This paper will address the topic o
f
servitudes with special emphasis on property servitudes,
always based on the provisions of positive law in the Republic of Kosovo.
S
ince Roman law, the right of ownership over foreign property was unclear especially when
i
t came to servitudes.
I
n Roman law there was not a general category regulated by general
norms, but a set of typical gures of servitudes with common characteristics Despite what was
d
iscussed in Roman law we can say that in all legal systems, there is necessarily a need
f
or the
e
xistence of sub
j
ective real ri
g
hts over one's own thin
g
and over a forei
g
n thin
g
.
I
n
g
eneral,
i
n addition to the property right, there is the fact that there are other legal property rights,
and a er the property right, the right of servitude, otherwise called as a property right over
t
he forei
g
n thin
g
, is considered the most dominant. This ri
g
ht of the sub
j
ect over the forei
g
n
t
hin
g
exists when the holder uses the forei
g
n thin
g
for his own needs or his own thin
g
, in
fact the thing which is owned by another subject. The purpose of this paper is to clarify how
t
he right of servitude is legally de ned by concretizing it in property servitudes. The paper’s
content is related to the right of property servitudes, which speaks extensively about how the
r
ight created by legal work, court decision or even by law, is created, acquired, protected and
e
xtin
g
uished
!
K
e
y
words:
T
he right of servitude, property servitudes, creation-acquisition of servitude,
protection of servitude, termination of servitude.

of

I

p
rinci

f
the right o

servitude has authorizations to use the

oreign

p
resentation o
f
the right o
f
servitude in
t
heor
y
there are o
p
inions that the right o
f
servitude is an original right, which is as

The literature states that, "the right o
f
servitude is a real right over a
f
oreign thing,
b
ased on which, the authorized
p
erson is allowed a certain use o
f
a
