March 2009

The Faculty of Law organized several international events dedicated to commercial arbitration

In March 2009 the University of Belgrade Faculty of Law hosted several important events dedicated to international commercial arbitration. The first of them was the promotion of the book “Arbitration and ADR” by Professors Gašo Knežević and Vladimir Pavić. The promotion took place in the beginning of March and it represented an excellent introduction to the events that were yet to come. From 27 to 29 March our Faculty hosted the “Belgrade Arbitration Conference”, as well as the Regional Round Table dedicated to the international trade law. At the same time, our Faculty organized the “Belgrade Open Pre-Moot”, the students’ moot competition intended as preparation for the Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot, which is one of the world’s largest and most prestigious moot-court competitions held annually in Vienna. All these events gathered a great number of domestic and foreign participants, including some of the world’s most distinguished experts in the field of international commercial arbitration and international trade law. Such a large attendance and the high quality of the presented papers which discussed some of the most challenging topics, when combined with the impeccable organization, helped the University of Belgrade Faculty of Law to establish itself as one of the leading centers for international commercial arbitration and international trade law in the region.
