V diplomskem delu bomo predstavili kritično infrastrukturo s poudarkom na našem edinem pristanišču, kot enem izmed objektov kritične infrastrukture. Pojem kritične infrastrukture velja za kompleksnega in zahtevnega. Označuje tisto infrastrukturo, ki je bila na podlagi vseh sektorskih in medsektorskih kriterijev določena za kritično infrastrukturo. Njena pomembnost je tako velika, da bi v primeru prekinitve njenega delovanja ali celo uničenja močno ogrozili tako življenja ljudi kot tudi delovanje same države nasploh. Predstavili bomo pravno podlago, ki obravnava dotično področje. Na nacionalni ravni je to Zakon o kritični infrastrukturi, na nivoju Evropske unije pa Uredba o evropski kritični infrastrukturi ter ostale podzakonske akte. V nadaljevanju se bomo osredotočili na varovanje našega pristanišča, kot enega izmed objektov kritične infrastrukture, ki je mednarodno priznano in ki obenem predstavlja povezavo Srednje Evrope s preostalim delom sveta. Predstavili bomo pravno podlago, ki ureja varovanje, ukrepe in pooblastila varnostnikov s poudarkom na varovanju pristanišča, ki je specifično in se razlikuje od varovanja drugih objektov, in sicer trgovin, lokalov in drugih objektov. Ker je koprsko pristanišče objekt kritične infrastrukture, je vzpostavitev mehanizmov za samo zaščito ključnega pomena. Vključujoč zgolj pravno podlago, ki se nanaša na kritično infrastrukturo, na njeno varovanje in zaščito ne bi bilo dovolj za tako uspešno upravljanje koprskega pristanišča in varovanja le-tega. Zaradi navedenega so poleg zgoraj omenjene pravne podlage zasluženi še vsi interni akti, varnostno-tehnični sistem in ne nazadnje zaposleni v pristanišču z visoko pripadnostjo podjetju s Področjem pristaniške varnosti na čelu, ki se zavedajo pomembnosti in resnosti poklica, ki ga opravljajo v pristanišču. Diplomsko delo smo zaključili s potrditvijo prve zastavljene hipoteze: »V stalne ukrepe za zaščito kritične infrastrukture spadajo vsi ukrepi varnostnikov, ki jih določa Zakon o zasebnem varovanju«, in z zavrnitvijo druge, ki se glasi: »Država zagotavlja ustrezne podlage za učinkovito varovanje kritične infrastrukture«. Glede na to, da se temu področju šele v zadnjem času namenja več pozornosti imamo dobra izhodišča za nadaljnje urejanje varnosti kritične infrastrukture. In the herewith thesis we will talk about the critical infrastructure by focusing on just the only Port we do have in terms of being as one of the critical infrastructure facilities. The very concept of the critical infrastructure is considered to be both complex and challenging. It indicates the infrastructure that has been designated as critical on the basis of all sectoral and cross-sectoral criteria. Its importance is so great that in the event of an interruption of its own operation or even destruction, it would seriously endanger both the lives of the people and the general functioning of the country itself. Moreover, legal basis of the matter in question will be then introduced. On the national level it is to take into consideration the Critical Infrastructure Act and on the European Union level we should respect both the European Critical Infrastructure Regulation and all the other by-laws that may certainly prove helpful. As we proceed, particular attention will be placed on the protection of our port, being as one of the critical infrastructure facilities that is internationally recognized and at the same time represents the connection between Central Europe and the rest of the world. In addition, legal basis that regulates security, measures and powers delegated to the security officers, with emphasis placed upon port security which is no doubt quite specific and different from the security offered to other facilities, such as shops, outlets and other premises, will also be introduced. Given that the Port of Koper is in fact an object of critical infrastructure, establishing self-protection mechanisms is crucial. Including only the legal basis closely connected to the critical infrastructure, its security and protection would not be sufficient when it comes to successfully manage and protect the Port of Koper. What is more, to the aforementioned legal basis, all the internal acts, the security and technical system, and the employees working at the Port, being devoted and loyal to the company they work for, the merit should be attributed to. The fact is that they are the ones who are aware of the importance and seriousness of the profession they perform in the port. The diploma thesis was completed by confirming the first hypothesis stated: "Among the permanent measures implemented by the security guards to protect the critical infrastructure include all security measures stipulated by the Private Security Act". It is to underline that we had to reject the second hypothesis that was as follows: "The State provides adequate basis for an effective protection of the critical infrastructure". Considering the fact that more attention has only recently been devoted to this issue, we still have good starting points for further regulation of the critical infrastructure security.
