Various states have chosen different methods while implementing the provisions of Mediation Directive regarding mediation’s initiation forms, in respect to their own traditions, social, economic and legal situation, i.e. one state has chosen the classic model of voluntary mediation, others - in their legal system has made mediation mandatory.
