LEGAL FRAMEWORK OF CONCESSIONS

U radu se razmatra pravni okvir koncesija i izlaže geneza pravnog uređenja koncesija od 1990. godine do novog Zakona o koncesijama iz 2017.godine. Novi zakon je svojevrstan nastavak zakonodavne djelatnosti nakon donošenja Direktive 2014/23/EU o dodjeli ugovora o koncesiji kojom su postavljeni novi standardi Europske unije, obvezujući za Republiku Hrvatsku. U radu se nadalje razmatra sam pojam koncesije, postupak davanja koncesije, ugovor o koncesiji, prestanak koncesije i pravna zaštita u postupcima davanja koncesije. Koncesija je pravo koje se stječe ugovorom, što znači da je koncesija dvostrani pravni odnos između davatelja koncesije i koncesionara.The paper reviews the legal framework for concessions and outlines the genesis of concessions regulation from 1990 to the new Concessions Act of 2017.
