Description
Summary:Disputes in the sphere of law are solved by applying diverse court and non-court methods and techniques. Apart from traditional methods of solving disputes by sentencing, many national legal systems have also developed different alternative mechanisms for the peaceful dispute resolution (so called ADR techniques - Alternative Dispute Resolution), among which the process of mediation has a special significance. The application of mediation exists in Serbian law as well, but this method is not being used regularly. The most important reason for this is that we still haven’t obtained all the necessary organizational, functional and other conditions that would enable a practical verification of mediation’s advantages and potentials. It is not easy to predict the pace and intensity of the future work on the enhancement and affirmation of mediation in Serbian society. However, it is evident that the time of mediation is inevitably coming.
