Abstract

This paper provides a short review and analysis of the stipulations of the Law on the Protection of Competition of the Republic of Serbia concerning the competencies of the Commission for Protection of Competition in the field of advocacy, and gives an overview of several examples from the Commission’s practice. The paper examines the definition of competition advocacy and the significance of advocacy in Serbia and other developing and transition countries, as well as certain prerequisites for effective advocacy by a competition authority. Additionally, the article considers the Serbian legal framework for competition advocacy, focusing on the most successful examples and highlighting Serbia’s experience and some realised cases of advocacy initiatives. The article is organised into several parts in order to include a large number of activities that could be classified as forms of competition advocacy (giving opinions, cooperation with other state authorities, i.e. independent sector regulators, the use of market studies, etc.). In conclusion, the final remarks and recommendations for the Serbian Commission and policy makers are included, considering the importance of competition advocacy in developing and transition countries, such as Serbia.
