Associate At Law

Vojvodina Bar Association

Member of the Executive Committee of the Apprentices at Law

Attorney at law from Serbia oriented towards businesses, their needs, and requirements. I provide cutting-edge legal advice to local and international clients as a:

•	Corporate Law Attorney - company formation in Serbia is just the beginning of our services. As a corporate law attorney in Serbia, I advise you in orchestrating vesting/ESOP in Serbia, drafting and negotiating share purchase agreements, i.e. buying and selling shares in the company, conducting legal due diligence on the target company, drafting shareholders’ agreement, thereby regulating relationship within the company, etc.

•	Tax Advisor - Tax advisory from a legal standpoint, i.e. tax law, is crucial in Serbia, especially for a foreign investor. Advising with respect to double taxation avoidance treaties and tax incentives in Serbia (for instance IP Box and incentives for R&D) is aimed at helping clients avoid paying taxes that they do not have to pay.

•	IT Law Attorney - Serbia evolved into an IT hub for developing new software. Drafting contracts in the IT law sphere includes a contract of commissioning a work of authorship (hiring an external contractor to code), labour agreement with specific clauses immanent in the IT industry, and software licensing agreements, for instance - different types of SaaS, end-user license agreement(EULA), etc.), terms of use and other documents.

•	Digital Assets Lawyer - Serbia is one of the few countries to have adopted the Law on Digital Assets, thereby regulating ICOs, permits (licenses) for service providers - VASPs - as well KYC/AML regulation related to these activities.

My story:

During my career, I had an opportunity to participate in the full range of legal services. Still, most importantly, I got an opportunity to help people exercise their legitimate rights and assist entrepreneurs in navigating their businesses and making their dream come true.

After my international education and practice, it was time to start the law office. So I started with Why. And composed core values reflecting who we are.

Volim da kažem preduzetnicima koji pružaju usluge, pogotovo onima koji imaju puno sitnih potraživanja za koje im se ne isplate da pokreću parnice, da koriste menice u ugovornim odnosima.

Evo npr. u praksi često viđam transportere za veće firme koji se muče da naplate svoju uslugu - prevoz, dnevnicu za vozača, refundaciju goriva, i sve ostalo - jer ih firme razvlače po 40-90 dana za isplatu (a neretko isplate ni ne bude).

Bukvalno, bude ono klasično: "Samo još par dana…poslao sam knjogovođi, u proceduri je…e, šaljemo uskoro, izvini, nešto je iskrslo…”, a oni su već isporučili sve što su imali da isporuče.

E, pa menica, recimo, tu neretko izvuče situaciju.

Klijent lepo na početku saradnje potpiše menicu, primera radi, na 300.000 RSD kao "kreditni limit", i taj novac naplaćujete od njega prinudnim putem SAMO u slučaju kašnjenja u isplati, jer vam menica služi kao neki sigurnosni mehanizam.

Nema dvomesečnog dopisivanja, 5 opomena, back-and-forth "je l' ti stigla faktura/legla uplata" poruka, pravdanja i najvažnije od svega, nema 20 sporova mesečno oko svake uplate, sa svakim partnerom.

Kod menice je naplata ubrzana, pa čak i kad dužnik uloži prigovor, postupak ide dalje. Isto tako, iz nekog našeg iskustva, ljudi su skloniji da uplate svoj dug kada znaju da imate u rukama nešto što se brzo sprovodi. 

Prosto, menica vas stavlja u kategoriju "ne isplati se da te zavlačim".

Jedino što treba voditi dobrog računa prilikom potpisivanja menice i meničnog ovlašenja, i imati u vidu sve specifičnosti sudskog postupka prinudne naplate menice, jer ima tu podosta nekih začkoljica, ali...

Srećom smo se pobrinuli i za to, i detaljno opisali celi postupak na jednom od naših blogova na sajtu. U komentaru je link, pa možete baciti pogled, a ako imate još nekih pitanja - pucajte, što se kaže.

