    Montenegro Adopts Controversial Renewable Energy Law Favoring Investors

    Montenegro's Parliament adopted amendments and supplements to the Law on the Use of Energy from Renewable Sources, criticized by the 'Spasimo Brezna' Civic Initiative as favoring large energy investors over citizens. The law opens doors to investors while leaving citizens to defend themselves against their own state, lacks protective mechanisms for ecology, protected areas, and private property, and could lead to expropriation for private energy companies' benefit. The initiative warns that the government deceived the public by claiming the law was an obligation towards the Energy Community.

    Laos Bans Foreign Use of 'Individual Businesses', Cracks Down on Proxy Holding

    Laos has issued strict regulations against foreign investors using 'individual businesses' and proxy holding. The Department of Industry and Trade in several provinces, including South Talae, Xieng Khouang, and Savannakhet, has issued red-headed documents (Nos. 2148, 2149, 2150, 2168) banning these practices. A total of 122 enterprises have had their business licenses seized. This move seems to target Chinese people and aims to prevent practices like 'just hanging a sign', 'using someone else's license', or 'inflating registered capital'.
