SRR accepts members who meet the following requirements:

SRR's board has the right to exclude or freeze a member who violates any of the above points.

A member who violates the rules and harms SRR, or opposes its interests and purpose, can be excluded from the organization. An excluded member can appeal the decision to the board by notifying them within one month of receiving the notification of exclusion.

The annual meeting is the organization's highest decision-making body. It should be held during the first four months of the year, and members must be notified at least two weeks before the meeting. Members have the right to submit proposals for items on the agenda no later than 10 days before the meeting. The agenda and other materials must be provided to the members no later than 7 days before the annual meeting.

Agenda for the Annual Meeting:

If the auditors, the board of directors or one third of the members require it, an extraordinary general meeting shall be held. The invitation must be sent to the members at least 2 weeks in advance, together with the agenda and documents for decision-making. At the extraordinary general meeting, only the issues that prompted the meeting can be discussed.

SRR's board is elected by the annual meeting and leads the council's work between the annual meetings. The board constitutes itself after the election. Board positions are an honorary and voluntary position. The board has the right to appoint one or more members for joint or individual assignments, as well as to delegate assignments to members. The board meets at least six times per year. The chairman calls for a board meeting. The board is responsible for leading the council's activities, managing finances, and handling membership matters.

SRR's board consists of:

The board of directors meets when the chairman deems it necessary, or when at least three members request it. The board is considered to be in session when all members have been summoned and at least half are present. In case of a tie vote, the chairman has the deciding vote. Board meetings are open to all members.

Only members and those present have the right to vote at SRR's meetings. Decisions are made by shouting "yes" or "no". If a vote is requested, hand-raising is used. If a decision cannot be reached due to an equal number of votes, the matter is put on hold until a majority can be achieved.

The company secretary is appointed by the board of directors: chair or deputy chair.

The association's accounting year is a calendar year, from January 1st to December 31st.

Changing these regulations requires a decision with a qualified majority at two consecutive annual meetings, of which one must be an ordinary meeting. At least 2 months must pass between the meetings.

The organization must have an auditor.

The choice of auditor takes place at the annual meeting in odd years. The election of the auditor and the auditor's deputy take place at the annual meeting in even years.

Decision regarding the dissolution of the organization requires a two-thirds majority of present members at two consecutive general meetings, with a minimum interval of two months between them, one of which must be the annual meeting. At the last meeting, it should also be decided how the association's assets should be managed.
