With the enlargement of the European Union, international business is faced with a diverse scope of cultures, languages, business climates and legal systems. Hence, international arbitration is becoming the dispute resolution mechanism of choice. Like any economic decisions, the proper planning of dispute resolution depends largely on the costs involved.

This publication serves as a comprehensive handbook as to how costs in international arbitration are considered in the CEE and SEE regions, and as an up-to-date reference of the relevant statutes and leading institutional rules in these regions. This handbook is intended for legal practitioners and academics representing businesses or working in the CEE/SEE region.
