PRIVATE LAW AND ITS ROLE IN THE ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL LIFE OF INDIVIDUALS

This paper examines the role and importance of private law in the economic and financial life of individuals, with particular emphasis on its development and application in Kosovo and in a comparative international context. Private law, as one of the fundamental branches of the legal system, regulates legal relationships between individuals and legal entities, including property rights, contractual obligations, and other financial interactions that are essential for the functioning of modern society. The study focuses on the main branches of private law, especially civil law, as the core component of regulating private legal relations. It also addresses the challenges faced by the legal system of Kosovo, particularly the absence of a comprehensive Civil Code, which continues to be an important issue for legal development and legal certainty. Furthermore, the paper analyzes the process of harmonization of Kosovo’s legislation with that of the European Union, as well as the role of private international law in resolving disputes involving foreign elements. The findings highlight the importance of private law in ensuring legal certainty, economic stability, and effective regulation of legal and financial relations in both domestic and international contexts
