Five years ago the Republic of Croatia deposited the notification of succession with the UN Secretary General, on the basis of which it became a party to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (Montego Bay, 1982), while it acceeded to the Agreement Relating to the Implementation of Part XI of the Convention (New York, 1994). The Croatian official translations of both international treaties were published in June 2000. The paper first deals with issues of succession of Croatia with respect to international conventions in general and then considers the same question related to the conventions on the law of the sea. The next chapter refers to some of the relevant provisions of the second part of the Maritime Code with the title “Marine and Submarine Areas of the Republic of Croatia", while problems regarding maritime delimitations between these Croatian areas and those ofits neighbouring states in the Adriatic, as well as various means of dispute settlement, are discussed in the final part.
