Abstract
This paper questions the possibility of property rights existing on maritime demesne real estate. The focus is put on the implemented transformation and privatisation of socially-owned companies whose assets consisted of maritime demesne real estate. Despite the fact that the latter has always had the status of a general demesne, an exception to the impossibility to acquire property rights on maritime demesne real estate has been provided in all laws which regulate the legal status of this special type of real estate. This exception is related to valid acquisitions of ownership and other property rights, although no law has defined, even approximately, what could be deemed a valid manner of acquiring property rights nor has it set a time frame for such acquisitions. In introduction, a historical overview is given of the legal regulation of real estate with the status of maritime demesne and the way of declaring this special type of real estate which is the only one with the general demesne status.
