Croatian inland navigation is going through a large crisis that can only partially be explained by global recession. Current model of port management, based on strict concession concept and later on somewhat more liberal approvals, cannot solve numerous problems. This paper lists basic problems of Croatian inland navigation ports and presents the legal frame as only one instruments of port and traffie policy, resulting in wrong belief that port organization structure may solve numerous problems. Reasons for Croatian river traffic and inland ports finding themselves in development stagnation are deeper than administrative-legislative level itself. It is necessary to have Croatian port policy in the space of joint activity of European traffic policy in its relation towards inland ports. Stopping stagnation and beginning of a new development cycle of Croatian inland ports and Croatian inland navigation in general cannot begin only by change of port management model or change of relationship between port management and port operators. The paper concludes necessity of multidiscipline development of a new strategy of this traffic branch's and later on, following the strategy, to develop new legal models.
