Gecić Law is proud to announce another contribution to the 2025 edition of the Chambers Global Practice Guides. Our partner Miodrag Jevtić authored the Bosnia and Herzegovina chapter of the International Arbitration: Trends & Developments section. He provided key insights into the country’s arbitration framework, covering both domestic institutions and Bosnia and Herzegovina’s growing role in investor-state disputes.
International arbitration in Bosnia and Herzegovina continues to develop, shaped by both domestic reforms and regional integration efforts. Arbitration is steadily gaining recognition as a reliable alternative. The environment remains shaped by a fragmented legal framework and limited use of local arbitral institutions. Recent reforms aim to modernize procedures and increase international confidence.
At the same time, Bosnia and Herzegovina has seen a wave of investor-state disputes, particularly in the energy and infrastructure sectors. These high-value cases, while costly, are also building legal capacity and highlighting the urgent need for legislative and institutional reform.
Arbitration is expected to expand significantly in the coming years. Key drivers include EU integration, which will align local arbitration laws more closely with international standards; institutional reforms, as local arbitration centers gain traction and improve their capacity to handle complex disputes, and foreign investment growth, particularly in renewable energy, transport, and infrastructure, which will likely generate a wave of new arbitration cases.
However, challenges remain. These include limited local expertise in handling highly technical disputes and the need for further judicial training to ensure consistent enforcement of arbitral awards.
“We are honored to contribute to Chambers Global Guide’s International Arbitration 2025,” said Miodrag Jevtić, Partner at Gecić Law. “Our team’s insights reflect our commitment to helping clients navigate the complexities of arbitration in Southeast Europe and providing clear strategies to manage cross-border disputes effectively.”
