MISSION

THE Faculty of Economics – University of Belgrade

Founded in 1937, our school takes as its primary objective to disseminate knowledge, develop scientific disci-

plines and provide students - future experts - with the knowledge, personal and core skills necessary for the

requirements of contemporary economic development of a market economy.

In doing so we are committed to follow and develop the highest standards in providing an outstanding train-

ing for future economic analysts, managers, financial experts, bankers, auditors, economic policymakers, eco-

nomic statisticians and researchers.

Research work at the Faculty aims to attain the highest standards of excellence in economic sci-

ence, which is already confirmed within the country but should be expanded to an international level

Sticking to these principles we focus on promising future:

The Faculty will maintain high standards…

19MISSION

...AND THE ONE

AND high quality in all aspects of its work through further investment in human capital – members

of the academic staff of the Faculty.

THE Faculty wants to progress further heading to its first centenary.

One of our goals on the way is to make close associations with institutions and organizations around the

world, and to become internationally renowned for the quality as one of the leading centres in teaching

and research within economics and business management in South East Europe.

Nowadays and for long, the Faculty has a recognizable impact on Serbian economy and society, thus it de-

velops and maintains dynamic partnerships with other institutions of higher education in Serbia, as well as

with the professions, public bodies and private enterprises.

Extending our commitment to the students, alumni and colleagues, we endeavour to keep, flourish and de-

velop the high standards of excellence in professional work, striving to contribute to the progress of our pro-

fession and to the economy of our country.

22 THE FIRST AND THE ONE

I TRADITION

Beginning (1937-1941)

In the Kingdom of Yugoslavia higher education in eco-

nomics was mainly provided at law faculties, where

some economic subjects were studied. The only high-

er school in economics and commerce operated in

Zagreb (Croatia) since 1925. In Serbia, the Law Faculty

of the University of Belgrade organized postgraduate

courses in economics, including doctoral ones.

The relatively underdeveloped economy of the King-

dom of Yugoslavia was hit hard by the great economic

crisis of the 1930s. The recovery from this crisis, eco-

nomic revival, new economic policy measures and the

Under the Ministerial Council Decree, the aim

of the School was “to provide professional

education in the fields of economic, financial

and commercial sciences, to impart theoretical,

scientific and professional knowledge to

students required for public (self-government)

service and free academic titles (business advisor,

auditor), and to prepare candidates for teaching

the economic-commercial and business-legal

subjects.”Belgrade, 1939, Terazije Square

24 THE FIRST AND THE ONE

evolution of economic thought in the world showed

that the hitherto education in economics was insuf-

ficient and that it should be at a higher level.

The Higher School of Economics and Commerce

(HSEC) in Belgrade was founded on 31 March 1937 aim-

ing to upgrade higher education in economics and

enhance the economic profession. The School was

founded by the Decree having the force of law, on 31

March 1937, in accordance with the Financial Law and

was approved by the Ministerial Council.

The HSEC was ranked as a university faculty. Given

the modest number of higher education institutions

in the pre-war Yugoslavia (24), it was regarded as an

important educational institution from the very be-

ginning.

Since the very beginning, the HSEC was very popular

among young people, since it brought new, modern

knowledge into a relatively underdeveloped economy.

For that reason, a great number of students enrolled

in the School as soon as it was founded. It is remark-

able that its students participated in various students’

actions, jointly with their colleagues from Belgrade

University, soon after

founding of the School.

Thus, in 1939, they took

part in a number of mas-

sive anti-fascist demon-

strations in Belgrade.

During these events,

Bosiljka Milićević, the

HSEC student, was bad-

ly wounded and lost her

life. Her bust stays now in the entrance hall of the Fac-

ulty of Economics. This marks the beginning of broad-

er social engagement of the students of economics,

which found its full expression during the war and in

the post-war period, in reconstruction of the coun-

try, in the development of its economy, as well as in

the protests, especially those in 1968 and during the

1990s.

War (1941-1944)

The war erupted in Yugoslavia in April 1941. Shortly, the

country was occupied and divided into several sectors

and other entities. The higher education institutions

in Serbia actually ceased to operate.

At the very beginning of the occupation, the Universi-

ty resisted the attempts of the authorities to carry out

the so-called University reform. Nevertheless, most

solutions granting large powers to the Ministry of

Education and limiting university autonomy were im-

posed. By a special Decree, the HSEC became part of

the Law Faculty as its Economics Department (March Belgrade, Balkanska 4, the first premises of the HSEC

1942). However, just like

within the whole Uni-

versity, teaching was

not carried out regularly;

except for some exams

yet not regularly and un-

der special conditions.

Despite the attempts of

the occupying authori-

ties and the collabora-

tionist Government in Serbia, regular teaching were

not resumed throughout the war period. The Uni-

versity staff was significantly reduced, because many

teachers retired or were dismissed, although some

new ones were appointed pursuant to the decisions

of the authorities.

