NEW REGISTERS IN CROATIAN REGISTRATION LAW: THE REGISTER OF CO-OWNERSHIP COMMUNITIES AND THE REGISTER OF BUILDING MANAGERS

Sažetak ( sa ključnim riječima): Sažetak: U hrvatskom pravnom sustavu uspostavljeno je nekoliko javnih registara. Glavni cilj njihove uspostave je sustavno prikupljanje relevantnih podataka i njihovo objavljivanje. Cilj ovog rada je analizirati nove registre uvedene Zakonom o upravljanju i održavanju zgrada, koji je stupio na snagu 1. siječnja 2025. U tom smislu, ovaj rad proučava osnovna načela materijalnog i procesnog registaskog prava te ih uspoređuje s onima drugih javnih registara u Republici Hrvatskoj. Posebno se fokusira na pitanja koja proizlaze iz prava na pristup informacijama (bilo za pojedince bilo za širu javnost) i prava na privatnost, s posebnim osvrtom na recentnu sudsku praksu europskih sudova. Cilj ovog rada je identificirati glavne argumente koji bi trebali biti uzeti u obzir pri zakonodavnom reguliranju ovog pitanja i tako doprinijeti tekućoj raspravi o zaštiti osobnih podataka u pravu registara. Analiza je metodološki zasnovana na usporedbi relevantnog zakonodavstva Bosne i Hercegovine sa zakonodavstvom Republike Hrvatske. Cilj ovog rada je ispitati koje se pouke mogu izvući iz hrvatskog iskustva i kako te pouke primijeniti u zakonodavstvu Bosne i Hercegovine s ciljem poboljšanja zakonodavstva o registrima (de lege ferenda). Također će se uzeti u obzir ograničavajući faktori, prvenstveno u vezi s državnom strukturom Bosne i Hercegovine. Ključne riječi: javni registri, Registar zajednica suvlasnika, Registar upravitelja zgrada, Zakon o upravljanju i održavanju zgrada. Summary: In the Croatian legal system, a number of public registers have been established. The main objective of their creation is the systematic collection of relevant data and their publication. The aim of this paper is to analyze the new registers introduced by the Act on Management and Maintenance of Buildings, which entered into force on 1 January 2025. In this regard, this paper examines the basic principles of substantive and procedural register law and compares them with those of other public registers in the Republic of Croatia. It focuses in particular on issues arising in the context of the right of access to information (whether for individuals or the public at large) and the right to privacy, with special reference to recent case law of the European courts. The aim of this paper is to identify the main arguments that should be taken into account in the legislative regulation of this issue and thus contribute to the ongoing debate on personal data protection in register law. The analysis is methodologically based on a comparison of the relevant legislation in Bosnia and Herzegovina with the legislation in the Republic of Croatia. The aim of this paper is to examine what lessons can be learned from the Croatian experience and how these lessons can be applied in the law of Bosnia and Herzegovina in order to improve the legislation on registers (de lege ferenda). It will also take into account the limiting factors primarily regarding the state structure of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Keywords: public registers, the Register of Co-ownership Communities, the Register of Building Managers, Act on Management and Maintenance of Buildings.
