Although the EU has been heavily involved in the reconstruction of the Balkan region, little foreign investment has been forthcoming. This is partly because state ownership of corporations is still common. Corrupt and non-transparent decision making by these corporations is commonplace. In this atmosphere the prospect of foreign transnational corporations taking a decisive role in large infrastructure projects has been welcomed by policy makers in the region. This project seeks to assess whether this attitude is naive given the possibility that significant environmental damage may be caused by such projects. In order to assess the danger of this happening the project will examine the environmental laws and regulations to discover if they are EU compliant and sufficiently robust to withstand the dangers of environmental damage at this critical time and whether the procedures in place for the involvement of the public and civil society organisations comply with human rights standards.

尽管欧盟一直在大力参与巴尔干地区的重建，但几乎没有外国投资。部分原因是国有企业仍然很普遍。这些公司的腐败和不透明的决策是司空见惯的。在这种气氛下，外国跨国公司在大型基础设施项目中发挥决定性作用的前景受到本区域决策者的欢迎。考虑到这些项目可能造成严重的环境破坏，本项目试图评估这种态度是否幼稚。为了评估这种情况发生的危险，该项目将审查环境法律和法规，以确定它们是否符合欧盟标准，是否足够强大，能够承受在这个关键时刻对环境造成破坏的危险，以及公众和民间社会组织参与的程序是否符合人权标准。
