On December 11, 2025, Slobodan J. Doklestić and Marko Repic, Senior Partners at the renowned Serbian law firm Doklestic Repic & Gajin z.a.k., visited the Beijing Headquarters of Zhonglun W&D Law Firm for an in-depth professional exchange.

Attorneys Zhonghua Zhu, Pengli Zhao, and Huishan Pei, Partners at the Beijing Headquarters, received the two senior partners from Doklestic Repic & Gajin z.a.k. on behalf of Zhonglun W&D Law Firm. The two sides held extensive legal exchanges on Serbia’s investment and business environment, preferential policies for foreign investment, outbound investments by Chinese enterprises, as well as company incorporation, mergers and acquisitions. Both sides shared their respective expertise and hands-on experience in assisting Chinese companies with local incorporation, infrastructure development, and strategic investment optimization in Serbia.

As a vital strategic hub in Central and Eastern Europe, Serbia has established a comprehensive strategic partnership with China and continues to deepen economic ties and project collaboration under the Belt and Road Initiative. In recent years, direct investment by Chinese enterprises in Serbia has steadily expanded across sectors such as infrastructure, manufacturing, and energy, which has grown into a major driving force for bilateral economic and trade cooperation. The hands-on experience gained by Chinese investors operating locally and delivering major engineering projects will offer valuable insights for more domestic enterprises seeking to explore Southeast Europe and the wider EU market.

Both sides agreed that sound professional legal expertise and a high-quality legal service system are essential to boost mutual trust and the practical roll-out of cross-border investments amid global economic restructuring and evolving geopolitical dynamics. This exchange not only deepened mutual understanding between the two firms but also laid a solid foundation of mutual trust for future collaboration in legal services for cross-border investment, corporate compliance frameworks, and international trade dispute resolution.

Zhonglun W&D Law Firm will continue to uphold its open and forward-looking professional values, maintain regular exchanges and collaboration with leading international law firms. In doing so, our firm aims to deliver more comprehensive and tailored legal services for Chinese enterprises going global, facilitating their steady and sustainable growth in the global market.
