Summary/Abstract: Taking into consideration that humanity’s greatest achievements have been accomplished through projects in all areas of its activity, which, therefore, made its impact on the global environment increasingly negative, the state members of European Union have introduced the legislature to regulate environmental protection, stipulating thus numerous environmental laws and project related regulations. The paper, however, refers to several legal provisions important for environmental protection, such as directives on, so called, horizontal legislation as a part of EU legislation.This covers integration of environmental protection into all economic sectors, strategic assessment of plans and programs, assessment of project impact on environment, access to information and reporting on the implementation of directives on the environment. The environment protection legislation which regulates such projects significantly changes the understanding of project management. Consequently, the necessity of constant adapt existing models of project management to the newly emerging conditions, including legal regulations as a control instrument of environmental protection, is highly emphasized.
