  • Description:   The aim of this article is to analyse the position of Slovakia and the Czech Republic in the European Union (EU) from the viewpoint of the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis. The EU-27 data used in the study supports the hypothesis of the EKC. As the EU countries are heterogeneous, the countries were further classified into "rich" and "poor" according to their GDPs, and further analyses were performed. Consider the "rich" EU countries, and the EKC hypothesis holds. But if the "poor" EU countries are taken into account, the coefficient of the quadratic regressor is positive, which relates to the traditional U-shaped curve, not the inverted one. Such a finding does not contradict the EKC hypothesis, as it assumes that at low levels of economic output, as development progresses, emissions levels increase. The results also showed that CO2 emissions have been decreasing very slightly in both Slovakia and the Czech Republic since 1992.
