Also, the authorities in BiH are invited to provide conditions for BiH's participation in the international PISA and PIRLS tests.

BiH is invited to adopt a law on electronic identification and trust services for electronic transactions in line with the acquis, as well as a law on electronic communications and electronic media.

The importance of developing and adopting a cyber-security strategy and a broadband access strategy was emphasized.
