Bogdan Gecić, Founding Partner at Gecić Law, was featured in eKapija for his insights on the immanent and profound transformation in both environmental and international trade regimes, propelled by the European Union’s groundbreaking Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) regulation. As the CBAM comes into effect on October 1, 2023, Bogdan’s insights are detailed in an article titled “The Revolutionary New EU Carbon Import Tariff: What Do You Need to Know?”
