A working group meeting was held on 20 December 2019 for the development of the descriptors (key words) in administrative, civil and criminal cases for the e-sentences database. Heads of the case-law, administrative, criminal and civil departments of the highest courts in Bosnia and Herzegovina participated in the meeting: Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Supreme Court of Republika Srpska, Supreme Court of Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Appellate Court of Brčko District and representatives of the High Judicial and Prosecutorial Council of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
