Deputy prime minister and the minister of Justice Prof. Dr. Hajredin Kuçi at the opening of the training for the mediator in Prishtina region stressed the importance of the Mediation institution as a new institution in the Republic of Kosovo, which enjoys full support of the Ministry of Justice, under which it is established, as well as the support of different programs such as USAID, UNDP-, Twinning Project and the CSSP organization.
In this regard, minister Kuci, emphasized the compound importance of the Mediation, as a mechanism not only to support the judicial system in decreasing the number of the cases before the courts, but also to supplement it in many aspects.
Minister Kuçi emphasized that the mediation coexists in judicial system, because of the need to support in cases when the reached agreements with mediation shall be executed in regular courts and other competent authorities, he also recalled that the Mediation should be deemed as a very convenient mechanism for the citizens since the final agreement is reached by the parties itself, without a decision taken by the third party. Moreover, the minister Kuci stressed that this will save financially our judiciary, by making possible to find a solution for the cases in institutionalized and extra-judicial ways.
Minister Kuçi also mentioned the work done by the Ministry of Justice and its associates in terms of completing legal infrastructure for proper functioning of this institution, including here the regulation on the level of the financial compensation for mediators and the regulation to license the mediators.
