A large area under the beech coppice stands, aged about 70 years, in southern Serbia is a major technical challenge for their successful transformation into a high beech stands. The goal of management is more fully use the potential habitat and improve environmental conditions. This paper provides recommendations for carrying out silvicultural treatments in beech coppice stands in their interpretation of beech stands high in the mountains Kukavica, near Leskovac. In this area there is also explored in detail a sample surface, measuring 20 x 25 m. Tree taxation elements were measured for all trees and made dendrometric analysis of diameter and height of the thickest trees. Data were collected on the environmental conditions of habitat. Also, all the trees is biologically determined position, the quality of the crown, stem quality and health. Given the large number of trees per hectare, and the obtained results it was proposed high-performance selective thinning operations to the strength of 26.35% by volume.
