Our students in Mostar – 6-7th March 2020

The third and fourth year students of the Faculty of Economics of the University of Banja Luka had the opportunity to participate in a two-day workshop "Living and Working in BiH", held in Mostar on 6-7th March 2020. The aim of the workshop was to encourage and develop students' entrepreneurial ideas as well as their networking with colleagues from several public universities in BiH. The students were addressed by Mr. Sven Petke, Director of "Konrad Adenauer" Foundation in BiH, discussing the importance of developing an entrepreneurial mindset among young people. Additionally, students had the opportunity to hear entrepreneurs' experiences of doing business in BiH and the challenges they faced. However, the most important part of the event was the presentation of students' business ideas after which they could receive feedback from the audience, as well as ideas for improving the product and/or service. The Faculty of Economics in Banja Luka was represented by three teams of students who developed their business ideas during two business elevator pitching sessions as part of the subject Entrepreneurial Economics, and presented their ideas in a great way and showed that they were thinking about market gaps in an innovative way and that they were ready to offer solutions for missing products and services. Students traveled to the workshop with the support of the "Konrad Adenauer" Foundation as part of a cooperation with the Center for Project Management and Entrepreneurship (CPME).

45 years of the Faculty of Economics

Faculty of Economics of the University of Banja Luka (UNIBL) marked 45 years of successful work and development on 6th February 2020.

On that occasion, 110 graduates of the first cycle studies and 13 Masters of Science and Magisters were promoted.

Rector of the University of Banja Luka, Prof. Radoslav Gajanin, PhD, in his address reminded that in the past four and a half decades the Faculty of Economics has grown into the largest and most eminent educational and scientific institution in the field of economic sciences in the Republic of Srpska.

"During this time, the Faculty has spawned more than six thousand graduated economists, several hundred Magisters and 85 Doctors of Science, who have given a strong mark to the economic development of the Republic of Srpska since its inception, and through performing numerous functions and duties in the Republic's bodies and institutions have played a significant role in the social and political life of our Republic, as well as Bosnia and Herzegovina as a whole", said Rector Gajanin at a ceremony marking the 45th anniversary of this institution of higher education.

The Rector expressed the hope that the Faculty of Economics will continue the same upward development path in the coming years as all these years, and that it will continue to contribute to the development of the Republic of Srpska through education of quality personnel in the field of economic sciences.

He especially congratulated the graduates who were also awarded their diplomas today.

"I am convinced that among the magisters, masters and graduated economists who are being promoted today are future holders of significant functions and directors of companies," Gajanin said.

Prime Minister of the Republic of Srpska, Radovan Višković, emphasizes that the Faculty of Economics of the UNIBL is extremely important for the educational system and development of the Republic of Srpska.

“Everyone who graduated from this Faculty made a great contribution to the development of the Republic of Srpska. I expect that this important institution will continue to educate quality personnel, and the Government of Srpska by investing in knowledge is investing in the future of the society", Višković said, emphasizing that young people studying at public universities will have the maximum support of the Government of the Republic of Srpska.

Prime Minister Višković emphasized that the new Law on Higher Education will improve the quality of study in the Republic of Srpska.

Prime Minister Višković reminded that this Law also stipulates that from this year all full-time students of public higher education institutions in the Republic of Srpska who pass year after year without repetition will have free education, whether they are in the first or second cycle studies.

"This is a great help from the Government of the Republic of Srpska and in this way we want the conditions of study at our two public universities to be of the highest quality and to improve our education system," concluded Višković.

Minister of Scientific and Technological Development, Higher Education and Information Society of the Republic of Srpska, Srđan Rajčević, emphasized that the Faculty of Economics of the UNIBL is a prestigious higher education institution.

"It is certain that progress in the education system will be visible after the adoption of the new Law on Higher Education and the Law on Quality Assurance in Higher Education. Congratulations to this significant institution for 45 years of successful work," Rajčević said.

Dean of the Faculty of Economics Prof. Stanko Stanić, PhD, says that this Faculty is one of the leading ones at the University.

"It is certain that in 45 years of work we have shown the responsibility of professors and assistants to the community in which we function. We have contributed to the development of the community and economy, as well as life in the Republic of Srpska. In the coming period, with our colleagues from East Sarajevo we will offer the Government of Srpska to work together on the development strategy of the Republic of Srpska," said Stanić.

Dean Stanić emphasized that 1,130 students attend the Faculty of Economics today, in all three cycles of study.

This year again, the Faculty of Economics awarded the deserving employees of this institution of higher education, as well as the best students of the first and second cycle studies. Also, one-time cash prizes of the "Radovan Ribić" Foundation have traditionally been awarded.

Before the beginning of the ceremony marking 45 years of the Faculty of Economics, a bust of the first Dean of this Faculty, Prof. Jovan Rodić, PhD was discovered in front of the building of this institution of higher education. The bust, work of the academic sculptor Bojan Mikulić, was discovered by the Rector of the University of Banja Luka, Prof. Radoslav Gajanin, PhD, Dean of the Faculty of Economics of the UNIBL, Prof. Stanko Stanić, Ph.D. and Prof. Dragan Mikerević, PhD.
