POLITIČKO-PRAVNI ZNAČAJ GRAĐANA I JAVNOG MNJENJA U ZAŠTITI ŽIVOTNE SREDINE

The discourse on the importance of public opinion in Serbia still does not occupy a central place in scientific works, author analysis, even in daily political debates. But it is almost certain that the future looks bright for such a task, given the multiple intertwining of this phenomenon, law and politics. Although skepticism prevailed for a long time regarding the accuracy of the results of public opinion polls, in recent times, with the help of some natural disciplines (mathematics, statistics), as well as social psychology, public opinion has become subject to empirical tests with a very high percentage of forecasting. The participation of the citizens of the Republic of Serbia in their political life has enabled certain legal acts. This can be easily seen by analyzing our basic legal act - the Constitution, as well as laws and regulations. In terms of politics in the field of environmental protection, regulations of our country guarantee certain rights to the citizens regarding the information on the state of the environment.Diskurs o značaju javnog mnjenja u Srbiji još uvek ne zauzima centralno mesto u naučnim radovima, autorskim analizama, pa čak ni u dnevnopolitičkim raspravama. No, gotovo je izvesno da je pred takvim zadatkom svetla budućnost, s obzirom na višestruku isprepletanost ovog fenomena, prava i politike. Iako je dugo vladala skepsa po pitanju tačnosti rezultata istraživanja javnog mnjenja, u poslednje vreme, uz pomoć nekih prirodnih disciplina (matematika, statistika), kao i socijalne psihologije, javno mnjenje je postalo predmet empirijskih ispitivanja sa veoma visokim procentom prognostičnosti. Učešće građana Republike Srbije u njenom političkom životu omogućeno je određenim pravnim aktima. Ovo se sa lakoćom može uočiti i analizirajući osnovni pravni akt naše (i svake druge) države – Ustav, ali i zakone i ostale propise. Kada je reč o politici u oblasti zaštite životne sredine, propisi naše države garantuju određena prva građanima u pogledu informisanja o stanju životne sredine
