Javnopravne

Javnopravne is a term used in Croatian law to refer to entities that are not legal persons but are recognized by law as having certain rights and obligations. These entities are often established by law or by a decision of a competent authority. They can include various types of organizations, institutions, and associations that operate in the public interest.

Examples of javnopravne entities include public broadcasting companies, public utilities, and certain types of non-profit organizations. These entities are typically funded through public resources or through fees paid by their users or members. They are subject to oversight by the relevant government authorities to ensure they are operating in the public interest.

The status of javnopravne entities is distinct from that of legal persons, which are entities that have the capacity to enter into contracts and own property. Javnopravne entities are generally not considered legal persons, although they may have some of the characteristics of legal persons, such as the ability to enter into contracts and own property.

The recognition of javnopravne entities as having certain rights and obligations is an important aspect of the Croatian legal system, as it allows for the establishment of organizations and institutions that can operate in the public interest without being subject to the same restrictions as private entities. This can be particularly important in areas such as public broadcasting, where the provision of certain services is considered to be in the public interest.
