AB  - The private forest owners in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia and Serbia are to a large extent not organised in interest organisations although their forests make up between 10% (Macedonia) and 52% (Serbia) of the total forest area. Private forest owners' interests are mainly in the hands of the public forest administration. This situation is not in accordance with democratic political systems. The paper investigates the preconditions for change by scrutinizing prevailing interest group theories by random surveys of private forest owners and in-depth interviews of forest policy decision-makers. As a result of the empirical research it has been found that, in spite of the large number of private forest owners, there are good chances for the formation of private forest owners' interest associations in all four countries, mainly because of the high critical mass of engaged private forest owners and the support of the majority of forest policy decision-makers.

AB  - The private forest owners in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia and Serbia are not organized in strong independent interest organizations, although their forest cover varies between 10% of the total area in Macedonia and 52% in Serbia. Private forest owners' interests are weakly represented in national forest policy and most of the power is still in the hands of the public forest administration. This situation does not comply with democratic political systems. The PRIFORT project tries to provide a better understanding of the characteristics of private forest owners in the region. Prevailing interest group theories are scrutinized by surveys of private forest owners and in-depth interviews of forest policy decision makers. The results indicate that although the number of private forest owners is large, there are good preconditions for creating independent private forest owners' interest associations (PFOAs). There is a clear demand of forest owners in an interest organization for services in sustainable forest management and better representation of their interests in national forest policy. Furthermore, many private forest owners in each country are prepared to engage themselves in the formation of independent interest groups. Finally, there is empirical evidence that the attitudes of forest policy makers have changed in favour of PFOAs in all four countries.
