Protection of the environment and nature in the Republic of Macedonia is realized through measures and activities undertaken by the competent state authorities. These authorities include police, inspection authorities, competent ministries and other state authorities. In the current positive legislation, the responsibilities and authorizations under the frame of the protection of the competent state authorities are prescribed, as well as the way of realization of the supervision and control in order to protect the ecosystems, soil, water, and air. With the adoption of the new law for inspection supervision, the matter of inspecting authorities is regulated in a new way. Authors in this paper analyze legal provisions, with a special emphasis on the problems and obstacles with which the inspectors face in their everyday work, through performing their inspection supervision. Special importance is attached to the proposed measures, to overcome the practical issues, legal weaknesses and omissions, and also in the successful operation in the field, through undertaken activities for submission of criminal or misdemeanor charges which will be taken into consideration in the further litigation.
