In this paper, the author analyzes the provisions of the new 2011 Civil Procedure Act on peaceful dispute resolution. In addition to the principle of peaceful dispute resolution which was proclaimed in the former legislative act, the new Act contains a brand new article which explicitly lays down this principle and introduces a compulsory attempt at peaceful dispute resolution between a claimant (a natural person or a legal entity) and a respondent (the Republic of Serbia, an autonomous province or a local self-government unit. The author analyzes the provisions of this Act in light of the applicable principles governing peaceful dispute resolution, with specific reference to the position of potential litigants and their mutual relations. Finally, the author explores the possibilities of enacting alternative legal solutions on this issue.
Key words:
alternative dispute resolution, state as a respondent, mediation, peaceful dispute resolution
VANSUDSKO REŠAVANJE SPOROVA U SVETLU ZAKONA O PARNIČNOM POSTUPKU
U ovom radu autorka analizira odredbe Zakona o parničnom postupku u vezi mirnog rešavanja sporova. Pored, i ranijim zakonom proklamovanog, načela o mirnom rešavanju sporova, novi zakon sadrži sasvim nov član kojim se konkretizuje ovo načelo i uvodi obavezan pokušaj mirnog rešavanja sporova između potencijalnog tužioca, fizičkog ili pravnog lica i potencijalnog tuženog, Republike Srbije, jedinice teritorijalne autonomije ili lokalne samouprave. Odredbe ovog zakona biće sagledane u svetlu principa koji o mirnom rešavanju sporova važe, a posebna pažnja biće posvećena položaju potencijalnih parničnih stranaka i njihovom međusobnom odnosu. Konačno, razmotriće se da li postoje, i koje bi bile, alternative novog zakonskog rešenja.
