Sa predstavnicma organizacija i institucija koje su uzele učešće na ovom događaju u pogledu prava na slobodu mišljenja i izražavanja najviše se diskutovalo o problemu egzistiranja prekršajnog sankcionisanja u Federaciji Bosne i Hercegovine za omalovažavanje ili vrijeđanje državnih tijela, preduzeća, odnosno drugih pravnih lica koja vrše javna ovlašćenja, te nepreciznim formulacijama bića prekršaja širenja lažnih vijesti. Tema diskusije je bila i pitanje ograničavajućeg uticaja prava na slobodu mišljenja i informisanja u pogledu postojanja krivičnog djela Neovlašćeno posjedovanje radio ili televizijske stanice u krivičnom zakonodavstvu Federacije Bosne i Hercegovine, te Nepostojanja adekvatnih mehanizama za zaštitu branioca ljudskih prava i novinara u smislu nesmetanog uživanja prava na slobodu mišljenja i izražavanja.
Diskusija je vođena i o pitaju neusaglašenosti kantonalnih zakona o javnim okupljanjima sa Evropskom konvencijom o zaštiti ljudskih prava i osnovnih sloboda. Kada je u pitanju pravo na slobodu kretanja u dijelu koji je bio predviđen za diskusiju posebno je adresirano pitanje neusaglašenosti odredaba Zakona o strancima sa standardima zemalja iz okruženja kada je riječ o razlozima iz kojih se strancu može zabraniti ulazak u Bosnu i Hercegovinu zbog prijetnje nacionalnoj bezbjednosti, te procedura donošenja odluka o zabrani ulaska strancu u Bosnu i Hercegovinu.
