Concession projects in Bosnia and Herzegovina, particularly in the energy, mining and infrastructure sectors, are often perceived by investors primarily as regulatory or financing ventures. However, one of the most significant challenges to their successful implementation may arise at an earlier stage — securing the land rights necessary to carry out the concession activity.
As highlighted by Đorđe Dimitrijević, from Dimitrijević & Partners, the acquisition of land rights can represent a complex and critical aspect of concession projects in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Understanding the applicable legal framework and addressing land acquisition issues at an early stage can therefore be essential for investors seeking to successfully structure and implement concession projects in the country.
