During her undergraduate studies, Ms Milica Arsic pursued the international law stream, whereas her LLM thesis inspected the limits introduced by national entities and the international community in alternative dispute resolution.
Having obtained knowledge of the general principles of private international law, she is interested in applying these to combat challenges regarding the protection of cultural heritage. Her current scope of interest touches upon issues of both private and public international law, concentrating on the interplay between private international law and cultural heritage.
The outline of her PhD thesis is entitled “Applicability of Basic Principles of Private International Law in Preserving Cultural Heritage”, with an emphasis on revisiting the theory of vested rights, as well as the shortcomings of the utilisation of the lex origins and fraus legis.
