The silvicultural issues in sessile oak (Quercus petraea) forests within the Trstenik Sume in the area of the FE Rasina Krusevac (Serbia) are presented. The research is carried out in the stands at the altitude of 385 m, on the slope of 20-25 degrees, and south-southeast exposure. Based on the ecological-vegetation research, the stand is typologically defined as: Forest of sessile oak with oriental hornbeam (Quercetum montanum carpinetosum orientalis) on brownised dystric ranker. The stand is of coppice origin, aged about 60 years, of broken conopy. The underwood layer consists of oriental hornbeam (Carpinus orientalis). The analysis of the stand and health condition shows that it is a good-quality coppice stand on a good site which, by the conversion of silvicultural form, should be converted into a high good-quality forest of sessile oak, which is the final silvicultural goal. The stand should be tended till the end of the rotation, and then by regeneration cutting it should be regenerated by seeding. To this purpose, 160 future trees per ha were selected in the stand, which is 225 per tree number and 31% per the volume of the proposed silvicultural measure.
