Legal aspect of organization and domain of work of Croatian Coast Guard with a special reference to the Coast Guard Law

Summary/Abstract: An idea about establishing new maritime administrative body in a shape of Coast Guard in the Republic of Croatia was born during the early 90-es of the last century. However, more than a decade has passed since proposals concerning its foundation became concrete. Finally, in October 2007, Croatian Parliament adopted Coast Guard Law which determined organization and domain of work of Croatian Coast Guard, as well as its authority, tasks and assignments. The Law came into force on November, 12007. According to this Law, fundamental tasks and assignments of a Coast Guard are protection of sovereign rights and implementation of jurisdiction of the Republic of Croatia in Protected Ecological-Fishing Zone, Continental shelf and High seas, while in Internal sea and Territorial sea Coast Guard gives support to other authorized bodies of government administration in execution of the Law and other regulation under its competence in conformity with this Law. Coast Guard Law prescribes enacting a great number of ordinances and statutes with the purpose of detailed regulation of Coast Guard’s organization and domain of work. Although with delay, majority of those rule sare introduced.
