REVIEW OF THE ARTICLE ON “NEED TO IMPROVE SERBIAN INSURANCE REGULATORY FRAMEWORK BY ADOPTING INSURANCE CONTRACT LAW”

An article by Nataša Petrović Tomić, Associate Professor at the Law Faculty of the University of Belgrade, was published under the above title and categorized by the editor as a scientific paper, in the issue 2/2018 of the “Insurance Trends Journal” (pp. 7-18). The article outlined and partially analysed the proposal / initiative / idea for adoption of a Special Insurance Contract Law of the Republic of Serbia. According to this idea, the inland insurance contract would be excluded from the Preliminary Draft of the Civil Code of the RS, which was completed by the Commission for drafting the Civil Code of the RS of the Government of RS and, instead, standardized under the mentioned Special Law. When presenting and elaborating on the subject idea and/or other proposals/initiatives/ideas concerning the regulation of the insurance contract under the Insurance Contract Law, the author failed to mention that her proposals/initiatives/ideas presented in the Article were not new and original, but have already been written of in the respectable literature published before this Article, supported by arguments and that those proposals/initiatives/ideas she was presenting were not the only possible and justified ones but that there were other, better and more suitable solutions for improving the regulatory framework through which the reform of the insurance contract in Serbia is to be implemented into the Serbian insurance law. The named Article also contains the incorrect and inaccurate statements and allegations that I cannot agree with, since they are doubtful.
