“…The EC Guide to Approximation of the EU Environmental Legislation states that the costs and benefits of various possibilities should be considered and that necessary funds should be estimated; but the way, details and accurateness of estimations are left to member states (Commission of the European Communities, 1997: 12). 1 The document does not treat various aspects of the process. However, for candidate countries, the procedure is more important than the consequences that would include the failure to transpose some directives in their national legislations in time.…”

The Europeanization process, conceived as harmonisation of national regulations with EU legislation, is a complex process which is marked by various socioeconomic and political conditions. For more than nine years, the Republic of Serbia (RS) has been a European Union (EU) candidate country. In response to the defined objectives, the process of preparing and adopting regulations has been partly changed in the RS. However, the procedure still does not provide full perception and consideration of the specific conditions and possibilities of the RS economy and the society. In addition, the harmonization and implementation process has been facing a number of other challenges. Taking the example of environmental legislation of the RS and evaluating the conditions under which environmental laws were prepared and implemented, the paper explains the effects and limitations of the Europeanization process. The data show that there are some results in the harmonization and implementation of regulations that are in line with EU regulations. Almost all key environmental laws have been adopted, as well as a large number of bylaws. However, the huge implementation costs represent one of the long-term obstacles to achieving the goals of Europeanization.

“…Each of the EU Member States, based on previous experience, introduces its own legal regulations for the implementation of the provisions contained in the Directive 2000/60/ EC and Directive 2007/60/EC in the field of stormwater management. Obviously, learning about solutions in the other Member States can help bring forward the implementation of EU legislation, improve the effectiveness of stormwater management, and avoid mistakes [ALBRECHT 2013;BLÖCH 2004;KEESSEN et al 2010;LAWRANCE et al 2004;LIEFFERINK et al 2011;ROTKO 2013]. Nevertheless, project implementation based on binding Polish regulations proves to be rather challenging and raises a number of concerns among potential investors.…”

At present, stormwater management is one of the key issues in urban policy. This is due to the increasing urbanisation, climate change, the growing threat of extreme (weather) events and the need to protect water resources. Legislation plays an essential role in the process of project planning and implementation. The recognition of opportunities and barriers contained in these regulations forms the basis for action by the central government, local authorities and investors. The article aims to analyse legal provisions, administrative decisions and factual circumstances that provide the foundation of administrative court rulings in Poland and regard the legal possibilities of rainwater management in urban areas. The adopted research method allows for/includes the author's interpretation and formulation of de lege ferenda conclusions. The results of analyses of both European and national legislation and case law indicate that there is a problem with the interpretation of existing legislation and the lack of legal definitions of basic equipment and solutions in the field of water law, for instance. Such legal circumstances make it difficult to make the required legal decisions, and have a negative impact on the timing of implementation and number of these muchneeded projects.
