The theme and problem of the degree paper were legal aspects of access to drinking water within three selected countries: the Republic of Slovenia, the Federal Republic of Germany and Bosnia and Herzegovina. The main purpose of the thesis was to examine the legal regulation of access to drinking water at the EU level, based on selected countries, SI and DE, and third country, BA, and to compare them with each other. The aim was achieved through mainly qualitative research methods. The theoretical part contains an overview, analysis and interpretation of primary sources. The empirical part contains the interpretation of the established data, the descriptive method, the review, analysis and interpretation of secondary sources, the compilation method, the case study research method and the comparative method. It was found that the diversity of access to drinking water in selected countries is influenced, among other things, by law. The field of drinking water in the EU is successfully and efficiently regulated. Legal arrangements for the right to access to drinking water, as well as the transposition of directives into national legislation and the actual implementation of EU directives by SI and DE differ as a result of various elements. SI and BA are recommended to use more uniform water management and more frequent involvement of the population. With this work, we contributed to the profession the first comparison of the legal regulation of access to drinking water in the selected countries. SI and BA have been given cues with which they can improve the current state of access to drinking water and the legal regulation of this area. This type of research is limited only to countries with similar natural conditions with each other.
