Energy and Infrastructure Law in Serbia and Montenegro
Energy and infrastructure development is one of the most active areas of legal work in Serbia and Montenegro. Both countries are investing in infrastructure modernisation, renewable energy capacity, and the broader energy transition, driven by EU accession commitments, international development financing, and growing private sector participation in energy markets. The legal framework governing energy projects and infrastructure development in both jurisdictions is detailed and continues to evolve. For developers, investors, lenders, and public institutions involved in these projects, working with experience legal counsel is essential.
Renewable Energy and Project Development
We advise clients on energy and infrastructure projects across Serbia and Montenegro, from early-stage regulatory and permitting advice through to project structuring, development agreements, and construction contracts. Our work in the renewable energy sector covers solar, wind, and hydropower projects. We help developers and investors understand and navigate the applicable licensing and regulatory frameworks in both jurisdictions.
Project Finance and Infrastructure Transactions
Many significant energy and infrastructure projects in the region are financed through project finance structures involving international institutional investors, commercial lenders, and equity investors. We advise lenders, sponsors, and developers on the legal aspects of project financing in Serbia and Montenegro. Our broader transactional practice across banking and finance, corporate M&A, and public procurement allows us to provide integrated legal support across the multiple workstreams that complex infrastructure transactions typically involve.
Public-Private Partnerships and Concessions
Public-private partnerships and concession arrangements are an established mechanism for infrastructure delivery in both Serbia and Montenegro. We advise public authorities and private sector participants on the structuring, negotiation, and documentation of PPP arrangements and concessions, as well as on the public procurement frameworks that govern their award.
