Abstrakt: The aim of this study is to compare environmental management of waste between consumers of the former Yugoslavian republics. The starting points are H1: there are differences in environmental management of waste between consumers from the former Yugoslavian republics and H2: there are demographic differences in consumers’ environmental management of waste between consumers from the former Yugoslavian republics. The survey was conducted on a sample of 1550 respondents from all the former Yugoslavian republics. The obtained results show that there are differences between consumers from Macedonia and all other former Yugoslavian republics as well as between Montenegro and Serbia, Croatia and Slovenia. Also, differences were noticed between consumers’ environmental management of various types of waste. At the same time, results indicate that there are no differences in gender but differences in age, degree of education and monthly income by households exist related to environmental management of waste between consumers from former Yugoslavian republics. Through adequate implementation of obtained results, consumers’ environmental management of waste may become a powerful tool of environmental protection, because it would contribute to the increase of environmentally responsible behavior of consumers in the region of former Yugoslavian republics as well as on a global basis.
