Sažetak
First, the main traits of the legal regime of the exclusive economic zone are explained especially sovereign rights and jurisdiction that Yugoslavia could acquire by proclaiming such a zone in the Adriatic Sea. Some proposals are presented concerning measures and acts which should accompany such a proclamation in regard to future co-operation with neighbouring coastal states.
This author advocates proclamation of exclusive economic zones by Italy and Albania also. All Adriatic coastal states could then reach agreements necessary for maintenance of populations of harvested species at levels which will produce the maximum sustainable yields. Without proper conservation measures this Sea is condemned to exhaustion of its living resources by over-exploitation which is continuously growing.
Even more important is the fact that in this narrow and enclosed Sea there are still areas under the regime of the high seas. Thus no coastal state can introduce legislation aimed at prevention of pollution from vessels navigating through them. Major accidents of large tankers or other ships carrying noxious substances or materials, are likely to be disastrous for all living resources in the Adriatic, as well as for tourism along all its coast.
Following the proclamation of exclusive economic zones the coastal states could reach agreement on uniform laws and regulations for the prevention, reduction and control of pollution from ships in the Adriatic, as provided in Articles 210, 211, 218 and 220 of the 1982 UN Law of the Sea Convention. All of them should co-operate in all other domains provided in Article 123 of the said Convention.
