The objective of this Law is giving in ownership agricultural lands, forests, pastures and meadows (art. 1). In the implementation of this Law are included all the lands within the Republic of Albania out of the border lines, which are treated as agricultural lands according to Law No. 7501 of 19 July 1991, on the Land, independently of their origin. Pastures, meadows, forests and forest lands which are certified with official documents as having been private property are returned to the ex-owners and their legal heirs according to the cadastral statement of 1 August 1991. When the pastures, meadows, forests and forest lands are included within the protecting lines of the zones with priority on development of tourism, they remain State property and will be used only for compensation, excluding the cases when projects are approved for the development of tourism by a decision of the Council of Ministers.
