About this statute

This preamble says the law is intended to create the legal basis for Kosovo’s forests and for their administration, protection, conservation, increase, and sustainable development, including other non-wood forest products. The law may be cited as the Law on Forests of Kosovo, and Kosovo’s forests are treated as national resources to be managed for valuable yields while protecting biodiversity. This article defines key terms used in the law, including executive agency, forest, forest land, forest products, the forest agency, minister, ministry, parcel, person, private forests, public forests, regulation, and PSSP. Kosova must manage forests according to stated sustainability principles. Forest plans must support regeneration, reforestation, and scientific management. Cutting trunks in natural forest areas must not leave less than 40% forest cover unless a listed exception applies. The Minister may issue regulations on forest-management methods and principles. In a dispute over whether a property includes forest or forest land, the municipal property authority may decide the boundary extent within the municipality, and the injured party may ask the Municipal Court to review that decision.
