We are pleased to present the Southeast Europe Dispute Resolution Handbook 2026, an updated regional guide providing a comprehensive overview of dispute resolution frameworks across 12 Southeast European jurisdictions.

Prepared by our Dispute Resolution Practice Group, the Handbook covers litigation, arbitration, mediation, and the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments and arbitral awards, offering practical insights into the legal and procedural landscape of each jurisdiction.
Building on the earlier edition published in 2021, this updated edition reflects important legislative, procedural and institutional developments across the region and serves as a valuable resource for businesses, investors, in-house counsel and dispute resolution practitioners involved in cross-border activities in Southeast Europe.
The publication brings together the expertise of dispute resolution specialists from across the SEE Legal network, combining local knowledge with a regional perspective to provide a practical and reliable comparative reference.
