The amended provisions of the Law on Enforcement and Security (2015) from 2019 envisage a new, intermediary function of public executors before initiating the enforcement procedure by regulating the mediation procedure for the purpose of voluntary settlement of the monetary claim of the executive creditor. In addition to the mediating role that the public executor may have during the enforcement procedure, provided for in the original text of the Law on Enforcement and Security, its mediating function has been extended to the mediation procedure that can be conducted before the enforcement procedure is initiated to settle the claim. In this way, the range of judicial services provided by public bailiffs as special judicial bodies has been expanded. The paper presents and critically analyzes the provisions of the Law on Enforcement and Security which regulate this new intermediary service that can be provided by public bailiffs, which is intended to relieve to some extent both courts and public bailiffs in the enforcement procedure, speed up the settlement of enforcement creditors. and reduce the costs of enforcement proceedings. The authors point out some of the implications that may arise in connection with this procedure.
