Doprinos Mihaila Konstantinovića modernizaciji jugoslovenske privrede – stvaranje Spoljnotrgovinske arbitraže

Abstract

The Foreign Trade Court of Arbitration in Belgrade is one of the historic landmarks left behind by Mihailo Konstantinović. Professor Konstantinović was one of the main proponents of the establishment of this institution and he served as its first president. In that capacity he was in a position to steer the work of the FTCA so that it gained the trust of the business community as quickly as possible and became a reputable arbitral institution both in Yugoslavia and abroad. Records show that the Belgrade Court of Arbitration soon became a leading arbitral institution worldwide and its influence spread far beyond the Yugoslav market. The article presents and analyzes different methods and instruments that Professor Konstantinović used to develop the FTCA and shows how the successful establishment of this institution brought arbitration in Yugoslavia and Serbia into the modern era.
