The Chamber of Mediators of Serbia

Dear visitors, it is a great honor and pleasure for me to share with you the joy of all of us who are part of the Chamber of Mediators of Serbia.

Some 1,500 people are licensed to mediate in peaceful settlement of disputes, and the total number of mediators is expected to reach about 5,000 when the register of mediators can be expected to close. Mediation in Serbia reaches a wider audience every day, awareness of its necessity is spreading and more and more people are completing training for mediators. The training that mediators complete gives them the legitimacy to apply for a license, a mediation permit. In 5 days of training, they gain basic knowledge about mediation, but it is often not enough to be a "complete" mediator.

What we do as a Chamber comes after the training, where we test the knowledge of mediators, we work with them on their training, additional education, but also constant socializing in order to test knowledge and progress as a mediator of each individual member. Regular simulation of mediation, which we conduct as exercises every month, allows members good practice, gives them a great deal of self-confidence and allows us to measure the progress of each member and therefore rank their knowledge through internal parameters.

When our members have their first mediation, they receive free support from us, help in prepar-ing the sending of letters, but also leading the entire process, and finally the assistance of our lawyers-mediators, who help them to precisely formulate a legal enforcement agreement to end mediation.

Overburdened courts, aware of all the advantages of mediation in terms of a procedure that in a faster, cheaper, more confidential and impartial way comes to the same point as the Judge after many years of litigation, when the agreement on termination of mediation is verified and the status of an executive document because the dispute was resolved through mediation, the Judge is recorded as having completed the proceedings and one case less remained on the still large pile of lawsuits awaiting their turn.

Our team has been conducting trainings for mediators in different ways and through different institutions, organizations and great enthusiasm of individuals, but that is not enough. It is neces-sary to turn the big wheel of the system and equalize the importance of mediation everywhere in the world and in our country.

Promotion of mediation, growth and development of us as the Chamber of Mediators of Serbia is the main goal we strive for, but also stimulating people's awareness of the need for mediation to come to life in the full sense of the word and take precedence where it exists in other countries.

Our second goal is certainly to include mediators in the European and world community, exchange experiences and techniques used by colleagues in other countries, all in order to find the best possible solution for the parties to the conflict and finally resolve their dispute to mutual satisfaction.

The third goal is certainly our organizational and institutional strengthening, strengthening professionalism, responsibility, recognition and loyalty, and our further development and position in society will depend on the success achieved in the realization of these goals.

The Chamber of Mediators of Serbia is always open for cooperation, for new members, but also for new ideas, programs and proposals that can raise mediation to a higher level, and the rec-ommendation and progress of our members will clearly show you the path we have taken. We can only succeed as a team and that is why we are here to answer all your questions, listen to all your suggestions, but also the problems you have as a mediator in terms of finding a job or moments that would facilitate the mediation process in practice.

Anything you can't find on our website, ask us in person or contact us by email and find out everything that interests you.

In the end, this is a good place for all those who do not know how to choose a mediator for their case and want the best additionally educated mediators who know their job and do it conscientiously, paying special attention to the confidentiality of information they encounter. The Chamber stands behind its members, but also performs serious selection, control and additional education so that the end clients are satisfied and gladly recommend us as professionals in their work.
