This Congress is the largest and most important scientific event in Laboratory Medicine in Croatia in 2018. It is also a congress of regional importance since CSMBLM closely cooperates with national societies from countries in our region, thus we are expecting participants also from Slovenia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and Macedonia.
