Abstract

In this paper, the author presents mediation as a service activity in the criminal proceedings on the one hand, and as a way of resolving disputes on the other. Mediation has not been examined so far, and the author, being aware that we live in the 21st century which is called the century of services and service justice, and for a good reason, analyzes introduction of this type of service into the system of criminal law which traditionally represents a branch of public law and is distinguished by ius cogens norms. Mediation is viewed and analyzed as a way of resolving disputes in criminal proceedings with its significance emphasized through broad application in comparative law and through international standards in that field. Furthermore, an overview of the provisions on the mediation procedure in the applicable criminal procedure legislation is given. In the Code of Criminal Procedure, mediation is regulated in the framework of the provisions on summary proceedings conducted under a private lawsuit.
