Abstract

The paper presents a brief account of the environmental protection development in the Republic of Croatia and of the state of the environment immediately before the Patriotic War. Follows the analysis of environmental destruction and endangering during war activities, and the discussion of possible scale of environmental damages. The authors point to the non–existence of the criteria and economic parameters for the estimation of real damages caused to the environment in the Republic of Croatia. The situation is considerably complicated by the fact that transformation of the Croatian society towards market economy is under way without developed system of environmental protection. The authors also discuss environmental problems emerging from the process of privatization, as well as some other problems that countries with transitional economies are faced with in this problem area.
