ISO adopts RS as international short name for Serbia
Belgrade,
26 September 2006
The Serbian Ministry of Science and Environmental Protection stated that the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) has announced today that "RS" has been adopted as the shortened two-letter international name for Serbia. This is in addition to "SRB" as the shortened three-letter name, which means that the Serbian government's proposal has finally been accepted.
In its preliminary decision ISO declined to accept "RS" as the shortened two-letter name for Serbia. However, the Ministry of Science and Environmental Protection and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs submitted a letter of complaint on behalf of the Serbian government and talks with ISO representatives ensued at which the Serbian government's argument and proposal were adopted, adds the statement.
