Recognizing the Ruling of a Court in Bosnia and Herzegovina on Initiating Bankruptcy Proceedings in the Republic of Croatia

U okviru međunarodnog stečaja posebno mjesto zauzima prijedlog za priznanje strane odluke o otvaranju stečajnog postupka.

The competent court in Croatia first considered the formal legal requirements. The reasons for dismissal were explained as the established omissions were not remedied during the procedure. Since this is an effective ruling of a Croatian bankruptcy court, the argument can be used as a basis for court practic