Some teachers at the HSEC stopped to work and

some did not want to

apply when a large,

open competition was

announced in 1942 with

the aim to “purify” the

University from “na-

tionally unreliable ele-

ments”. Thus, some of

the renowned teachers

(among them acad-

emician Mijo Mirković, professors N. Konstandinović

and Lj. Bajalović) did not want to apply for a position

and resigned and some were pensioned off (Prof. A.

Jovanović and some others).

Academician Mijo

Mirković (1898-1963),

Professor at the HSEC

in Belgrade and several

Yugoslav Universities

before and after World

War II and a member of

the Yugoslav Academy

of Sciences and Arts in Zagreb, was a unique

intellectual figure. He was educated in Zagreb,

Belgrade, Frankfurt, Berlin and Bratislava.

He received his PhD degree in Economics in

Frankfurt, in 1923. Apart from being a renowned

scientist, he was a distinguished poet and author,

known under the pseudonym Mate Balota.

After the war he was a member of the Yugoslav

delegation to the Paris Peace Conference. Belgrade, April 1941

27I TRADITION • War (1941-1944)

Occupation and repression provoked resistance not

only among teachers but, even more so, among stu-

dents. Very soon after the occupation of the country,

a great number of students took an active part in lib-

eration movement. Among the students of the Higher

School of Economics and Commerce who participat-

ed in the war, three were proclaimed national heroes

and another 32 students were killed in combat, in the

resistance movement, or in concentration camps.

National Heroes from HSEC

Vladimir Perić – Valter (1919-1945), student of

the HSEC from October,

1939. He joined the

National Liberation

War in 1941. He was

engaged in covert work

in Sarajevo until the

beginning of 1942, when

he joined the Sixth East Bosnian Brigade. Early

in 1943, he was called upon to do a covert work

in Tuzla and in the summer of 1943, he returned

to Sarajevo and was also involved in covert

operations. He was killed while protecting the

electric power plant during the liberation of

Sarajevo, in the night between 5 and 6 April

1945. As one of the bravest and most prominent

members of partisan intelligence, Valter became

a legendary figure already during the war. His

courage and boldness inspired a popular movie

Valter defends Sarajevo.

28 THE FIRST AND THE ONE

Resumption of the HSEC Activities and the Founding of the Faculty of Economics (1944-1951)

After the liberation of Belgrade (20 October 1944),

the demand for educated economists, who would

take part in the reconstruction of the country, called

for the fast revival of the HSEC. The first cohort of

students was enrolled in the academic year 1945/46

already. The School resumed its activities with great

difficulty, which implied the preparation of the cur-

ricula, recruitment of teaching staff and the provision

of premises.

It turned out, however, that it was necessary to do

much more for the further advancement of higher

economic education. Thus, the HSEC was soon trans-

formed into the Faculty of Economics.

By a decree of the Serbian Government in 1947, the

HSEC was transformed into the Faculty of Econom-

ics, which became part of the University of Belgrade.

Uvalić (1912-1971). In

the environment with-

out a great tradition in

economic science, he

brought together scarce

educated economists,

increased teaching staff

and organized scientific work. Apart from the Fac-

founder of the Serbian Association of Economists, the

first economic theory journal Ekonomist and the first

economic research institute. He was a Corresponding

Member of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts.

30 THE FIRST AND THE ONE

II GROWTH

Towards a Modern School (1952-1967)

In the mid-1950s, the Yugoslav economy was char-

acterized by fast economic growth and significant

changes in its institutional system. Although in the

period 1946-52, which was characterized by the cen-

tralized government control of the economy, the

growth rate of GDP was only about 2% (partly due to

the country’s blockade by the Soviet Union), the aver-

age annual growth rate reached 8% in the period 1953-

62, which was characterized by changes in the system

directed at decentralization and enterprise autonomy

and self-management.

Although it was still under considerable government’s

influence, the economic system switched from the

Soviet-type, centralized decision-making to the new

form of business organization, that is, the self-man-

aging (or labour-managed) firm. With the increasing

autonomy of enterprises in their operations, manage-

ment and decision-making, the new institutional sys-

tem needed an increasing number of highly educated

economists. This was in line with the fast develop-

ment of all educational forms and levels in the coun-

try, including higher education.

31II GROWTH • Towards a Modern School (1952-1967)

Under fast economic growth of the country, the Fac-

ulty of Economics also recorded dynamic develop-

ment. The number of students was steadily increas-

ing, so that in the early 1960s, the Faculty had over

5000 students. Nearly 3000 were regular students,

while about 2000 were part-time students, who

worked while studying. The number of graduate stu-

dents also increased each year, thus reaching 600-

700 (1959/60 – 432; 1961/62 – 564; 1962/63 – 747; 1963/64

– 710; 1964/65 – 660).

