"It was an absolute delight to work together with the KŠB professionals on the Czech Republic chapter for this report," commented CEE Legal Matters Managing Editor Radu Cotarcea. "In light of the current context, with growing attention paid to issues of security and independence of supply, a close look at the sector is all the more critical and we're thankful for the KŠB team for taking the time to share their insights into the sector."

We were happy to take the opportunity to contribute to the comparative guide and to clarify the specifics of oil & gas laws and regulations in the Czech Republic” add Václav Rovenský and Tomáš Sequens.