律师 Corporate & Tax Law | IT Law | Digital Assets Lawyer (Crypto, Tokens & Blockchain) |💡I advise entrepreneurs to navigate their enterprise in the challenging Serbian market with a goal to create a sustainable business.

Drago mi je što u Srbiji imamo priliku da prisustvujemo događajima kao što je Data Science Conference, koji su fokusirani na najnovije tehnološke trendove u svetu.

Meni su lično, kao advokatu, značile mnoge stvari koje sam čuo od stručnjaka iz oblasti veštačke inteligencije i Data Science, a koje su na intersekciji pravne profesije. A da ne spominjem, tek, sa koliko sam se samo ljudi uspeo umrežiti, ostvariti nove kontakte, razmeniti ideje i štogod još.

Nadam se da će u budućnosti ovakvih konferencija biti samo još više, a organizatorima i svim učesnicima čestitam što su postavili pravi primer kako treba da se razvijamo i napredujemo zajedno.

Ako vodite biznis u Srbiji, ali poslujete sa inostranstvom, obavezno osigurajte/proverite ove 3 stvari u svojim međunarodnim ugovorima ⬇️ 

1️⃣ Definicije.

Primetio sam da veliki broj preduzetnika preuzima obrasce međunarodnih ugovora sa interneta, u njima pronađe sekciju "definicije", a onda odluče da tu sekciju izostave.

A odluče jer im deluje glupavo da definišu termine iz ugovora ili ne znaju ni koje termine da definišu. I šta se onda desi?

Pa desi se to da naizgled jednostavne reči imaju potpuno različito značenje u različitim pravnim sistemima, što zvuči banalno dok ne dođe do spora.

Recimo, u mnogim međunarodnim ugovorima naćiće se termin "force majeure", odnosno viša sila. Znate već šta je viša sila - rat, zemljotres, poplava, itd. itd.

Ali evo jedne zanimljivosti: U nekim pravnim sistemima se npr. i štrajk smatra višom silom, dok se u drugima ne smatra.

I šta se onda dešava ako taj pojam niste precizno definisali u ugovoru?
Dešava se to da svaka strana tumači ugovor po svom.

Jedna strana smatra da je štrajk u fabrici oslobađa obaveze jer “viša sila, logično”, dok drugastrana tvrdi da štrajk nije viša sila, jer se, po njihovom pravu, to moglo predvideti i sprečiti.

Rezultat: Prva strana misli da nije dužna da isporuči robu, a druga misli da ugovorna obaveza ipak postoji i zahteva penale. Sve zato što je neko obrisao “one besmislene definicije” iz templejta.
 
2️⃣ Koji zakon se primenjuje u slučaju spora (i gde se spor rešava).

Ovo je možda i najvažnija odredba. Kad se desi spor, da li važi zakon Srbije, zemlje partnera, ili neutralne međunarodne jurisdikcije?

Ako ugovor to ne precizira, svaka strana će insistirati na svom zakonu i time blokirati rešavanje spora. A mogao je biti rešen, pa možda i sprečen, da je ugovor bio pametno sastavljen od starta.

3️⃣ Usklađenost sa poreskim propisima i međunarodnim pravilima.

Kod pružanja usluga, licenci, ili ugovora koji se tiču intelektualne svojine, uvek je neophodno proveriti usklađenost odredbi ugovora sa poreskim zakonima obe zemlje i važećim međunarodnim ugovorima o izbegavanju dvostrukog oporezivanja.

U suprotnom, možete lako doći u situaciju koju sam video malih milion puta da plaćate dupli porez i godinama se ubeđujete sa poreskom kako to niste dužni da radite, a jeste. Samo niste proverili.

(Ili ste proverili tako što ste pitali ChatGpt, koji je odlučio da ishalucinira zakonodavstvo jedne zemlje, po sto i koji put).

Naravno, još milion začkoljica ima u međunarodnim ugovorima, ali ovo je solidan početak. Nadam se da će vam koristiti, a siguran sam da hoće ako odmah uzmete svoje međunarodne ugovore i proverite stavke na koje sam vam skrenuo pažnju.
