Answer ... The Arbitration Act does not explicitly regulate the confidentiality of arbitration. However, as confidentiality is arguably considered one of the general principles of arbitration, it may follow that this is also implied under Serbian law. However, without any explicit provisions to this effect, uncertainty remains not only regarding whether confidentiality applies, but also regarding the extent to which it applies. Therefore, if the parties wish to ensure the confidentiality of arbitration proceedings, they are advised to agree on this explicitly, either in the underlying agreement or terms of reference or through the application of certain procedural or institutional rules that prescribe it.

Answer ... As a duty of confidentiality is not prescribed by the Arbitration Act, there are no explicit exceptions thereto under this law.
