Bertinoro initiative 1999

In 1999, the Bertinoro Initiative was directed towards Southeast Europe and was broadened to include the Cervia Land Tenure School as well as the 1999 Bertinoro Seminar.

The objective was to identify the institutional innovations and developments needed to ensure the peaceful enjoyment of property in the countries of the region and the roles to be played by land tenure experts in the private and public sectors. Participants from Southeast Europe and other transition countries came from Albania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Hungary, Moldova, Romania, the Russian Federation, Turkey, Ukraine and Yugoslavia. The meetings were enriched through the comparative experiences of participants from Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States.
