Salary of mediator in the mediation contract is usually indicated in its content and is the result of mutual agreement of parties of the dispute with a neutral third party. While in mediation led by order of the court is regulated by Ordinance of the Minister of Justice on wages and reimbursable expenses of a mediator in civil proceedings on 30.11.2005. It is advisable to change this legislation towards aligning mediator charges to market realities. The legislator should also introduce legislation amendments to exempt parties from the costs of the mediation, which they can not bear. Lowering costs of mediation may occur by more frequent use of means of distance communication. But it must be remembered that mediation might be less expensive alternative to the administration of justice, but only if it is used in cases where there is a real chance for an amicable solution of the dispute.
