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.
