Legal Framework  

As an alternative to litigation, mediation has the potential to foster efficiency of the judiciary system.
The Macedonian government drafted a new law in early 2005 promoting mediation as an extra-judiciary procedure for resolving disputes . The law, part of an overall judicial reform package aimed at meeting EU criteria, will be applicable in civic, trade, employment and consumer disputes, though it will not apply to collective employment relations, criminal issues and administrative issues. Anyone working as a mediator must have obtained a certificate from the Chamber of Mediators.
