Mediation.
What is it?
It's certainly not meditation.
Mediation is a cheaper and more effective form of reaching a mutually beneficial agreement, and the result is often a good relationship between the parties who, in addition to overcoming the problem by finding a working option for themselves, are left with positive emotions after the communication. A complete restoration of relations is quite possible.
Mediation takes place within or outside of court proceedings.
What is NOT
mediation?
Mediation is not a court nor an arbitration. The mediator is not a judge or an arbitrator.
Mediation is not the exercise of influence over one of the parties during or outside of court proceedings.
Mediation is not about forcing an agreement.

"A mediator is a person who creates a pleasant and friendly environment, contributes to a respectful and humanistic attitude between the partners in the conversation during mediation. I am of the opinion that a dispute or a misunderstanding at some point in time certainly does not mean that the parties are unable to realise that cooperation is always the more profitable card to play. One loses much more, if they recklessly collect the other's party cards - figuratively speaking – robs them, puts them in a corner and walks away. Cui bono: who benefits from this? No one, because, in life, one does not play a game after which everything ends.
To the contrary, the game and the situations are different, more complex, or of varying difficulty and duration. The realistic point of view is that life offers us a great number of games, and the strongest approach is to take these games as a process in the long run. This is where partnerships have real meaning and returns of all kinds are higher. This approach has been proven by life."
Dr. Blagovest Varbakov
"Mediation is like an 'open street.' There is no violence there, but goodwill and a desire to achieve a result. A positive result. Note, however, that this result can also be negative. Anything is possible.
Failure to reach an agreement is also a possible outcome and clients should be aware of this. The mediator or team of mediators, as the case may be, will do their best to bring the situation to a mutual compromise, this is our "know-how", but the awareness and responsibility ultimately rests in the hands of the participants in the mediation.
Respect and a good tone during mediation is a must. The ability to listen, to be patient, compassionate and sensitive to what the other party is saying without interrupting, i.e. hearing each other and understanding what was said, answering the mediator's questions conscientiously and with the necessary goodwill.
Mediation is a higher form of intelligence and pragmatism.”
