Gecic Law, working with sole practitioner Branko Radojcic, has successfully represented Telekom Srbija before the Commission for Protection of Competition in North Macedonia.

According to Gecic Law, the commission has "delivered a decision, concluding that Telekom Srbija did not abuse a dominant market position. The commission’s decision confirms that there was no violation of competition laws and that no dominant position was established. This outcome effectively dismisses the allegations of Total TV, a member of United Group, which initiated the case."

Gecic Law reports that the legal proceedings spanned nearly six years: "The process began in December 2018, when Total TV filed a complaint with the Commission in December 2018. They alleged that Telekom had abused a dominant position in the relevant market. They also claimed that the distribution agreement between Telekom and Radio-Television of Serbia constituted a restrictive agreement. Total TV specifically claimed that Telekom had engaged in unjustified price discrimination. This allegation related to the distribution of RTS TV channels in the Republic of North Macedonia across different platforms (DTH, cable, and IPTV)."

In 2023, Gecic Law advised Telekom Srbija on a scholarship MoU with the College of Europe (as reported by CEE Legal Matters on December 8, 2023) and successfully represented MTS in a telecommunications dispute in Kosovo (as reported by CEE Legal Matters on September 29, 2023).

The Gecic Law team included Partner Bogdan Gecic, Senior Associate Vuk Lekovic, and Associate Vasilije Boskovic.
