Right of way to my property

[patricia]

Hi To Everybody,

Is there anybody who could explain what I need to do to get a legal right of way over a strip of Croation government owned land, to access a property that I own.

Some information on this would be truly helpfull,

Thanks

have witnesses who will say that you have been walking over it for 20 years unchallenged by the owner. Otherwise, I don't know

I have no experience in these matters, but I'm sure there must be a way. Pretty much everybody uses government land to access their property. Think footpaths and roads.
Try going to this site

A surveyor in Croatia, is called a Goemeter. you can get a recommendation from an estate agent, a lawyer or the people at the katastar (if they feel like being helpful) or you can look them up in the yellow pages (t-portal). There are only a handful per area and following the attempts to clean up land ownership issues over the last few years, they are all overworked (and in my opinion they over charge). So be ready for a long wait and a biggish fee!
