Abstract

For achieving sporting excellence, the Republic of Croatia provides cash awards: a) prizes and b) continual monetary awards ( colloquially known as the „ Sports Pension“. The issue of prizes is regulated in art.81. a. Sports Acts (NN, no. 71/06, 150/08,124/10, 124/11 and 86/12further referred to as Sports Act (Zakon o Sportu) or SA (ZS). Scientifically, it is therefore very interesting to research the new concept of the „ Sports Pension „in comparative law. After the implemented research, we established that our legislative model was the Sports Act (Zakon o sportu) from the Republic of Serbia and that Croatian and Serbian athletes have the same rights for example as Hungarian athletes. On the other hand, we found that Slovenia, Belgium, Greece, France, Great Britain, USA, Holland etc do not have the same stated special rights and privileges. We can conclude that only certain ex-socialistic states have „Sports Pensions“ or „Olympic Annuities“ which means that they are not European at all neither are they world standards.
