Anyone who has studied European private international law knows that a special legal regime has been established in Europe to ensure the simple recognition and enforcement of court judgments between European Union (EU) Member States. However, the enforcement of third-country judgments in EU Member States is not regulated by EU law. In most cases, the enforceability of such judgments and the conditions for their enforcement are determined by the national law of each Member State. These national laws contain diverse and different approaches to the recognition and enforcement of third-country judgments. In February 2026, Bloomsbury Publishing released the book "Recognition and Enforcement of Non-EU Judgments", edited by T. Lutzi, E. Piovesani, and D. Zgrabljić Rotar. This volume brings together studies on the legal norms governing the recognition and enforcement of third-country judgments in 21 EU Member States. Dr. Aleksandrs Fillers (together with I. Allegranti) has prepared a study on the situation in Latvia, which is also included in the recently published book. This book will be useful for anyone interested in private international law in Latvia and the EU.
