In the course of their preparations for this year’s XXVI annual Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot, the students of the University of Belgrade Faculty of Law took part at the pre-moot competition in Milan which took place on 7 and 8 March 2019.

The Milan Pre-Moot (the AIA-CAM Pre-Moot) was organized by the Associazione Italiana per l’Arbitrato and the Milan Chamber of Arbitration and gathered 18 participating teams from nine different countries. During two days of competition, our students had seven oral arguments with the students from Italy (Bocconi University, University of Milan, Roma Tre University), Finland (Helsinki University), Germany (Passau University, Mainz University) and France (Sciences Po Law School). The next stage of preparation of our students will be the international pre-moot in Munich.
