odobrenje

Odobrenje is a noun in South Slavic languages (Bosnian, Croatian, Serbian, and Montenegrin) that denotes formal permission or approval granted by a competent authority to undertake a specified action, project, or use a right. It derives from the verb odobriti, meaning to approve or authorize. Odobrenje can refer to the act of approving as well as the resulting authorization.

Odobrenje is used in a variety of contexts. In public administration and law, it appears in building permits, zoning changes, business licenses, environmental approvals, and other regulatory authorizations. In corporate settings, it describes required approvals for projects, expenditures, contracts, or strategic decisions. In everyday life, individuals may seek odobrenje for activities that require official consent, such as travel, use of resources, or access to restricted services.

In healthcare and research, odobrenje may denote formal approval by an ethics committee or regulatory body for studies or patient-related procedures, though terms such as saglasnost or pristup (consent) are often used for patient consent, depending on the context.

The process usually involves submitting a request or application to the appropriate authority, evaluation against applicable rules, and a formal decision communicated to the applicant. An odobrenje may be granted with conditions and can be subject to time limits, renewals, revisions, or revocation if requirements are not met or if circumstances change.

See also: saglasnost, pristup, pristanak, licenci ili dozvola. Odobrenje differs from general consent in its emphasis on formal authorization by an authority rather than voluntary agreement alone.
