momentum drives the shift toward sustainable energy and infrastructure, the Perth office of global law firm Norton Rose Fulbright leads the charge helping clients navigate current challenges and uncertainties With a strong international presence and deep expertise in the evolving energy sector the firm is pivotal in guiding Australian clients through this transformative period With more than 3,000 lawyers across over 50 locations worldwide, Norton Rose Fulbright boasts one of the largest and most prolific global teams specialising in energy The firm’s comprehensive involvement in all legal aspects of sustainable infrastructure projects— through the lifecycle of a project financing and disputes— has helped it to support a growing list of domestic and international clients The firm stands out for its ability to adapt to an environment marked by challenges and opportunities in traditional and emerging sectors Perth-based banking and finance partner Alen Pazin one of Australia’s leading mining and infrastructure finance lawyers Recognised for his expertise by the Australian Financial Review’s Best Lawyers list Pazin has led numerous high-profile projects including the financing of the Minas de Aguas Tenidas (MATSA) copper project in Spain which won European Mining Deal of the Year Pazin points out that despite the global push toward renewable energy there remains a "balance of work" between traditional and renewable energy “The global energy crisis has led to a resurgence in investments in traditional energy sectors like gas and coal,” Pazin noted “These sectors are central to current energy requirements with much more investment than we saw even two years ago this doesn’t negate the importance of renewables or battery minerals albeit with significant challenges in securing funding.” Pazin’s insights reflect the broader reality that while the momentum toward sustainability is strong “We’ve had to pivot our focus quite a bit over the last year or two,” Pazin said “It’s a case of going ‘Back to the Future’ we’ve traditionally done hard rock mining financing gold projects are again the easiest to get financed This shift highlights the importance of adaptability in our practice ensuring that we remain aligned with market realities while continuing to support long-term sustainability goals.” Norton Rose Fulbright’s global reach is a key advantage in delivering innovative legal solutions that reflect both international trends and local market nuances Banking partner Nick Sinclair who spent six years of his career working in Singapore brings extensive experience in project finance and energy having worked on numerous project financings in the renewables and oil and gas sector across the Asia Pacific region His background highlights the firm’s ability to leverage global insights for the benefit of local clients “Energy security—ensuring a stable and reliable supply—is the main priority for many,” he noted as well as broader investment mandates in the energy sector offering both reliability and the potential for higher returns Our view is that gas will continue to be a key pillar of energy security and Australian projects will continue to attract significant investment.” Sinclair observed that there remain numerous hurdles and obstacles before a steady flow of greenfield renewables projects hit the Western Australian market “The demand for sustainable energy will continue to grow and we expect government support will play a crucial role in accelerating the development of renewables projects.” In Western Australia, where resources and energy are vital to the economy, Norton Rose Fulbright’s Perth office is well-positioned to support clients in navigating the complex energy landscape Leveraging their global network and extensive local knowledge they are leading the way in sustainability and energy transition legal services ensuring clients are well-prepared for the challenges and opportunities ahead

parties to allow for the best and most competent candidates to be elected to the Judicial Council so that they can perform the most responsible duties in the Montenegrin judiciary without being indebted to politicians The MPs are about to vote on the four nominations for the Judicial Council from the ranks of prominent jurists after the nominees failed to receive the required two-thirds majority support in the Parliament in July they need the support of three-fifths of MPs Pazin told Pobjeda that selecting of the best and most competent candidates is an investment in an independent and efficient judiciary as the cornerstone of overall development and prosperity of Montenegro “The selection of members of the Judicial Council exclusively based on the criteria of the personal and professional integrity of candidates is a necessary precondition for the independence and functionality of courts and a guarantee for legal certainty and equality of Montenegrin citizens before the law,” the Justice Minister explained Longer version of article is available on a link MINA ENGLISH SERVIS (MINA) – Montenegro has done everything that had to be done for the extradition of Svetozar

the case,” Pazin told the press He remarked that Montenegro is working closely with the Kosovo authorities with regard to the extradition of Mario Milosevic and that a positive outcome of that cooperation is expected After completing his education in Croatia and Slovenia Mr Krulčić became involved in politics in 1992 Since 1993 he has been a member of the Istrian Democratic Assembly

