The official organization behind BSNLP is SIGSLAV: the ACL Special Interest Group on Slavic NLP.

The success of these workshops results from international co-operation and steadily growing interest in the BSNLP themes.

BSNLP workshops will continue to be organized on a regular basis, co-located with major events and conferences related to NLP.
