Meeting with ENIC/NARIC representatives in Warsaw, 21st June 2011

Present countries: Bolgaria, Bosnia and Hercegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, Slovenia

commented on the table and present latest progression in NQF preparation where available

Conclusion: As in most countries in diploma recognition procedure,

diploma is recognised and positioned as in the country of origine,

knowing that old higher education system were symilar and taking

into account regional mobility we realize that different alignements

of old diplomas between countries as observed lead to discrimination

of diplomas gained in one of the countries. This fact calls for another

discussion on the reasons of such decision and differences within the

NQF representatives group.
