War-time conditions, the increasing scale of reconstruction efforts, and the mobilization of international funding are heightening the demands for transparency and accountability in public procurement. At the same time, the number of risks is also growing—for both contracting authorities and bidders. In the third session of the Second Conference on “Legal Aspects of Public Procurement,” we will focus on key issues of compliance, liability, and dispute resolution practices.
