Sažetak
Unmanned aircrafts are used for diverse applications, from military and surveillance purposes to the entertainment industry and delivery. Although they can be used for various purposes there are some serious problems with respect to their usage. Inadequate legal regulation is one of them. Unmanned aircrafts in the European Union are used under a fragmented regulatory framework since every Member State has its own regulation. Such a situation strengthens legal uncertainty and slows down the development of unmanned aircrafts usage. The main challenges for the use of drones are safety and privacy issues. Solving barriers regarding legal regulation will enable further development of drones. Due to constant progress of unmanned aircrafts and actions at the European regulatory level, Member States will need to change their national legislation which will hopefully lead to the harmonisation of rules that regulate unmanned aircraft operations. This paper will provide a definition of unmanned aircrafts and other relevant terms, as well as the types currently used throughout the world. The paper will review legal regulation in the EU and in the Republic of Croatia. There are still some open questions concerning the regulation of the unmanned aircrafts so the paper also discusses possible problems as well as some proposals for further action.
