Abstract

The implementation process of the European Union Directive on Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC) is a good example of unforeseeable and sometimes insurmountable obstacles to a workable transposition of European legal acquis into the Serbian legal system. A highly technical, costly and legally complicated procedure which presupposes coordination among many various bodies of the state administration came into life as a dead letter for most of its purposes. However, it seems that lessons have not been learnt and that the newly prescribed deadlines for the next round of implementation are again being formulated in the optimistic manner. In the course of this article, author is analyzing the contents and implications of the pollution control on the Union level, as well as the manner and success of the Republic of Serbia in its implementation. Author indicates that the results so far represent an underachievement but, at the same time, the question is whether they could have been any better regarding the level of legal and socio-economic development of the Republic of Serbia.
