In developing environmental laws, Macedonia has drawn upon a number of technical resources. For example, Macedonia has consulted and sought comments from Croatia and Bulgaria regarding draft laws on various aspects of environmental protection. This was done in the context bilateral cooperation with Croatia and Bulgaria. The bilateral agreements signed by Macedonia with these States provides for cooperation in the field of environmental legislation through the exchange of information. Under these agreements, the Parties established joint committees for cooperation in the field of the environmental protection. During the course of the regular meetings of the joint committees, the States discuss ongoing processes to develop national environmental legislation, and they exchange information and experiences to improve the draft text of the legislation.
