In order to correctly interpret the observed emission from supernova remnants, one must find out how is the electron distribution partitioned into thermal and nonthermal component. Although the overall picture of the acceleration is generally accepted, the question "how does an electron start to accelerate" remains open and is the subject of ongoing discussions. This is the "injection problem", i.e determination of the distribution of particles which are able to be involved into the acceleration process. The extension of the individual particle approach of Bell (1978) to the problem of injection is proposed. The basic idea is the direct relation between the injection and thermalisation of particles on the shocks. Once particles which are capable to be accelerated are defined (as a solution of injection problem), we may follow their distribution during acceleration cycles to obtain the final distribution. Such an approach allows us to separate the thermal and nonthermal components of cosmic rays, depending on the properties of the shock.
