Nada Zekovic -

In 2018, she represented a consortium of civil watchdogs challenging the legality of a €120 million highway construction tender. Her team uncovered procedural violations in the bidding process, arguing that the state commission had ignored conflict-of-interest declarations. Despite immense political pressure, Zekovic secured a court ruling annulling the contract.

Her current project involves the legal ramifications of environmental protests in Eastern Serbia. She argues that the right to a healthy environment, while not yet a constitutional right in Serbia, can be enforced through existing property and tort law. In an era where cynicism towards the judiciary runs high in the Balkans, Nada Zekovic represents the ideal of the pravnik (legal expert) as a moral compass. Her career demonstrates that technical legal expertise, when combined with ethical courage, can change institutional behavior. nada zekovic
