TERMINOLOŠKO I POJMOVNO ODREĐENjE BANKE KAO SUBJEKTA USLUŽNOG PRAVA

In order to determine the essence of the bank, as an economic entity, the authors first determined its definition, both terminologically and conceptually. Furthermore, the theoretical and lexicographic definition of the bank is analyzed, as well as the definitions given in the positive law of the Republic of Serbia and in comparative law, primarily in the states that emerged from the former republics of SFRY, and then in English and German law, as well as the EU. The authors came to the conclusion that there is a common denominator for all analyzed definitions on the basis of which the terminological and conceptual definition of a bank is precisely determined.
