O granicama u sjevernom Jadranu (1948.-2009.) : s posebnim osvrtom na kronološki kartografski prikaz
Boundaries in the northern Adriatic 1948-2009 : with particular emphasis on chronological cartographic analysis

Summary/Abstract: Maritime boundaries can be boundaries of certain maritime areas of states, or delimitation lines of marine and submarine areas among states where the coasts of states continue on from one another or lie opposite each other. In this paper, all the boundaries in the North Adriatic are analyzed, that is, the boundaries of certain marine and submarine areas of coastal states, as are the boundaries of maritime areas among states and, in particular, disputable questions of delimitation between Croatia and Slovenia whose negotiations commenced immediately after independence, but which have not culminated into a final solution. Research commenced with 1948 when the first Yugoslav regulation, the Coastal Sea of the Federal National Republic of Yugoslavia Act was enacted by which straight starting lines were drawn for the first time through the Croatian part of the Adriatic Sea (Art.3) and a width of 6 miles of territorial waters for the former state was determined (Art. 5), and ended in 2009 with the implementation of the official ''Slovenian e-atlas okolja'' (environmental e-atlas) in which the Slovenian maritime boundary (external boundary of territorial sea waters) was drawn in front of the Croatian coast. A cartographic analysis of all boundaries of certain maritime areas of coastal states in the North Adriatic was chronologically given, the boundaries of the marine and submarine areas among those states were determined (drawn), as were the standpoints of Croatia and Slovenia in the disputable delimitation, and the maps of their unilateral acts.
