I would also like to express our appreciation for Martin Salzmann, The Netherlands’ Cadastre, Land Registry and Mapping Agency, who attended his final General Assembly as the Association’s Treasurer, and to Denis Tabučić, Federal Administration for Geodetic and Real Property Affairs, Bosnia and Herzegovina, who has completed his term on Management Board.”
