Association for Democratic Initiatives (ADI), in cooperation with the Association of Employers of Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (UPFBiH) and Union of Employers’ Associations of Republika Srpska (UUPRS), conducted a series of focus groups with micro, small and medium-sized enterprises on the content of the Self-Representation Guide for Micro, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (MSMEs). The focus groups were held in the period from March 12, 2019 – April 24, 2019.

During focus groups, we have briefly presented the project’s activities, and discussed the problems that MSMEs have in accessing commercial courts/departments, the existing structure of commercial courts/departments, as well as presented the outline of the Self-Representation Guide for MSMEs. Representatives of the MSMEs had the opportunity to directly comment on the Guide’s content, and to suggest which topics should be further elaborated in the Guide.

Focus groups were held within the project „Improving Commercial Justice in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Develop and Disseminate A Self-Representation Guide for Micro, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (MSMEs)“ which is supported by the World Bank and financed by the Government of the United Kingdom.
