A significant issue in Serbia’s forestry was researched – the representation and the status of artificially established stands of Austrian pine and Scots pine in Serbia, covering the area of 86,000 ha. The paper describes the environmental conditions in which pine plantations were established, the sites where they were established, planting density, etc. Based on these facts and their current stand condition, the paper points to the obligation and significance of thinning in artificially established pine stands and on felling volume and the potential income realised by the necessary silvicultural measures. Pine plantations were established in Serbia in different site conditions, starting from the oak belt to the spruce region. Planting density differed from dense planting with 10,000 seedlings per ha, to at least 2,500 seedlings per ha. The greatest part of these artificially established pine stands is currently in the development phase, when thinning should be applied as tending measures. The large-scale research carried out in the past forty years points to the conclusions regarding the choice of the optimal silvicultural felling.
