Abstract: The purpose of this paper is the detailed analysis of the legislation of the Republic of Kosovo
regulating the rights of women in property and inheritance so that the citizens of Kosovo as well as the
citizens of other countries are better acquainted with t he legislation of Kosovo by which these rights
are regulated. To work on this paper, we have used study methods by which we have analysed in detail
the laws of the Republic of Kosovo in order to find and analyse the laws and provisions relating to the
rights of women in property and inheritance, and also to analyse their way of regulating them. From the
analysis of Kosovo’s laws we have come to the conclusion that the laws of the Republic of Kosovo

Keywords: Customary norms; international legal acts; national legal acts; the principle of equality
