U pravnom smislu, koncesija predstavlja dozvolu za obavljanje neke djelatnosti
uvjetovana posebnim odobrenjem, te su koncesije dvostrani pravni odnosi, što znači da se
uvijek razvijaju izmeĎu dviju strana, odnosno izmeĎu davatelja koncesije i koncesionara. U
hrvatskom pravu, potrebno je prije davanja koncesije provesti pripremne radnje, a
pripremnim radnjama osobito se smatraju: imenovanje stručnog povjerenstva za koncesiju,
izrada studije opravdanosti davanja koncesije ili analize davanja koncesije, procjena
vrijednosti koncesije, te izrada dokumentacije za nadmetanje. Da bi se zasnovao koncesijski
odnos, potrebno je, pored odluke o koncesiji, sklopiti ugovor o koncesiji kojim se odreĎuju
prava i obveze davatelja koncesije i koncesionara. Davatelj koncesije duţan je kontinuirano
nadzirati rad koncesionara i izvršavanja njegovih obveza iz ugovora o koncesiji. U Republici
Hrvatskoj se, uz Zakon o koncesijama, primjenjuju i drugi propisi, kao što je Zakon o
pomorskom dobru i morskim lukama.In the legal sense, the concession is a license to carry out some activity subject to
special approval, and concessions are bilateral legal relations, which means that they always
develop between the two parties, is between the concessionaire and the concessionaire. In
Croatian law, it is necessary to carry out preparatory actions prior to the granting of the
concession, and preparatory actions are particularly considered to be: the appointment of a
concession expert commission, the development of a justification for granting a concession or
a concession analysis, the assessment of concession value and the drawing up of bidding
documents. In order to build a concession relationship, in addition to the concession decision,
it is necessary to conclude a concession contract defining the rights and obligations of the
concessionaire and the concessionaire. The concessionaire is obliged to continuously monitor
the work of the concessionaire and the performance of its obligations under the concession
contract. In the Republic of Croatia, other regulations, such as the Maritime Law and
Seaports, are being applied by the Law on Concessions
