Abstract: Even though the environment plays an important role in human
life, its legal aspect only recently has been given the proper attention. During
the last decades, the EU legislation contributed in developing a national legal
framework in order to protect and conserve the natural and human environ-
ment and everything it consists of. The book starts by providing a formal defini-
tion of the environment, as well as the general principles of environmental law
and the consistutional recognition of the right in the environment. The book
then examines the legal framework for environmental licensing of projects and
activities, as well as for the protection of the elements of the natural and the
human environment, such as forests, biodiversity, landscape, archaeological
zones, historical landscape and cultural heritage. The book further provides
the context of the national spatial planning and urban planning law and of
the law of the unauthorised building. In the end, the book examines the EU
environmental legislation and the legal framework for the environmental legal
protection in administrative, civil and penal level.
