The structure of Kosovo spatial plans are determined by Law on Spatial Planning no.2003/14 and its
respective administrative instructions. A Spatial plan is defined as a plan for regulation and use of
municipal territories within Kosovo.
Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning issued Kosovo Spatial Plan based on which all
municipalities are required to develop their respective Municipal Development Plans.
New approaches to spatial and strategic planning include more than simple rules on land use,
consequence of which is more integrated strategy for land development as well as a clear vision in
accordance with all integrated groups acting toward accomplishment of goals identified during the
visioning process. Active community participation, capacity building and increased awareness are
also important elements of the planning process.
The basic idea of development processes is to regulate existing situation and to harmonize it with the
planned activities.
