Abstract

Ownership acquisition has been one of the biggest problems to deal with within Kosovan society since the early times, especially in the post-war period. Not to mention that people were killed by each other on this topic. Laws and canons in years have tried to bring solutions to these cases. Some of the manias considered in these canons and laws were possible through exchanges, usurpation, and inheritances by which the ownership (Merriam-Webster, n.d.) was gained in generations. Therefore, knowing all of this, this paper aims to bring information on how the property was and continues to be acquired in Kosovo and the problems people have to deal with during this process. To reach our aims we used these methods: research method, historical and descriptive methods. The main findings of this paper identified and explained the challenges of ownership acquisition by good faith and clarified when one can be the owner of an immovable property. The relevance of this paper stands on the information given about this topic to the readers and also on the new research studies that will be done in the future.
