The modern data center no longer ends at commissioning. Once energized, it enters a long operational phase in which value creation, risk control, and asset performance are determined not by construction quality alone, but by how effectively a complex, multi-layered infrastructure ecosystem is governed over time. In this environment, the Owner’s Engineer is no longer...
Pre-verification technical support is not only compatible with CBAM’s framework, it is rapidly becoming a de facto second-layer requirement driven by EU buyers, their CBAM declarants, and their appointed EU verifiers. What is emerging in practice is a two-tier verification architecture, where pre-verification sits upstream of formal CBAM verification and is increasingly decisive for whether...

The EU’s emerging steel strategy beyond CBAM marks a structural turning point for Serbia’s industrial and energy position vis-à-vis the European Union. While CBAM itself has already focused attention on carbon pricing and embedded emissions, the broader EU steel and metals framework now being shaped goes significantly further. It combines trade defence, product standards, circular-economy...
By the end of 2025, Serbia entered the decisive pre-implementation phase of the European Union’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism with a trade structure that leaves little room for complacency. Unlike many non-EU exporters whose exposure to CBAM is marginal or indirect, Serbia’s export relationship with the EU is both deep and structurally concentrated in exactly...
For EU industrial groups with Serbian subsidiaries, CBAM cannot be managed as a peripheral customs compliance task. It requires a group-level execution architecture that clearly allocates responsibility, controls data quality at source, and shields the importing entity from avoidable carbon cost inflation. The core principle is simple: CBAM risk must be governed where emissions are generated, not where...
The full financial application of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism from 2026 transforms Serbia’s role in European industrial supply chains. For EU industrial groups importing carbon-intensive products from Serbia, or producing inside Serbia through local subsidiaries and exporting back into the Union, CBAM is no longer a distant regulatory concept. It becomes a measurable, auditable, and recurring...
Independent technical preparation supporting EU-accredited verifiers, EU importers, and non-EU exporters is increasingly becoming a structural enabler of CBAM delivery rather than a peripheral service. As verification volumes rise and the geographical footprint of CBAM installations expands beyond the EU, verifiers are confronting a practical constraint that accreditation alone does not solve: the absence of...
Engineering-related business services sit at the core of Serbia’s EU-accession economy, yet they remain structurally under-analysed because they do not present themselves as a headline sector. They do not dominate GDP tables, they do not absorb large volumes of bank credit, and they do not announce billion-euro projects under their own name. And yet, by...
