Our partner Mrs. Angelina Mileva introduced the audience with topics from the Law on Protection of Competition. She spoke about the forms of unfair competition and the essence of protection against unfair competition. Furthermore, within a discussion with the audience, she explained to the participants how, by carrying out their business activities, they could enter into a breach of bona fide commercial practice or harm the interests of competitors and to be subject to unfair competition themselves.
