Summary/Abstract: The three laws analyzed and compared in this work, although dealing with the same issue of religious rights and freedoms, show the conceptual differences in their approaches. These differences are mirrored in the priorities or preferences they give to various issues, or sets of issues, visible, among other things, from the amount of attention they dedicate to those issues. At the same time, and leaving these differences aside, we could say that these laws are very similar, especially in terms of the form and the choice of the issues they regulate. Probable reasons for this are: same or similar sources used - previous legislative regulations, of the common state they were all members of; international standards, about which everyone is concerned mostly because of the same aspirations of joining the European integrations; similar, if not the same, experiences and temptations, which young democracies and countries in transition usually face.
