Sažetak
As part of the FP 6 Project, a project named WEB- ENV ?Development of environmental guidelines for the region of Western Balkans? dealt with the state of the environment in the region of the West Balkan Countries: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, FYR Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia. The parameters which were observed were air and water quality, solid waste pollution, soil degradation and state of biodiversity. The results are presented as an extended mapping exercise identifying major environmental problems in each country. The main objective of the project is the development of general environmental guidelines concerning all the region of Western Balkan Countries that could be useful for the formation of a generalized approach for the management of environmental problems of great significance for the region and natural resources. The results used in the project were obtained from relevant national or international institutions. This paper outlines the comparative analysis of the parameters observed in the project and their respective resources. This paper also presents the impact of some polluters on the environmental condition of the countries surrounding Western Balkans. The analysis of data proves that certain areas have insufficient parameters especially in the field of ground water quality and soil degradation. Another problem in the comparative analysis was discrepancy of year of data collection. In order to get better understanding of the environmental issue in the region it has been determined that it was necessary to provide comprehensive data monitoring via regional projects on the territory of the Western Balkans.