The number of teachers was also increasing. In con-

trast to 1947, when teaching activities were carried

out by only 22 teachers and teaching assistants, while

15 on part-time basis, their number already doubled

in the mid-1950s. In the early 1960s, the Faculty had

more than 100 teachers and teaching assistants em-

ployed. At that time already, many of them belonged

to the generations of students who graduated from

the Faculty of Economics in Belgrade.

In 1952, the Faculty of Economics moved to the new

building in which it is still located. In the immediate

post-war period, the HSEC resumed its teaching ac-

tivities at 4 Balkanska Street but in 1947 and as a new

faculty within the University of Belgrade, it moved to

the Law Faculty premises. The lasting solution was

found in 1952 – before the end of the year, the Faculty

moved to the new building.

The testimony of Obrad Vidojević, PhD, who

enrolled in the HSEC in 1938 and graduated

from the Faculty of Economics

In the immediate post-

war period, when I was

a student, we took part

in the construction of

the building in which

you are now studying

with our bare hands.

When we heard that

the Faculty building would be constructed,

we spontaneously found its site and rushed

to it. We, including my future wife and myself,

formed a line and began passing bricks, sand and

gravel from one to another… And then we were

driven away by tradesmen, because this became

dangerous due to the height… Something within

us was burning with the desire to see our building

one day.

32 THE FIRST AND THE ONE

Since the new building

was not purpose-built

for an educational insti-

tution it had to undergo

many improvements in

the subsequent years.

The major work was car-

ried out in 1961 and 1962,

when three large amphi-

theatres were added to

the building.

The Faculty pursued an active and dedicated policy

and investments in the development of its human re-

sources. In the immediate post-war period, the Fac-

ulty made an all-out effort to bring together as many

renowned and experienced economists as possible.

It also invested a lot in the advanced training of its

best students and teaching assistants. As early as the

1950s many of its future teachers were often sent for

specialization and advanced training to the most-re-

nowned foreign faculties and universities, including

the Universities of Cambridge and London, Harvard,

Berkeley, Sorbonne, as well as other renowned higher

education and research institutions (Brooking Institu-

tion), or special seminars (Salzburg Seminar, etc.).

The first PhD thesis was

defended at the Faculty

of Economics as early

as 1952 (Mirko Dautović,

later a professor at the

Faculty of Economics).

Since 1953, the number

of PhD candidates and

defended PhD disserta-

tions has been stead-

ily increasing. Among new PhD degree holders in

Economics there were many future professors at the

Faculty of Economics in Belgrade. This points to the

attitude of the Faculty of Economics, as a relatively

young school yet concerned with a relatively young

academic discipline, towards the creation and devel-

opment of its junior teaching staff, that is, its new and

powerful teaching base, as it will be soon realised.

However, during that period, many other renowned

economists and professors outside Belgrade also

obtained PhD degree from the Faculty, including M.

Djurović, later a professor at the University of Monte-

negro and academician, H. Hadžiomerović, professor

at the University of Sarajevo and academician (Bosnia

and Herzegovina), I. Perišin, professor at the Univer-

sity of Zagreb and academician (Croatia), N. Uzunov,

professor at the University of Skopje and academician

(Macedonia) etc.

33II GROWTH • Towards a Modern School (1952-1967)

In the 1950s already, PhD dissertations at the Faculty

were also defended by foreign candidates. The first

foreign student to defend a PhD thesis was Amaiso

Foli Prosper (The State and Problems of Agriculture in

African Countries /Tropical Africa and Kongo/ with a

Comparative Survey of Agricultural Development in

Yugoslavia) and was shortly after followed by Aung

Tein from Burma (Myanmar) and many others: with

the development of the Faculty, the number of foreign

PhD candidates – mostly from the third world coun-

tries – was steadily increasing.

34 THE FIRST AND THE ONE

Master Studies (magisterium) have also been intro-

duced at the Faculty of Economics in this period. They

have been introduced by the academic year 1960/61.

Upon their completion, the students acquired the

MSc (MPhil) Degree in Economics.

The first such studies in 1960 were structured in five

educational profiles and aroused great interest in the

first year already: Economic Development (42 enrolled

students); Market and Market Trend Analysis (16);

Business Economics 1 (24); Business Economics 2 (34);

Operations Research (28). Altogether there were 144

enrolled students.

These data point to the pretty modern approach of

the Faculty, which was geared to the programmes

with significant applicative potentials. One can also

observe the market orientation of postgraduate

studies. At that time, the main task of the MSc pro-

grammes was to create new, junior scientists and

orient them toward scientific and analytical work, as

well as to prepare young experts to enter government

and business careers. Until the mid-1960s, several ad-

ditional profiles were added: International Economic

Relations, and Accounting Analysis of the Firm; Agri-

cultural Economics; Transportation Economics.

