The South Eastern European Mediation Forum (SEEMF) is a regional network of mediators that supports and advocates the development of mediation as a conflict resolution tool in South Eastern Europe – the former Yugoslavia and Albania.
SEEMF was initiated in October 2005 by CSSProject for Integrative
Mediation (CSSP, www.cssproject.org) in an effort to connect all
mediators and mediation organisations in the region. The purpose was
to create a platform for exchange and dialogue to improve good
practice, cooperation, and strengthen human relationships.
SEEMF
promotes mediation through direct activities, like trainings,
conferences, and exchanges, and by interacting with local and external
networks and organizations focusing on conflict resolution. It
includes mediators specialized in all fields of mediation and seeks to
raise awareness of the contribution mediation can make in the regional
peacebuilding process by helping resolve conflicts nonviolently. SEEMF
seeks to advocate the legal frameworks for mediation in the individual
countries.
SEEMF is sponsored by CSSP through funds from the
Stability Pact Fund for South Eastern European sponsored by Germany.
Additional financial support has been provided on an activities’ basis
by partners. SEEMF seeks to become financially self-sustainable and
welcomes contributions from donors and through projects.![]()
