FINAL AWARD OF THE ARBITRAL TRIBUNAL RELATING TO MARITIME DELIMITATION BETWEEN THE REPUBLIC OF CROATIA AND THE REPUBLIC OF SLOVENIA

Tema ovog rada je odluka Arbitražnog suda u sporu između Republike Hrvatske i Republike Slovenije. Susjedne države nakon više od dva desetljeća samostalnosti nisu uspjele iznaći diplomatsko rješenje oko razgraničenja u Piranskom zaljevu i stoga je, u dobroj vjeri za postizanje konačnog rješenja spora, sklopljen arbitražni sporazum između dviju država kako bi konačna odluka Arbitražnog suda donijela dugo očekivani rasplet ovog teritorijalnog spora. Cilj ovog rada je pojasniti razvoj događaja koji su doveli do arbitraže kao načina rješavanja ovog pograničnog spora i analiza odluke Arbitražnog suda.The topic of this paper is the Final Award of the Arbitral Tribunal in the dispute between the Republic of Croatia and the Republic of Slovenia. After more than two decades of independence, neighboring states have failed to find a diplomatic solution about delimitation in the Bay of Piran and therefore, in good faith for achieving the final settlement of the dispute, an Arbitration agreement has been concluded between the two states to render the ruling of the Arbitral Tribunal a long-awaited outcome of this territorial dispute. The aim of this paper is to clarify the evolution of events that led to arbitration as a way of solving this border dispute and an analysis of the Final Award of the Arbitral Tribunal
