Aims and objectives of the study. The aim of the work is to conduct a comparative legal study of such World Heritage properties as Lake Ohrid and Lake Baikal. To achieve the goal the following tasks were set: study of the activities of the Intergovernmental Committee for the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage in relation to the considered properties, study of the national legislation of the Russian Federation, North Macedonia and Albania, study of the general problematic issues of protection of the World Heritage properties, in particular, the issues of territorial planning and real estate construction, development of proposals to optimize the activities for the protection of Lake Baikal.

Results, brief conclusions. The study shows the common problems in the protection of the lake systems under consideration, and also takes into account the significant differences due, among other things, to the spatial size of the reservoirs. In conclusion, the paper formulates proposals aimed at improving the conservation of the World Heritage Site of Lake Baikal, as well as emphasizes the spiritual significance of Lake Baikal for the inhabitants of the Baikal region and all Russians, it seems appropriate to recognize the lake as a cultural World Heritage property.
