MEDIATION
Mediation in a dispute is a process, which is directed by the mediator in which the parties who are on bad terms or parties which have some disputable area or question are included voluntarily with purpose to search for the solution, which is acceptable for both parties. The advantage of the mediation is in efficacy, law costs, high level of effectiveness and mutual acceptance of the solution. Beside formal mediation is very useful also informal mediation, which is applicable in personal relations and at work.
Mediator - a person, who is qualified for leading the process of mediation - he helps participants in the process to express the problems, desires and needs in a constructive way, and to take actively part in finding a solution. Mediator is impartial and takes care for the process, he is not declaring for the content.
Besides quick and satisfying solution mediation contributes to relation improvement and cooperation between the parties which are on bad terms, reduces the possibility of the sharpening the conflicts in the future and contributes in developing effective forms to prevent and resolve difficulties and misunderstandings.
