Kyrgyz Republic Legal
Information and Investment Opportunities

Maps of Kyrgyz Republic

LIBERTAS has compiled a website part on Kyrgyzstan, including many English language legal texts, as well as other papers. This website is enlarged permanently. Please take note that all texts are in English, but LIBERTAS relies on a large scale on unofficial translations from Kyrgyz and Russian and therefore can give no guarantee neither on the translations nor on the up to date character of the contents.

In the legal parts some laws are in multiple reproduction as they may concern several folders. Otherwise, the legal texts follow in general alphabetical order.

If you have any more questions or useful hints concerning links please mail to: kyrgyzstan@libertas-institut.com
