In all countries was agriculture influenced by planned economy, as a result the farm structure is different to majority of European countries. Various influences created in CEECs both heavily affected natural resources and lot of semi-natural habitats. Political framework changed at the end of 80ties and followed ten years of extensive agriculture with positive and negative affects on environment. Paper is discussing potential of new emerging agrienvironmental policies in framework of CAP for CEECs and especially for Czech Republic. At the same time attention is paid to needed changes in policies and capacity building in order to prepare adequate policies, which could save high values in nature and environment in CEECs.
