Abstract

Limiting the constitutional and legal framework to just mentioning the rights and responsibilities of citizens in the sphere of interaction with the environment is not enough. There is a need for constitutional norms that would directly name the environmental agenda, focus attention on the priorities of public administration, and establish principles for holding people accountable for violations of environmental and environmental legislation

Keywords
