The Charles University in Prague – the main university of the Czech Republic and the oldest university in Central Europe hosted the Prague Summer Mediation Academy with the participation of the representatives from the United States of America, Italy, Kenya, the Great Britain, Georgia, India, the Philippines and Kyrgyzstan. Ermek Mamaev, a lawyer of Kalikova & Associates, was also admitted to participate in the summer academy.

This course offered participants the opportunity of exploring the general issues on mediation as an alternative way of disputes resolution, mediator tools and skills, foreign mediation experience, as well as issues related to cross-border mediation. Lectures were conducted by recognized experts in the field of mediation and other alternative methods of disputes resolution from the Czech Republic and Ireland.

It should be noted that at the end of June the Parliament of the Kyrgyz Republic approved in the third reading the draft Law of the Kyrgyz Republic "On Mediation", which is designed to relieve the courts by introducing extrajudicial settlement of conflicts with the help of a mediator.
