Impact of Critical Infrastructure Ownership on the National Security of the Republic Of Croatia

Based on the property law, the owner has the right and the power to exercise and protect his interests over the property at his disposal. It is likewise one of the fundamental principles of lawful action and procedures of the legal state. The above premise is also important for the national security and critical infrastructure which are increasingly interrelated. Critical infrastructure is a relatively new concept in Croatia and conceptual levels are in the process of official definition. Public debate and the adoption of the Critical Infrastructure Act are under way, which shall systematically define the issues stated above in the context of national security. Legal rulings and definitions to date have in general partially considered these issues and have been insufficient considering the importance of critical infrastructure and its impact on the national security. In this paper the authors will analyze critical infrastructure in the context of national security and the importance of ownership and their role in the context of national security, and above all the connections between these three concepts, that is, these three categories. Hereafter, the authors will examine different theories of privatization and then present critical infrastructure concepts in selected countries, as well as the examples of privatization of selected elements of critical infrastructure in Croatia with regard of the ownership structure in various sectors. Depending on the properties of individual sub-sectors, the consequences of privatization and its impact on the national security of the Republic of Croatia also vary.
