Decree No. 5 of the State Committee on Land Resources, Geodesy and Cartography validating the Regulation on establishment and cessation of land servitude.

This Decree establishes that land servitude shall be established for passage through adjacent, and when necessary through another land plot, laying electric power lines, communication cable and pipelines, ensuring water supply and land reclamation, and also for other needs that cannot be ensured without the establishment of servitude. The establishment of servitude shall not entail the change of the purposeful use of land plot.

In case of lack of agreement between the person concerned and the landowners servitude shall be established by court decision. Servitude shall be established by the body of cadastral registration. The person concerned shall submit application to the body of cadastral registration containing the following documentation: (a) cadastral number and address of the dominant land plot and land plot subject to servitude; (b) personal data of the applicants; (c) the purpose of servitude; and (d) information of compensation if envisaged by the applicants. Servitude proceedings shall be completed within a month from the date of filing the application. Servitude shall be stopped by cancellation of record of state registration thereof in state cadastre register.
