Summary:

This book provides a comprehensive analysis of competition law and policy in the Western Balkans by assembling and examining reports from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Serbia. It explores the evolution of competition law and policy in these jurisdictions and assesses the extent to which their domestic legislation aligns with the EU competition acquis. Our research takes a bottom-up approach, focusing on the unique challenges faced by each jurisdiction within the context of their respective legal traditions. The volume includes institutional and enforcement empirical data collected and analyzed for the period 2012-2022, offering original insights into the development of competition law systems in these countries. The book addresses a range of issues, including the historical development of competition law and policy in the Western Balkans countries; their institutional and legislative frameworks; the peculiarities of the national competition law systems that significantly differ from the EU acquis; the features that have been amended in the process of European integration; the application of domestic and EU competition rules by national competition authorities; enforcement and sanctioning statistics; judicial review; private enforcement of competition rules, and future challenges. This edited volume provides an authoritative and rigorous overview of competition law and policy in the Western Balkans, making it of interest to academics, students, and practitioners in the field of competition law.
