The 6th Regional Museum Meeting had special guests from Italy, Prof. Roberto Zancan (UNESCO Chair at Iuav University in Venice) and Prof. Guido Incerti (University of Ferrara).

The topic of the 6th Regional Museum Meeting, "Social Inclusion and the Contemporary Museum", was selected in view of the fact social inclusion is one of the key issues facing today’s museology. It is one of the biggest professional challenges for museums in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the region.

The aim of the conference was to broaden the experience and knowledge of social inclusion and the role of museums in present-day society, and to formulate a new museum action strategy in this field.
