On Wednesday, May 20, 2026, the Directorate for Measures and Precious Metals (hereinafter: DMDM) marked the World Metrology Day.

World Metrology Day is celebrated on the occasion of the anniversary of the signing of the Meter Convention, which in 1875 established a framework for international cooperation in the field of metrology for industrial, commercial and social applications. Every year, more attention is paid to a certain topic, so this year too, we celebrate the World Metrology Day under the theme "Building Trust in Policy Making".

Čedomir Belić, director of DMDM, welcomed the attendees and pointed out that this message reminds us that quality and responsible decisions cannot be made without reliable, accurate and traceable measurements and that measured decisions build trust. He also said that our people have been passing on a simple but profound wisdom for centuries: "Measure twice, cut once." That sentence contains the essence of metrology - responsibility, precision and trust in what we measure and on the basis of which we make decisions.

After the director's address to the guests and employees of DMDM, a cocktail party was held.
