Abstract
The purpose of the Law is to facilitate volunteer service and to promote public participation in volunteer service. Volunteer service is organised physical or intellectual service performed by a natural person on the basis of good will and without remuneration for the benefit of the society. Volunteer service does not have the purpose of profit-making. Legal relationships of an organiser of volunteer service and a performer of volunteer service are established when the organiser of volunteer service and the performer of volunteer service have agreed upon the amount, the procedures for fulfilment, and the time period of the service to be performed, and also the performer of volunteer service has been made acquainted with his or her obligations and rights.
