o:2099 The protection of possession in the Roman law Zaštita državine u rimskom pravu sr ABSTRACT: We first encountered the possession as a legal institute in the Roman law. The aim of this paper is to expose the Roman law concept of the statehood and all the issues related to that institute with special emphasis put on its protection. Generally viewed, the possession is seen as a genuinely recognized factual authority over things. However, for centuries, this legal institute has tried to provide answers and solutions to controversial issues either derived from or related to this institute. The possession, as a legal institute, cannot be said to be simple. There are a number of reasons that justify its research because the whole range of legal actions is tied to the state. The first association with the possession is that it is a factual author- ity on things. However, such an authority is completely independent from the right to things, which gives the state a specificity of a particular weight. It is a common opinion among lawyers that there are three issues regarding the possession worth considering: the concept, the legal nature and the reasons for the possession (possessory) protection. The aim of this paper is to expose the legal protection of the possession and the ways in which it was done in the ancient Rome. The Roman law provided the protection of the possession through praetorian interdicts, the brief praetorian orders for something to be or not to be done, which were issued in order to preserve some factual situation. The importance of the interdicts in the Romans’ life was great, especially when one was aware of the advantage of the interdict over the protection of rights through a lawsuit, since the interdict protection did not require the right to the possession to be proved, which was difficult and complicated. A feature of interdiction disputes was speed and efficiency, so it was the reason why right-holders often opted for this type of protection, not just the holders of things. REZIME: Sa državinom kao pravnim institutom prvi put se srećemo u rimskom pravu. Cilj ovog rada je da se izloži rimskopravni koncept državine i sva problematika u vezi tog instituta sa posebnim akcentom na njenu zaštitu. Najopštije posmatrano na državinu se gleda kao na pravom priznatu faktičku vlast nad stvari, međutim, u vezi ovog pravnog instituta vekovima se pokušavaju pružiti odgovori i rešenja na sporna pitanja koja ili deriviraju iz ovog instituta ili su u vezi sa njim. Državina, kao pravni institut nije pravni institut za koji se može reći da je jednostavan. Postoji veliki broj razloga koji daju opravdanje za njeno istraživanje jer je za državinu vezan čitav spektar pravnih dejstava. Prva asocijacija na državinu je da je to faktička vlast na stvari, međutim, ta vlast je u potpunosti nezavisna u odnosu na pravo na stvar, što državini daje specifičnost sa posebnom težinom. Ustaljeno je mišljenje među pravnicima da postoje tri pitanja u vezi sa državinom vredna razmatranja: pojam, pravna priroda i razlozi državinske (posesorne) zaštite. Cilj ovog rada jeste da se izloži pravna zaštita državine i načini kako se to činilo u starom Rimu. Rimsko pravo je pružalo zaštitu državine putem pretorskih interdikta, kratkih pretorovih naloga da se nešto (ne)čini, koji su izdavani sa ciljem da se očuva neko faktičko stanje. Značaj interdikata za život Rimljana je bio veliki, posebno kada se zna za prednost interdikta u odnosu na zaštitu prava putem tužbe, jer interdiktna zaštita nije zahtevala da se dokazuje pravo da se stvar drži, što je znalo biti teško i komplikovano. Odlika interdiktnih sporova je bila brzina i efikasnost zbog čega su se često i titulari prava odlučivali na ovakav vid zaštite, a ne samo držaoci stvari.
