Dialogue Instead of Dispute: Successful Resolution of Workplace Harassment Cases

23. 02. 2026.

Through the Republic Agency for the Peaceful Settlement of Labour Disputes, two proceedings initiated on the grounds of workplace harassment have been successfully concluded. In both cases, the parties opted for a peaceful resolution and concluded agreements, thereby creating the conditions for regulating their mutual relations and continuing their professional cooperation.

The proceedings were conducted by arbitrator Živko Kulić, whose professional and impartial management of the process, through several hearings, enabled constructive dialogue between the parties and contributed to reaching an amicable settlement, with the aim of normalizing relations and ensuring the smooth functioning of the work process.

In the case concerning the company Alma Quattro d.o.o. Belgrade, after three hearings the parties concluded an agreement by which they committed themselves to responsible and professional conduct in an atmosphere of mutual respect and cooperation. The employer undertook to organize work in a manner that ensures conditions for the uninterrupted performance of duties, as well as to contribute to eliminating the causes of misunderstandings that led to the initiation of the proceedings.

In the second case, conducted within a state authority, the Administration for the Enforcement of Criminal Sanctions, after four hearings the parties reached an agreement regulating the manner of mutual communication, respect for professional standards, and the rules of conduct within the work process, with the aim of preserving stable and functional relations within the service.

Both the private company and the state authority demonstrated a high level of responsibility and readiness to resolve disputes in a constructive manner, in cooperation with employees and with the support of the Agency, thereby providing an example of good practice in regulating labour relations and fostering a professional working environment.
