Answer ... The Arbitration Act does not explicitly provide for consolidation of separate arbitral proceedings. However, consolidation is not excluded and could be effected, for example, if the parties have agreed to apply institutional arbitration rules which provide for this possibility.

Answer ... Serbian law does not explicitly regulate joinder of additional parties to an arbitration that has already been commenced. As is the case with consolidation, joinder is not excluded and may therefore be agreed upon by the parties.

Answer ... According to the Arbitration Act, unless the parties have agreed otherwise, an arbitration agreement shall remain in force even in case of:

• assignment (cession) of the contract or claim;
• subrogation; or
• other cases of transfer of claim.

Beyond these situations, the effect of an arbitration agreement on third parties is not regulated by the Arbitration Act.
