ABSTRACT

Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia are post-war and post-socialist countries having partly common history and problems regarding land tenure and land consolidation, but, due to the different recent development, they are tackling detected problems in different manner. Internal problems regarding land ownership, privatization and corruption, together with negative consequences of globalization and economic crisis resulted in the downfall of land usage for food production having visible impact on prosperity of the nations. The expansion of farming area represents therefore one of the priorities for both countries. Without well kept and well managed land registers, and without the development of efficient land tenure mechanisms, the mentioned problems can hardly be solved, hence, both countries are paying great attention to solving these problems.

Bosnia and Herzegovina fighting with the reducing size of uncultivated land, initiated the land consolidation activities on pilot locations in Orašje, Ravno and Trebinje after twenty years. Croatia has focused its activities on dealing with the issues related to the registration of state-owned agricultural land and on developing the efficient system for land tenure. For this purpose, different kinds of projects related to land registration, land consolidation, and finally the State agricultural land IT system establishment project have been executed.

In this paper, an overview of the executed activities, the achieved results and detected problems is given indicating also further activities.

KEYWORDS