membership Head of the EU Delegation to Montenegro Aivo Oran handed over to Pazin the European Commission’s (EC) 2019 Report on Montenegro Pazin remarked that the government would probably present some subjects in other light in particular in regard to the results in fight against organized crime and meeting the requirements for opening of the only chapter left “But it is the right of our partners in Brussels to give their own view of Montenegro’s progress in the previous period Montenegro responsibly accepts the work ahead of it and also expects that its efforts and results will be recognized and confirmed in a timely manner “Montenegro’s membership in the EU is possible only if we are equally interested in it the current EC assembly showed that the enlargement policy was alive and added that the results of the elections for the new European Parliament are the encouragement that the new EC will intensify promotion of such politics He stressed that the leading position of Montenegro in the current EU enlargement policy is not only an epithet proved that its institutions are capable of implementing the laws without exception Pazin expressed belief that the Report will be a clear indication to all EU member states that Montenegro has achieved notable progress in the area of ​​the rule of law and that it is willing to open negotiations by the end of the year in the remaining Chapter 8 but also to obtain the closing benchmarks in chapters 23 and 24 He announced that the Government will pay special attention this year to fulfilling certain recommendations he believes can contribute to further strengthening of credibility and trust in the institutions of the system Orav stated that the EC published the Strategy for the Western Balkans a year ago which stated that the enlargement is possible if certain criteria are met and that essence of that process is represented in chapters 23 and 24 “We hope that Montenegro will be the first country to meet the interim benchmarks regarding those chapters” that there is low level of confidence in electoral process and that this electoral framework should be revised Orav emphasized that the boycott of the parliament by the opposition MPs was current last year adding that Brussels believes that all accusations regarding corruption demand credible and thorough approach and responses “We also believe that returning of political debate to the parliament is a responsibility of all actors” Orav said that certain progress was noted regarding fight against corruption independence and defining priorities with the Anti-Corruption Agency are necessary He noted that progress was not observed in the field of freedom of expression and added that RTCG’s independence is a very serious problem He remarked

10 – 15 years what kind of city will the mayor bequeath when he eventually leaves office one heralded achievement has been that Zagreb has become a multi-ethnic whether you’re a fan of the mayor or not The gangs of tourists guided around summertime streets are not the only exotic new additions here Zagreb’s population has evolved to embrace folks from all over the world And nowhere is this more noticeable than in choice of food on offer Where once you’d have struggled to find much beyond pekara and pizza Zagreb’s food menu now boasts cuisine from all over the world as new arrivals have broadened the palette of the city just as many locals have been inspired to offer alternative eats we’ll take a look at some of the best that’s now on offer and get the story behind these businesses and their food just a few minutes walk from Kvaternikov trg or Džamija (Meštrović Pavilion / Home of Croatian Artists) Lazeez is an informal cafe and takeaway that specialises in the food of Lebanon where owner Ihab Abisaid originally comes from there are few greater rewards after a morning’s shopping on the outdoor market than relaxing on the covered terrace of Lazeez snacking on a salad or the best hummus in the city they offer a range of platters and authentic kebab-like wraps In 2011 I came here and opened the city’s first Lebanese restaurant on Radnička I worked there for two years and then went back to Moscow It’s so safe here and the weather is so much better It’s a great place to raise a family.  I came back in 2018 and ran a restaurant on Tkalčićeva with a partner before moving here to set up Lazeez on my own I go back to Lebanon twice every year to visit my extended family we don’t use any pork meat here simply because it just isn’t used in Lebanese food In Lebanese cuisine there are lots of vegetarian dishes We make falafel from chickpeas and our sandwich wraps are flavoured with Lebanese sauces which are a completely different flavour to what you can find elsewhere in Croatia.  Falafel and side dishes at Lazeez © Veki Pazin I think people enjoy the food here because it’s natural and healthy The spices we use are more exotic than you would find in local cuisine Cumin features a lot and there is a classic Lebanese mix that contains seven spices in measured amounts and it’s key to giving our food its Lebanese identity Our full-time chef is from Syria and she is essential – Syrian food is quite similar to Lebanese Before Corona we had one guy from Algeria working here On our terrace every day you can meet people from many different countries and cultures although most of our customers are Croatian what’s most noticeable is the change in mentality accepting of outsiders and willing to try new things I think people are more interested in eating healthy

historic chance to establish a unique model of lasting peace and prosperity on the entire European continent Deputy Prime Minister Zoran Pazin has stated Speaking at a special event dedicated to regional stability in Europe organized within the Crans Montana Forum in Geneva on Thursday Pazin voiced his confidence that the new enlargement to Europe’s South East in the near future would give a strong international credibility to the EU’s values and policies and boost its global competitiveness According to a press release from the Government’s PR Service the Deputy Prime Minister remarked that Montenegro is an example of success of European policy in South East Europe “Since we restored our independence and embarked on a journey of European and Euro-Atlantic development 12 years ago the value of our economy has doubled and today we generate some of the highest growth rates in Europe,” Pazin stated He added that Montenegro is contributing actively to international peace and security through NATO and acts as a reliable anchor and promoter of European values and rules in South East Europe Pazin underlined that today’s complex socio-political and security environment in Europe and the world requires European leaders and citizens to demonstrate great wisdom and determination in building the European Union’s global competitiveness but also as a progressive civilizational idea The Deputy Prime Minister said that the EU as a unique supranational project of peace and prosperity must actively and eagerly advocate and promote on the global scene its values and accomplishments “And it must not allow the retrograde and dangerous ideologies of nationalism isolationism and extremism to impose themselves as legitimate alternative models for European and global development,” Pazin concluded Email: Email Us Here Website: Visit Our Website Blog: Visit Our Blog
