o:2398 Public procurement in Serbia as the special regime of contract law Javne nabavke u Srbiji kao poseban režim ugovornog prava en sr Abstract: The administrative and civil jurisprudence in Serbia and comparative legal systems do not concur on the nature of public procurement. While the literature on administrative law posits this emerging body of law into the public administrative law, many scholars of civil law in continental law systems subsume it under traditional law of obligations. This essay examines undefined systemic connections of the Public Procurement Act (PPA) with the law of obligations in the legal system of the Republic of Serbia. It suggests that the PPA norms, although do not explicitly refer to it, belong to a new special regime of contract law, which defining trait is the public personality of a procurement entity as one of the contracting parties. Therefore, it is proposed to consider rules of administrative decision-making on the contract awarding and its execution to be a new special regime of the contract law. Also, it is proposed to limit the superior position of the procurement entity in this relationship, for the sake of the preservation of basic civil law values. Sažetak: Nauke upravnog i građanskog prava, kako u Srbiji tako i uporednopravno, nisu saglasne o prirodi javnih nabavki. Dok se u literaturi upravnog prava ova narastajuća pravna grana i disciplina smiješta u upravno pravo, u kontinentalnim pravnim sistemima mnogi ih podvode pod tradicionalno obligaciono pravo. U ovom ogledu se ispituju nerazjašnjene sistemske veze Zakona o javnim nabavkama (ZJN) sa obligacionim pravom. Ukazuje se da norme ZJN, iako ne upućuju eksplicitno na to, pripadaju jednom novom posebnom režimu ugovornog prava, čija je osnovna specifičnost javnopravni subjektivitet naručioca kao jedne ugovorne strane. Zato se predlaže kvalifikovanje normi upravnog odlučivanja o ugovoru i njegovog izvršenja kao lex specialis ugvornog prava, kao i ograničavanje nadmoći naručioca u svrhu očuvanja osnovnih vrijednosti građanskog prava.
