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, 1
2007. 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 rules
are introduced.
