The second volume of the Balkan Yearbook of European and International Law (BYEIL) focuses on the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG), which was signed 40 years ago. The contributions analyse a broad range of aspects and reflect the latest developments; those in the permanent sections on European Law and International Law explore contemporary challenges in public and private law disciplines, offering fresh new perspectives on established concepts.
