Summary/Abstract: The alternative methods of conflicts resolution represent a form of personal, cultural and religious empowerment that denies the authority of the authoritarian power to resolve conflicts. These methods assume the will and activity of the society, as well as its maturity, so that the society be able to resolve its internal issues and conflicts on its own merits. Negotiations and reconciliation are historically known and practiced in different versions in the lands of Bulgaria. Hence, Bulgarian society has traditions in the resolution of its internal conflicts, commensurable to other societies in which such methods are deeply rooted.