Undergraduate curricula underwent significant

changes until the mid-1950s. Until the academic year

1956/57, the Faculty adopted the new curriculum. It

defined more precisely the areas of specialization of-

fered (which was only partly realized through the

previous curriculum). Under the new curriculum,

teaching was divided into two basic groups – group

A, which dealt with macroeconomic and theoretical

issues, and group B, oriented to economics of firms,

organization and management.

Since 1958, two programmes were offered – Econom-

ics and Enterprise Economics – while the number of

exams was slightly reduced so as to ensure more ef-

ficient and shortened length of study. This curricu-

lum was upgraded during the subsequent years and

the major changes took place in 1962 when two-level

teaching was introduced. It was aimed at speeding up

the preparation of students for business careers, low-

ering the costs and ensuring a more rational employ-

ment of experts. Two-level teaching meant two-year

teaching at the first level and two-year teaching at

the second level but only within the Enterprise Eco-

nomics profile (the Economics profile retained four-

year courses).

The evaluations of the Faculty bodies regarding new

organization were not fairly favourable: there was

a much greater number of students opting for four-

year studies and it turned out that some important

and fundamental economic disciplines were omitted

(specialization and skills preceded the acquisition of

basic knowledge). This resulted in the preparation of

a new curriculum, which was based on several basic

principles: (a) to provide all students with compre-

hensive basic knowledge in the field of economics,

(b) to acquaint the students of all educational profiles

with the operations and management of enterprises

and (c) to ensure a higher level of specialization and a

higher level of practical skills. The new curriculum be-

came effective in 1966.

The Faculty also expanded its activities outside Bel-

grade. In 1960, it opened a department in Kragujevac.

The objective was to uphold the demand for highly

educated economists in that city, which was a strong

economic centre at that time. The Department oper-

ated until the founding of the Faculty of Economics in

Kragujevac at the end of 1975, to which the teachers

from Belgrade continued to provide assistance in the

following years. Before it ceased to operate, the stud-

ies were completed by 929 graduate economists and

910 economists with a first-level diploma.

education in economics, but also a scientific institu-

tion.

The Faculty has been initiating or participating in

fundamental researches dealing specifically with the

development of the economic system, analysis of the

Yugoslav market, monetary and fiscal policies, etc.

In 1953, the Economic Research Institute was estab-

lished as an autonomous organizational unit. Also

the Documentation Centre of the Faculty, with an ex-

haustive subject catalogue, also evolved from it.

Since 1955, the Faculty has been publishing a re-

nowned journal Ekonomski anali (Economic Annals)

to which a great number of the local staff members

and other researchers have contributed.

The Faculty developed close relations with other fac-

ulties of economics in the country. In the first years,

inter-faculty conferences were regarded as an im-

portant form of cooperation. The venue of the First

Inter-Faculty Conference of the Yugoslav faculties of

economics was the Belgrade Faculty of Economics

(March 1950).The agenda contained issues concern-

ing teaching activities, curricula and syllabi, admis-

sion requirements and study rules, specialization

areas, textbooks and naturally, major social and eco-

nomic development issues.

37III DEVELOPMENT

III DEVELOPMENT (towards the end of the century)

In the mid-1960s already, the Faculty of Economics

became a renowned higher education institution

and one of Yugoslavia’s leading centres for higher ed-

ucation in economics. Its own human and scientific

resources, developed during the 1950s, provided a

significant basis for its further development.

In the early 1960s, the Faculty of Economics had over

100 full-time teachers and associates. In the mid-

1970s, their number reached 129 and this figure will

not be changed in the years to come (120-130 em-

ployed). In that period, the Faculty had 37 full profes-

sors, 18 associate professors, 22 assistant professors

and 35 teaching assistants (1972). This potential con-

tributed greatly to the improvement of education in

economics and the Faculty’s leading position in the

development of modern economists.

The Faculty of Economics also participated in the

establishment of new institutions of higher educa-

tion in economics within a number of new universi-

ties both in Serbia and outside. It participated either

directly in their formation or indirectly, through its

teachers who lectured in these institutions.

39III DEVELOPMENT • Development of Study Programmes

All this coincided with the country’s economic devel-

opment. In the mid-1960s, Yugoslavia initiated com-

prehensive economic reforms, which were geared

to the further development of a market economy. In

that period, the Yugoslav economy, including the Ser-

bian one, was at a medium development level. In the

second half of the 1960s, these reforms contributed

to the increased autonomy of enterprises, while the

country was increasingly opening itself not only eco-

nomically, but also from a cultural, educational and

tourism aspect. All this precipitated the need for the

further improvement of economists’ knowledge and

the introduction of new contents into the Faculty’s

curriculum and syllabi.

