the Law on Bankruptcy Proceedings establishes the bankruptcy procedure of the debtor in bankruptcy, its reorganization after the acceptance of proposal for initiation of bankruptcy proceedings, and is one of the most important factors of the implementation of the bankruptcy proceedings.
The reorganization of the debtor in bankruptcy implies the possibility of continuation of its business operations although the bankruptcy proceeding has been initiated against it. In the process of reorganization the bankruptcy plan is submitted, which is the main document of the procedure on the content of which it depends whether the debtor will continue to operate or the bankruptcy proceedings will be continued against it. We can emphasize the fact that the institutes of reorganization of the debtor and the bankruptcy plan are new in our law. In order to successfully implement the reorganization of the debtor, the following conditions are required to be met:
the bankruptcy trustee understands and knows well the matter of the bankruptcy proceedings,
the bankruptcy plan include all the measures taken against the debtor in bankruptcy in order to continue with business and in order to gain profits,
