Implementation of international environmental agreements and commitments

Since 1999 Croatia has ratified 22 multilateral environmental agreements (MEAs) (Annex II). The EU accession process contributed to a modification, refinement and reformulation of many of the laws and secondary legislation. The process of pre-accession negotiations and harmonization of the domestic legislation with that of the EU helped Croatia to continue, or even start in some cases, the implementation process. Full implementation of the MEAs is lacking at the level of regional and local self-governments.
