Summary/Abstract: International cooperation in the field of radiation protection has had an important and significant role at a global level. The primary aspects of cooperation are reflected in promotion of knowledge exchange, capacity building and technology transfer, both in the field of application and regulation of use of radiation technology. Taking into account the limited organizational, material and human resources in this field, in the previous period, Bosnia and Herzegovina was mostly an aid recipient through various multilateral and bilateral mechanisms. It is important to reiterate the participation in the programme of International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) technical cooperation as well as in the programme of Pre-Accession Assistance (IPA) project implementation of the European Union as the most important. The impressive progress in the field of radiation protection has been realized and recognized by relevant institutions after twenty years of active participation of Bosnia and Herzegovina institutions in the international cooperation. In the future, it will be necessary to continue the existing activities on the international scene, and also thanks to the development progress in human and technical capacity, to expand the existing cooperation to relevant international scientific institutions and professional associations, and to strengthen cooperation on a bilateral basis and thus establish new cooperation mechanisms that will provide added value and improve the existing capacities in the country.
