Croatia adopted a Decree on coastal areas

As a consequence of a rapid and uncontrolled development in Croatian coastal areas, and taking into account the expected pressures in the future, the Government issued a Decree for the protection of coastal areas. Very specific norms and standards are prescribed for urban development and for other sectors using coastal resources. This is the first legal document of this kind in the Mediterranean . Therefore, PAP/RAC made a translation from Croatian into English and French. However, take note that this text is not officially approved .
