The session was opened by Prof. Dr. Aleksandra Nikolić, Vice-Rector for International Cooperation. The lecturer was Mr. Suad Muhibić, National Erasmus+ BH Office Director.

In addition to the standard application rules, Mr. Muhibić introduced the novelties that mostly relate to budget changes and the number of project partners.
