Milovanovich, Aksich ...
In 2009 Serbian lawmakers adopted the new Competition Law introducing a number of significant changes to the national competition law regime. However, the new as well as the old Law stayed in line with their EC counterparts. The new Competition Law comes as a result of a long-term public debate on the necessary amendments of the previous Serbian Competition Law and its solutions draw mostly from the experience of the Serbian Competition Commission (CC) under its predecessor. It reshapes a number of provisions and brings forward many new institutes such as dawn raids, structural and behavioral measures, sealing off business premise, the CC’s competence to issue fines directly, a new leniency regime, higher merger thresholds etc.
This paper outlines the structure of the new Serbian Competition Law, the most important novelties that have been introduced and their potential impact on future business activities in Serbia.
