Pravno urejanje in sovpadajoča institucionalna podpora izvrševanja predpisov ter nadzor plovbe po celinskih vodah je v Sloveniji podcenjena problematika. To še zlasti velja za Savski bazen, tako glede na pomen Save skozi čas in danes ter v primerjavi s Hrvaško. Članek obravnava analizo področnih predpisov in delovanja institucij, ki naj bi skrbele za njihovo izvrševanje na tem področju. Pri tem naj bi se upoštevalo hkrati skrb za gospodarski razvoj in varstvo okolja. Prvenstveno vlogo ima institucionalno Mednarodna komisija za Savski bazen, ki od leta 2005 deluje kot mednarodna organizacija na temelju Okvirnega sporazuma med štirimi državami pogodbenicami. Savska komisija je pristojna za sprejemanje odločitev na področju plovbe ter sprejemanje priporočil na vseh preostalih področjih, ki zadevajo upravljanja voda. Analiza delovanja te komisije pokaže, da je formalni okvir za njeno delo, vključno s predpisi o plovbi na celinskih vodah in splošne zakonodaje o vodah pri nas ustrezen, vendar se potenciali ne izrabljajo glede na primerljivo Hrvaško zaradi pomanjkanja strateških prednostnih nalog in premajhne povezanosti med različnimi organi. Težave so razvidne tudi na področju nadzora nad celinsko plovbo, kjer se pojavi tudi razkorak med cilji in delovanje države in občin. Vse to vodi v razdrobljeno obravnavo tematike. Zato se sklepno predlaga sistemski pristop.

Legal regulation and the concomitant institutional support for its enforcement regarding inland waterways navigation is an underestimated problem in Slovenia. This is especially true of the Sava River Basin, both given the importance of the Sava River over time and today and in com parison with Croatia. The article addresses the analysis of sectoral rules and regulations and the functioning of the institutions responsible for their implementation in this area. However, care for economic development and environmental protection should be taken into account simultaneously. Hereby, the International Sava River Basin Commission plays an institutional role, which since 2005 has operated as an international organisation under the Framework Agreement between the four contracting countries. The ISRBC is responsible for taking decisions in the field of navigation and for making recommendations in all other areas related to water management. An analysis of the functioning of this commission indicates that the formal framework for its work, including inland navigation regulations and general water legislation in Slovenia, is adequate, but potentials are not exploited fully relative to comparable Croatia due to lack of strategic priorities and lack of coherence between different authorities. Problems are also evident in the field of inland navigation supervision, where there is a discrepancy between the goals and the functioning of the state and municipalities. All this leads to a fragmentary treatment of the topic. Therefore, a systematic approach is finally proposed.
