A piece authored by Ivan Gazdić and Igor Đorđević, attorneys-at-law from CMS, was one of the most popular articles. They wrote about the provisions for force majeure against the backdrop of the impact of COVID-19 on renewable energy projects. Our interview with Bojan Bogdanović from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development was among the top articles, too.
