Abstract

The EU countries are obliged to harmonize their legislation in the field of flood protection, and thus torrential floods, in accordance with the Water Framework Directive (WFD) which was adopted in 2000. Two EU countries, Austria and Italy, and three Western Balkan countries were selected for the strategic and legal framework of torrential flood control: Serbia, North Macedonia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina. In addition to the legal framework of torrential flood control in EU countries, policies and strategies related to this area were studied for comparative analysis with non-EU countries. The strategic framework for the protection of water resources, and in particular torrential flood protection, is lacking in all Western Balkan countries. The aim of this chapter is to determine the directions of future strategic directions and torrential flood control policies in the Western Balkans based on the experiences of EU countries, advantages and disadvantages of the existing strategic, and legal frameworks.

一些西巴尔干和欧盟国家防洪战略和法律框架

欧盟国家有义务根据2000年通过的《水框架指令》(WFD)，协调其在洪水保护领域的立法，从而协调洪水。奥地利、意大利等2个欧盟国家和塞尔维亚、北马其顿、波斯尼亚、黑塞哥维那等3个西巴尔干国家被选定为洪水控制的战略和法律框架。除了欧盟国家的洪水控制法律框架外，还研究了与该领域相关的政策和战略，并与非欧盟国家进行了比较分析。所有西巴尔干国家都缺乏保护水资源，特别是保护洪水的战略框架。本章的目的是根据欧盟国家的经验，现有战略和法律框架的优缺点，确定西巴尔干地区未来的战略方向和洪水控制政策的方向。
