OHR working group on state property held second meeting: Modalities for regulating agricultural land issues

(Patria) - The second consultative expert meeting on the issue of state property was held yesterday at the Delegation of the European Union in Sarajevo. At the session, the working group, consisting of prominent domestic and
international legal experts, discussed various modalities for regulating agricultural land issues in the context of a comprehensive solution to the issue of state property in Bosnia and
Herzegovina.

The experts considered the technical and legal aspects of ownership, use, and management of agricultural land, taking into account the current environment in Bosnia and Herzegovina, solutions applied in other systems, and other criteria such as agricultural production and environmental protection.

The task of the working group, formed by the OHR with the support of the Peace Implementation Council Steering Board, is to gather a set of expert opinions and information to assist the Parliamentary Assembly of BiH
in resolving the issue of state property. An acceptable and sustainable solution for the distribution of property between the state and other levels of government is the first goal of the 5+2 Agenda and an obligation of the Bosnian-Herzegovinian authorities, the fulfillment of which has been long awaited.