Although the 1970s were a relatively stable economic

period, the first serious signs of a crisis and slowdown

in development could already be observed at the end

of the decade. The indebtedness of the economy al-

most doubled (about 20 billion dollars) while the

rate of growth first declined and then, in the 1980s,

it came almost to a standstill. In a way, this was a

prelude to the tragic events in the 1990s. However,

despite such unfavourable trends, the Faculty of

Economics managed to maintain its dynamic devel-

opment, especially with respect to teaching and sci-

entific activities, for a long time, thanks mostly to its

own efforts, initiatives and funds.

Development of Study Programmes

By the end of 1960s and during the 1970s, most of

the teachers at the Faculty of Economics in Belgrade

were its former students. As is usual, this new gener-

ation of teachers, introduced many innovations into

the teaching process and syllabi. Between mid-1960s

and the end of the 1990s the three revisions of cur-

ricula took place

Undergraduate level (BSc)

The new curriculum was adopted in 1966. It differed

significantly from the previous curricula and reflected

the development level of the Faculty’s human and sci-

entific potentials. The curriculum offered five educa-

tional profiles: (a) Economic Policy and Planning, (b)

Economic Statistics and Cybernetics, (c) Enterprise

Economics and Organization, as the embryo of busi-

ness and economic and management studies, (d) Fi-

nance and Accounting and (e) Foreign Trade, intended

for economists who will engage in the country’s in-

creasing international trade. In 1970, a new educa-

tional profile was offered – Organization Science,

which was even more oriented to enterprise organi-

zation and management. In 1972, Transport and Tour-

ism were introduced as an educational profile. This

curriculum underwent more significant changes only

after a decade.

40 THE FIRST AND THE ONE

The curriculum, which came into force in 1976, re-

tained all major disciplines from the previous one, but

the overall organization of teaching was changed.

The first year of study was the same for all students

but since the second year, teaching was organized

into three programmes: Economics, Business Eco-

nomics, and Statistics and Cybernetics. In the third

year, three optional groups within the Business Eco-

nomics programme were set up (Organization, Mar-

keting and Finance and Accounting). In the fourth

year, Economics and Business Economics programme

included eight profiles: Economic Theory, Industry,

Agriculture, Domestic Trade, Foreign Trade, Trans-

port, Tourism and Banking. The Statistics and Cyber-

netics programme offered three profiles: Statistical

Analysis, Cybernetics and Actuarial Mathematics.

The system of study underwent a very interesting

and modern change (it reminds of some solutions of

the current study reforms concerning the organiza- tion of student learning and workload): almost all

teaching subjects lasted one semester; the weekly

number of hours could not exceed 30 hours.

Finally, the third curriculum in this period came into

force in 1987 and remained until the late 1990s. Apart

from the introduction of some new disciplines, this

curriculum was a combination of the principles ob-

served by the previous two. The first and second

study years were the same for all students, while in

the third year seven educational profiles were of-

fered (Economics; Marketing; Business Finance and

Accounting; Foreign and Domestic Trade; Finance,

Banking and Insurance; Tourism, and Economic Sta-

tistics and Informatics). It is interesting to note that

the new curriculum departed from the previous one,

which offered many more options for the students The celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Faculty of Economics in Amphitheatre 1.

41III DEVELOPMENT • Undergraduate level (BSc)

and more possibilities for elective teaching.

During this period the syllabi were changed to a sig-

nificant extent, which will remain the lasting com-

mitment of the Faculty according to the develop-

ments in economic thought.

These changes refer, above all, to the new contents

in the field of economics, with emphasis on micro-

economic and macroeconomic analysis but also

the scope of teaching in quantitative disciplines in-

creased (operations research, statistics, economet-

rics). Thus, as early as the 1960s, the Faculty became

the main institution for education in statistics and

the relevant doctoral studies.

On the other hand, the scope of teaching and stu-

dents’ interest in the subjects dealing with business

economics – including specifically marketing and

trade, decision-making, management and organiza-

tion – increased abruptly.

All these circumstances, due to which the Faculty of

Economics was often ahead of its time, contributed

to a significant extent to its fast development and

reputation as one of the major centres of economic

science in the country.

42 THE FIRST AND THE ONE

Master level (MSc or Magisterium)

During the 1960s and 1970s, the Programmes in Eco-

nomic Development, Business and International Eco-

nomics were organized each year. Within the scope

of these basic profiles there were also special ones:

in the field of Economic Development – Policy of Eco-

nomic Development, Agricultural and Transport Eco-

nomics (in 1974, the latter was transferred to the field

of Business Economics); in the field of Business Eco-

nomics – Trade, Tourism, Marketing, Organization,

Financial and Accounting Analysis, etc. The Faculty

also organized the Programme in Monetary Econom-

ics since 1970, as well as the Programme in Statistical

Analysis in Economics since 1972.

The development of specified disciplines and chang-

es in the economic situation required modifications

of MSc programmes during the 1980s. Thus, some

programmes were transformed into the new ones

and some new programmes were organized (De-

mography, Management, Enterprise Economics, Ac-

tuarial Mathematics). Each year, about 240 students

on the average enrolled in the MSc Studies, though

the number of defended MSc theses points to a high

student dropout rate.

