The meeting is part of a broader set of activities that aim to ensure the launching of mediation in Montenegro with a view to easing pressure on the court system, elevating the problem of case backlog and thus improving access to justice.
The round table is a follow up to the May study visit of the first fifteen Montenegrin mediators to the Netherlands, supported by the then OSCE Office in Podgorica. It aims to train judges how to recognize cases which have the potential of being resolved by way of mediation and how to talk parties to a dispute into using this alternative dispute resolution mechanism.
