\"img_-317\"After organizing the well attended VI Belgrade Arbitration Conference, the University of Belgrade Faculty of Law had the honor of hosting the seventh annual Belgrade Open Pre-Moot practice rounds for the Willem C Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot on 5 and 6 April 2014. This year the Belgrade Open hosted more than 500 participants \u2013 students, coaches, arbitrators \u2013 and gathered the teams from 56 universities coming from 26 countries of the world: from North and South America, over Europe and Asia to Australia and Oceania. Like in previous years, the Belgrade Open attracted great interest of law schools worldwide. Consequently, the waiting list for the participation at the Pre-Moot was rather long. By the number of participants, the Belgrade Open Pre-Moot grew into the world\u2019s biggest pre-moot for the Willem C. Vis Moot.<\/p>\n

During the two days of pre-moot, more than 130 practice sessions took place in the seminar rooms of the Faculty and the offices of Karanovi\u0107\/Nikoli\u0107 law firm, Nikoli\u0107, Kokanovi\u0107, Ota\u0161evi\u0107 law firm and American Chamber of Commerce in Serbia.

The participants of the Pre-Moot had the opportunity to test the persuasiveness of their arguments before highly competent and renowned lawyers, arbitrators, judges, academics and other practitioners coming from all over the world. The success of the Belgrade Open Pre-Moot is further proven by the fact that this year one fourth of the teams that participated in Belgrade practice rounds qualified for the elimination rounds at the Moot in Vienna (top 64 universities), and two teams even made it to the quarterfinals.<\/p>\n

The sponsors of this event did their best to provide to the participants of the Belgrade Open Pre-Moot not only the practice sessions but also a rich social agenda. Thanks to their support a welcome cocktail has been organized in the Bona Fides Faculty Lounge (El Derecho). Additionally, the law firm Morav\u010devi\u0107, Vojnovi\u0107 and partners in cooperation with Schoenherr threw a big party for all the participants of the Pre-Moot in the KPGT theater close to the city\u2019s newest tourist attraction \u2013 the Ada Bridge. The opening of the Pre-moot was preceded by the cocktail for arbitrators held in the offices of Karanovi\u0107\/Nikoli\u0107 law firm.<\/p>\n

The organization of the seventh Belgrade Open Pre-Moot would not have been possible without the generous support of our co-organizers: German Institution of Arbitration (DIS), GIZ Open Regional Fund for South-East Europe, Serbian Arbitration Association and the law firms Karanovi\u0107-Nikoli\u0107, Morav\u010devi\u0107, Vojnovi\u0107 and partners in cooperation with Schoenherr, and Nikoli\u0107, Kokanovi\u0107 & Ota\u0161evi\u0107, as well as the American Chamber of Commerce in Serbia.<\/p>\n