During the mid-1990s, 19 postgraduate Master’s Pro-

grammes were organized on a regular basis, includ-

ing (in alphabetic order) Actuarial Mathematics, Ag-

ricultural Economics, Demography, Econometrics,

Enterprise Economics, Financial and Accounting

Analysis, Fiscal Management, Governance and Infor-

mation Systems, International Economics, Macro-

economic Analysis and Transformation of the Yugo-

slav Economy, Management, Marketing, Monetary,

Banking and Financial Management, Operations

Research, Statistical Analysis, Tourism Management

and Trade Management.

In the early 1990s, interest was aroused in a new

type of graduate education – one-year Specialist Pro-

grammes. With these programmes, as the new type

of regular graduate education, the Faculty expanded

its supply lastingly since 1994.

Doctoral level (PhD)

Until the mid-1960s, a Doctoral candidate could de-

fend his/her PhD thesis only on the basis of the its

positive evaluation and the candidate’s hitherto sci-

entific work. From the mid-1960s, it became neces-

sary to earn a MSc Degree.

The development of the Faculty and of scientific work

carried out by its teachers enabled candidates to de-

fend their PhD theses and earn a PhD Degree in three

scientific areas: Economics, Statistics and Organiza-

tion science.

A special recognition to the Faculty of Economics was

the University’s decision to select it as the main in-

43III DEVELOPMENT • Developing working conditions

stitution in charge of doctorates in Statistics, which

was a specific recognition to the scientific contribu-

tion of the teaching staff of the Faculty in that field.

It is also important to point to the separation of Or-

ganization Science as a special field, which was the

result of the Faculty’s scientific contribution to the

development of the relevant disciplines, which now

belong to the fields of Business Economics, Business

Administration or Management Science. They have

been developed at the Faculty since the early 1960s

so that its syllabi significantly differed from those in

the Eastern Europe.

Developing working conditions

Until the early 1990s, the Faculty of Economics was

constantly upgrading the teaching facilities, often

with its own funds, funds of its sponsors and, natu-

rally, funds of its founder. In the late 1970s, the old

building was extended by the annex with two 160-

seat lecture halls and new 20 lecture rooms with the

seating capacity of 40-80. With the addition of the

seventh floor, the number of the teacher’s offices was

increased; some lecture rooms were renovated and

the Faculty also obtained a cafeteria.

In this period, an increasing number of teachers be-

come involved in scientific work and the realization

of various projects for the Government and certain

ministries, as well as for enterprises, banks, profes-

sional associations, bodies of local self-manage-

ment, trade unions, etc. To make better use of its sci-

entific potential, the Faculty of Economics set up the

Centre for Scientific Research (NICEF) in 1974. During

the following years, the NICEF brought together a

great number of teachers and provided organiza-

tional assistance to the work of research teams. In

addition, cooperation with a considerable number

of renowned external researchers and research in-

stitutes, professional organizations and government

institutions – such as the Federal and Republican

Statistical Offices, Economic and Social Planning In-

stitute, National Bank and the like – was also main-

tained through the NICEF.

In 1980, the Electronic Computer Centre was estab-

lished and the Faculty obtained its first computer.

This was Honeywell – 6/43. Although small accord-

ing to its technical features, it was large in size and

installed in especially equipped and air-conditioned

rooms, as was required at that time. The comput-

er was primarily intended for teaching (students

learned the program languages Fortran and Cobol on

this computer) and for the teachers’ scientific work.

At that time, this meant an important work improve-

ment at the Faculty, while the Centre enabled a much

more serious work in the fields of statistics and infor-

matics.

Ten years later, the Centre changed its structure and

introduced personal computers into use. At first, it

introduced a smaller number of PCs AT 286 with 1MB

memory and in 1995 it acquired about 40 PCs AT 486.

They were connected into the network enabling ac-

cess to the Internet via University Computer Centre.

Soon afterwards, the Faculty established its net-

work, which enabled access to the Internet from all

rooms.

The Faculty also started its publishing activity, which

facilitated the acquisition of textbooks and made

Publishing Centre (CID) as a special organizational

unit. Over time, it will develop into a large publisher

of economic literature in the country.

On the occasion of 40th anniversary in 1977, The Fac-

ulty was decorated by the order of merits for nation

Students

As one of the largest faculties within the University of

Belgrade, the Faculty of Economics had a very large

number of students as early as the mid-1960s. Eco-

nomic reforms and a shift toward a market economy

were an attractive area of study for the young gener-

ation. However, the clash between the social norms

and the actual situation in the society meant for the

young generation of the late 1960s a call for action.

Like many world’s universities, the University of Bel-

grade was the venue of the student protest in 1968.

