When writing the scales for maps, the colon is written without touch, which means with the space before and after the colon (e.g.: 1 : 100.000). Between the numbers and units of measurement there is a space (e.g. 125 m, 33,4 %), between the numbers and an exponent, or index numbers there is no space (e.g. 123, km2 , a., 15° C). Symbols in mathematical calculations are written with the space, except for the parentheses (for example: p = a + c -b - (a + c: b)). Authors must be moderate in using foreign words, and replace them with Bosnian words, if possible, for example: klima/podneblje, karta/zemljovid, vegetacija/rastinje and a like.
