periods taken into study, starting from the first Forest Law from 1923 to the latest one from 2005 as
amended in 2007 has been achieved. The review helped in identifying the general content of forest
laws which were approved in the respective years and provided useful information on the content and
issues the forest laws have regulated. It’s evident that not all the forest laws have had the same
content. Considerable differences have occurred which were conditioned by a lot of factors, socioeconomic
and political ones. Table 1 provides an overview on the main objectives the forest laws have
had, the trend the forestry sector had in the King Zogu I, the communism period and the pluralism
period until 2007. Not all the Albanian forest laws had in their framework well set objectives, a
characteristic that becomes a trend in the laws after 1990.