At that time, this was a surprising revolt of the young

generation against the state of Yugoslav society and

the abandonment of the proclaimed social values.

This influenced a leftist political orientation of the

demonstrations. Students requested more princi-

ples of equality, equal opportunities for all, as well as

greater justice in society, and were against the ‘red

bourgeoisie’...

The protest also took place at the Faculty of Econom-

ics. All teaching activities were suspended for seven

days being replaced by vivid discussions about the fu-

ture of the country and the orientation of its politics.

These events had a favourable influence on students’

activities: student participation in the governance

of the Faculty was increased; new student journals

(very critically intoned at times) were launched and

students became a more active factor of the overall

study process of the Faculty. So, in 1971, the journal of

the students of the Faculty of Economics, Glas ekono-

mista, was founded and in 1972, as the result of many

changes taking place after the student protest, the

function of the student vice-dean was introduced.

This rebellious spirit of students will be reawakened

during the 1990s. In the autumn of 1992, the students

organized the demonstrations against the country’s

isolationist policy. As part of the students’ action at

the University, the first petition for the resignation

of Slobodan Milošević was also signed at the Faculty

of Economics. The students’ action culminated in the

winter 1996-97, when almost the entire University,

including a great number of the students and teach-

ers of the Faculty of Economics, joined the massive

civil protest against the election fraud.

GLAS EKONOMISTA

Being supported

by the Faculty, the

Student Federation

– which was a mass

organization with many

clubs and specialized

organizations, most of

which are still active –

accepted the proposal

of a group of students

to launch a student

journal, which was named Glas ekonomista

(Voice of Economists). The first issue was

published on 29 March 1971. The initial circulation

was 500, but within several years it became the

journal of the students of the Yugoslav faculties

of economics, with the circulation of 30,000.

Glas ekonomista has been published for more

than twenty years.Demonstrations in 1968.

IV THE EVE OF 21st CENTURY

The nineties

The nineties were an extremely difficult period in Ser-

bia’s recent history. The economy was dramatically

weakened: Serbia’s GDP fell to about 40-50% of its

1990 level. This was partly due to the disintegration

of the Yugoslav market and loss of foreign markets

caused by the EU and UN sanctions but, even more

so, due to the devastating inflation of 1992-1994 and

Serbia’s absolutely wrong politics. Transition reforms,

which were initiated in 1989 and 1990, and brought

some stability, were abandoned in the 1990s, while

the internal political tensions were intensified.

institution in its scientific fields, some problems were

becoming increasingly serious. The Faculty entered

the year 1997, which marked the beginning of its sev-

enth decade, with a student strike and the suspen-

sion of the activities due to mass three-month dem-

onstrations in Belgrade, sparked off by the election

fraud and non-recognition of the results of the local

elections.

However, in 1998, the Serbian Parliament passed

the new University Law, which dramatically lim-

ited university autonomy. Under the new Law, the

Government had to appoint the rector and faculty

deans, who were given wide powers, including the

appointment of teachers, decision-making on their

promotion and the like. Like most faculties within the

University of Belgrade, the Academic Council of the

Faculty of Economics requested changes to the Law,

but it nevertheless came in force. All this had serious

implications for the work of the Faculty, its personnel

and enrolment policy, as well as for the regularity of

the entire teaching and educational process.

In 1999, the Faculty was faced with a new threat. The

three-month NATO intervention and everyday bomb-

ings caused the suspension of its teaching activities.

The location of the Faculty was rather risky – it was

in the vicinity of the Government and General Staff

buildings, which were bombed a number of times

during the intervention. The Faculty was also hit by

frequent power breakdowns, which caused damage

to its electrical wiring system and computer net-

work. Despite all this, the academic year was some-

how finalised while the new one started relatively

normally, considering great tensions in the society, at

the Faculty and, in particular, among students.

Revival

A major shift in the development of the Faculty oc-

curred after 5 October 2000 when – under great

public pressure and after mass demonstrations in

Belgrade, the victory of the democratic opposition

at the presidential elections was recognized. This

was an introduction to changes in other government

bodies after the elections staged early in 2001. This

also enabled the relevant changes at the universi-

ties and faculties. At the Faculty of Economics, at the

request of 98 teachers and associates, the Dean and

Vice-Deans resigned and their duties were assumed

by the Dean’s Board, elected by the Academic Council

as early as 1998. During the following months, two

teachers, who had been dismissed by the decision of

the former Dean, were returned to the Faculty, while

all teachers appointed solely by the Dean’s decision

(often against their will) the year before had to under-

go the standard election procedure. Thus, the Fac-

ulty created conditions for the resumption of normal

activities and the continuity of the academic rules.

However, the Faculty of Economics was still faced

with the difficult task – to make up for lost time.

