STATE ACTIVE PARTICIPATION THROUGH: 1. Directorate general for the civil aviation (DGCA)- operates within the Ministry of the Sea, Traffic and Infrastructure; 2. Agency for civil aviation (Agency)- founded recently, took over part of Directorate’s work (the most important part being safety), 100% owned by the State, directly responsible to the Government

BUT, STATE AS THE OWNER: Manages the airport through the Ministry responsible for Civil Aviation (i.e. Minsitry of Sea, Transport and Infrastructure), Being organizational unit within the Ministry,DGCA “…have the compentences in civil aviation delegated by the Minister, provided, however, that the Minister shall remain overall responsible for ensuring that DGCA properly and lawfully exercises any duty or power that has been so delegated.”

STATE AID RULES: - Based on article 70 of the Stabilization and Association Agreement, on January 28 th 2009 the Government issued a Decision with the most recent State Aid rules - All the documents in force in the EU, including ECJ decisions - All the documents concerning State Aid rules became national law: Community guidelines on financing of airports and start-up aid to airlines departing from regional airports, the Altmark decision, all the relevant Regulations and Directives…

CONCLUSION Airports in Croatia publicly owned: managed by the State and the local government Only recently concession on airports explicitly in a legal document, Legal situation not very different from that within the EU, due to: ICAO convention and harmonization process in the area (ECAA and all the documents Croatia has to apply according to the ECAA)
