JBMO
Regulations.

The aims of the Junior Balkan Mathematical Olympiad (JBMO) include:

1. a.

   The challenging, encouragement and development of mathematically gifted school students in all participating member countries;

2. b.

   The fostering of friendly relations among the students and teachers of the member countries;

3. c.

   The creation of opportunities for the exchange of information of school syllabuses and practices within the member countries.

The official language of the JBMO is English.

The JBMO is organized once every year within the period of June 23 to June 30. The member countries are: Albania, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Hellas, North Macedonia, Republic of Moldova, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia and Turkey. Care should be taken so that no country will be hindered from participating in the JBMO because of major religious holidays.

The JBMO can only be organized in one of the member countries and only member countries can officially participate in the contest.

New member countries have to be accepted unanimously by the MASSEE Council members at least one year before participation.

If a member country is absent from a JBMO contest for reasons beyond its control, the member country can veto the approval of a new country within three months after the last JBMO meeting.

The country organizing a JBMO may invite guest teams to participate, either from its own country or from another country, provided that the guest team is participating unofficially and outside the JBMO competition. In order to invite such guest teams the organizing country has to ask all the members for a "no objection" reply at least two months before the competition takes place and the member countries have to reply within a week. In case a member country objects to the invitation of a guest team then such a team cannot be invited.

Each year there will be a JBMO Committee consisting of three members, representatives of the country organizing the current, the coming JBMO (Chair), the country that organized the JBMO the year before, and the country planned to organize the JBMO the following year. The new JBMO Committee becomes effective immediately after the end of the closing ceremony of the last JBMO. The JBMO Committee cooperates with the MASSEE Committee for Competitions.

The JBMO Jury consists of all leaders of the member countries and its Chairman (Chairperson), appointed by the host country.

Each member country has one vote in the Jury.
