BDK Advokati’s partner Bisera Andrijašević and associate Marija Ksenija Popović authored the Montenegro chapter in the newly published Chambers Merger Control 2025 Global Practice Guide. This year’s Guide features close to 40 jurisdictions, with Jean Francois Bellis and Porter Elliott from Van Bael & Bellis acting as Contributing Editors.
The Law and Practice section of the Guide provides a comprehensive overview of Montenegro’s merger control framework, covering key aspects such as applicable legislation, enforcement authorities, notification requirements, authority’s approach to foreign-to-foreign transactions, joint ventures, third-party rights, confidentiality, cross-border cooperation, appeals, judicial review, and the authorities’ current competition concerns.
In the Trends and Developments article, Bisera Andrijašević discussed recent legal developments in Montenegro’s competition law, with the focus on the anticipated amendments to the Competition Act, which are expected to reshape not only the enforcement of merger control, but also the antitrust enforcement. She addressed critical issues such as the absence of a local nexus test in foreign-to-foreign transactions, uncertain timeframes for merger clearance, and challenges in enforcing competition rules against local companies for the actions of their foreign affiliates.
