The importance of environmental protection: Croatia in the European Union accession process

Abstract: One of the most demanding European Union policy areas, the environment has become important in the accession negotiations process. Transposition of the acquis, ensuring its adequate implementation and absorbing the pre-accession funds constitute an enormous task for any, particularly a small, candidate country. Croatia is, in this respect, facing a great challenge and this article shows that there is still a long way to go. The lack of financing strategies and carefully planned timetables for implementation of the obligations sends a clear message that decisions should be made and actions taken immediately
