This third volume of the Balkan Yearbook of European and International Law (BYEIL) is devoted in particular to the specific legal challenges faced by Southeast European countries in the area of intellectual property law. The authors discuss a range of topics in Serbian and Bosnian and Herzegovinian copyright law, trademark and patent law, the relevance of which extends beyond their national borders.

The papers included in the permanent sections on European law and international law explore contemporary challenges in public and private law. These challenges concern various legal fields, including consumer law, commercial law, corporate and criminal law, and the corresponding papers tackle a number of fundamental theoretical issues, while also highlighting the latest developments in legal practice.

The fourth volume of the Balkan Yearbook of European and International Law (BYEIL) presents nine new articles offering scholarly insights into a variety of legal issues, with a special focus on the countries of Southeast Europe. All six articles in the special section reflect the authors’ efforts to untangle difficult questions concerning family property in private international law. Addressing a range of topics, leading national experts in the respective areas discuss Bosnian and Herzegovinian, Croatian, Greek, Lithuanian and Turkish law.

In turn, the general sections on European law and international law include three articles on diverse topics in private and public law, from a fresh take on the legal and practical effects of Brexit over EUTMs, and the legal nature of cryptocurrencies in different jurisdictions, to difficulties establishing the rule of law in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The fifth volume of the Balkan Yearbook of European and International Law (BYEIL) discusses diverse and actual legal topics of international and comparative dimensions and angles.

The BYEIL 2023 focuses on the special topic of Human Rights at Multiple Levels and contributes to the extensively researched field characterised by emerging trends, with the authors providing a deeper and more concise understanding of human rights-related issues. Discussions surrounding indivisibility, interdependence, universalism versus cultural relativism inevitably led to exploring human rights at various levels.

The two permanent sections on European Law and International Law deal with recent developments in these highly dynamic and developing areas. They serve as a forum for scholarly discourse on these topics from the South-East European perspective.

The special section of the BYEIL 2024 is devoted to the topic: Sustainability and Law. The special topic aims to contribute to the research field with emerging trends by providing a deeper and more compact understanding of the interplay between law and sustainable goals. The UN adopted the 2030 Agenda that embodied sustainable consumption and production patterns as one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). SDG 16 is directly related to law and includes peace, inclusive societies, access to justice and effective and accountable institutions. The authors made contributions to the various fields related to various SGDs providing insights into the ways in which these goals may inform policymaking, regulatory frameworks and judicial practice.
