By supporting a modern, inclusive, and sustainable European standardization system, it is possible to flexibly respond to the needs of the market, industry, and public administration. At the same time, the need to preserve the core principles of European standardization is emphasized, particularly consensus, transparency, national delegation, and the credibility of technical documents.

During the sessions, experiences were exchanged with representatives of national standardization bodies from other European countries with the aim of improving the standardization process in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
