Abstract
During more than 12 centuries of its history, the Boka Navy has changed its name, functions and statutes several times, maintaining the continuity based on fundamental values. From the beginning, it had statutes that regulated its activities, goals, rights and obligations of members, manner and governing bodies. The oldest surviving statute dates from 1463 and it was in force until 1873, a full 410 years. Later, the statutes were changed several times due to frequent changes in the states of which the Bay of Kotor was a part, i.e. changes in administrative and legal systems. This paper analyzes all known statutes from the oldest from 1463 to the current one from 2016, and follows the changes of the Navy itself, from the medieval brotherhood of sailors to the current NGO Boka Navy Kotor, which in 2021 was inscribed on the U-NESCO Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage.
