Vuković assessed that the signing of the Memorandum represents an important step towards strengthening the role of alternative dispute resolution methods in legal systems.
"Our common goal is to encourage the wider application of alternative dispute resolution methods through the promotion of international standards and, through joint work, provide professional support and education to Montenegrin and Croatian mediators," concluded Vuković.
