The task of this Working Group will be to discuss expert legal analysis on various aspects pertaining to the apportionment of property between the State and other levels of government.
The first working session as part of the technical consultation process took place today in Sarajevo. The Working Group, composed of distinguished local and international legal experts, will hold regular working sessions during which its members will assess various technical and legal aspects of ownership, use, and management of state property, and analyze different models of the property management, including international examples.
