Strategic Lobbying in Central and Eastern Europe

Beyond Consulting – Delivering Practical Influence

Newrecon is not only a trusted partner in political consulting but also an established provider of direct lobbying services in Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, and Ukraine. With over 30 years of experience in the energy sector and political lobbying across the United States and Europe, our firm combines international expertise with local access to achieve results that others find unattainable. In other words, we resolve any issues encountered by foreign companies entering these markets, regardless of their complexity.

All our lobbying activities are conducted in full compliance with the EU’s mandatory Transparency Register and associated code of conduct eur-lex.europa.eu, and with Ukraine’s newly adopted “On Lobbying” law https://www.rada.gov.ua/en. What distinguishes Newrecon is our direct contact with current leaders at the highest levels of government, key parliamentarians, and influential decision-makers. These relationships allow us to address issues of any complexity—from routine bureaucratic matters to strategic national-level negotiations. We move beyond traditional consulting by delivering practical influence where it matters most.

Unlocking Business Opportunities

In Central and Eastern Europe, our lobbying activities focus on business-oriented outcomes. These markets are dynamic, growing, and open to international partnerships. For major foreign corporations and investors, CEE presents enormous opportunities—but also bureaucratic hurdles, regulatory delays, and political challenges.

We help companies:

• Accelerate Market Entry – by expediting the permits, licenses, and documentation required to start operations.

• Win Competitive Tenders – guiding participation in high-stakes infrastructure and public-private projects with strategies tailored for success in local tender processes.

• Enable Strategic Transactions – facilitating government approvals for acquisitions or sales of significant enterprises and assets.

• Resolve Complex Legal Issues – delivering practical solutions to sensitive legal and regulatory matters that might otherwise stall a project.

• Secure Investments – supporting the design and implementation of large-scale projects (e.g. energy, infrastructure) that align with both business goals and government priorities, making it easier to obtain official endorsements or funding.

• Build Strategic Partnerships – connecting clients with influential leaders and institutions to strengthen their market position and create long-term alliances.

  
  

Who We Serve in CEE

Newrecon’s CEE lobbying practice is tailored to a diverse clientele. We empower global investors, companies, institutions, and even governments to achieve their goals in the region:

• Investors & Funds: Foreign investors, sovereign wealth funds, and development financiers seek our guidance to navigate CEE market entry. We handle everything from initial market research and feasibility studies to securing local permits and forging government-backed agreements, ensuring investments are both compliant and strategically positioned.

• Multinational Corporations: Global companies partner with Newrecon to break into CEE markets and expand their footprint. We open doors to key ministries and agencies, help corporations win government contracts, and ensure they meet all EU and national standards. From overcoming regulatory obstacles to structuring joint ventures, we position our corporate clients for success.

• International Institutions & NGOs: Development agencies, international organizations, and business associations turn to us to forge partnerships and launch initiatives in CEE. We connect them with regional counterparts, assist in forming public–private partnerships, and run advocacy campaigns to secure local support or EU funding. Our team makes sure cross-border projects align with EU frameworks and local priorities.

• Government Ministries (Outside the EU): Ministries and state agencies from developing countries engage Newrecon to learn European best practices. We share expertise on transparent procurement, EU-aligned regulatory frameworks, and effective stakeholder engagement. By guiding these government clients through the intricacies of EU processes (like funding applications or infrastructure planning), we help them adopt and implement proven models in their own countries.

  
  

Defence Industry Partnerships in Central & Eastern Europe

Newrecon offers international defence corporations a unique gateway into the CEE region. With established relationships across leading regional manufacturers and strong connections within defense ministries and agencies, we help foreign companies develop and expand their defence product manufacturing in the region. Our support includes structuring joint ventures, guiding technology transfer projects, and navigating the approvals required for sensitive defence cooperation. By combining political access with industry insight, we ensure that partnerships are not only compliant with EU and national regulations but also aligned with government priorities and local industrial capacity. This means overseas defense investors can confidently build in-region capabilities that benefit both their business and host countries.
