The norms of this Law are applicable, if it has not been specified otherwise in the Law on Completion of State and Local Government Property Privatisation and Utilisation of Privatisation Certificates. The free land under jurisdiction of the State which has not been requested until 1 June 2006 shall be used for the completion of the land reform. The information on the land intended for completion of the land reform shall be compiled and published by the State Land Service by placing it on a website. The redemption price of land shall be determined in conformity with the cadastral value of the land, applying the deduction of payment specified in laws and regulations, but the payment for a forest stand shall be determined in conformity with the data of forest management and in accordance with the assessment procedures of the forest stand specified by the Cabinet. Natural persons who corroborate the ownership rights to land in the Land Register in accordance with the procedures specified in this Law shall be exempted from the State fee for the corroboration of ownership rights in the Land Register.