During the following years, thanks to the efforts of

the entire Faculty staff, the teaching process under-

went major improvements; new syllabi were intro-

duced; working conditions were improved; enrol-

ment policy became transparent, and teachers’ work

with their students and students’ learning facilities

were improved. The Faculty also solved some inher-

ited problems – which resulted in the weakening of

the standards for academic conduct and ethics – and

effected the appropriate personnel changes, thus

strengthening its teaching and scientific potential

and credibility.

Also, the Faculty returned to the international aca-

demic community, which facilitated the introduc-

tion of many reforms that were already conducted at

many European universities during the 1990s. Scien-

tific work was also revived; an increasing number of

teachers and associates participated in international

conferences and contributed to international jour-

nals once again; the Faculty journal evolved into an

international journal and the old practice of sending

junior teachers to foreign universities for further edu-

cation was revived.

Thus, the Faculty of Economics became significantly

stronger and retained its position as the leading insti-

tution of higher education in economics and related

disciplines in the country, while at the same time en-

joying an excellent reputation in the whole region.

Gradual economic development, the stabilization of

macroeconomic conditions and accelerated transi-

tion to a market economy led to increased interest

in studying at the Faculty of Economics and boosted

the demand for graduate economists once again. The

Faculty conducted a survey which revealed that its

graduate students are in great demand by domestic

and foreign companies. This is also evidenced by the

fact that 93 per cent of them find employment in the

first year after their graduation.

fected the economy of the country as it happened

in many transition economies (even those that have

started their economic transformation much ear-

lier), the interest for studies in Economics remained

huge. Moreover, graduates from the Faculty of Eco-

nomics are still highly demanded despite a growing

number of higher schools that offer similar study

programmes. In our view this kind of a competition is

only to confirm the achieved excellence of the Faculty

of Economics.

As one of the largest faculties within the University of

Belgrade, with about 8000 students, the Faculty of

Economics in Belgrade now a days represents a sig-

nificant medium-sized university in itself.

As a member of the University of Belgrade, it is try-

ing its best to meet and exceed University’s criteria of

excellence. Being proud on the tradition of the Uni-

versity of Belgrade, the Faculty endeavours to make

its own contribution to its traditional values. Also, as

an educational institution founded once outside the

University and bearing in mind its size, scientific po-

tential and the scope of scientific areas covered, the

Faculty of Economics is developing its own criteria

of excellence and cherishing its own tradition as a

big, renowned and autonomous institution of higher

education.

Governance and Organization

The Faculty of Economics operates as an independ-

ent higher education institution within the Univer-

sity of Belgrade. Its founder is the Republic of Serbia.

The main governing bodies of the Faculty are:

Council

The Council is the Faculty governing body. It has 23

members, 15 of whom are the Faculty representa-

tives, 4 are appointed by the Serbian Government

and 4 are elected by the Student Parliament. Out of 15

Faculty representatives, two are elected from among

the non-teaching staff.

Dean

The Dean is the executive body and the leading figure

of the Faculty. The Dean is assisted by the 2-4 Vice-

Deans. Apart from the Vice-Deans who are elected

from among the teachers, one Vice-Dean is elected

from among the students.

Academic Council

The Academic Council (AC) is the highest professional

Faculty body. The AC is comprised of all teachers and

teaching assistants employed. Also it comprises rep-

resentatives of the student parliament when discuss-

ing teaching issues. The AC also makes decisions in a

special composition as the Election Council in elect-

ing candidates for teaching positions (the composi-

tion depends on the type of elections).

In decision making the AC rely on proposals prepared

by its standing committees and chairs.

The standing committees of the AC are:

• Committee for Undergraduate Studies

A session of the Faculty Academic Council.

Chairs

The Chairs are academivc organisational units that

are organized around one or more related scientific

areas (that include related teaching subjects). Its

members are the teachers and associates elected for

the corresponding scientific area. The Faculty has the

following chairs:

• Chair of Economic Theory and Analysis• Chair of Economic Policy and Development• Chair of International Economic Relations• Chair of Business Economics and Management• Chair of Accounting and Business Finance• Chair of Statistics and Mathematics

Student Parliament

The Student Parliament is the body through which

students exercise their rights and protect their inter-

ests at the Faculty. Students elect their representa-

tives to the Student Parliament directly, by secret

ballot. The voting rights are enjoyed by all students

enrolled in any of the study programmes in the aca-

demic year in which the elections for the Parliament

are held. The Student Parliament was elected for the

first time in the academic year 2006/07.

Apart from the Chairs representing academic units,

the remaining organizational units of the Faculty are

centres, and administrative and professional services.

54 THE FIRST AND THE ONE

Teaching

Undergraduate Studies

After 2000, the Faculty started to apply a number

of higher education reforms based on the Bologna

Declaration even before it was officially signed by the

Government. Regarding the reforms, the Faculty of

Economics has a relatively long tradition, since some

similar ideas were already applied in the past (since

1987, all teaching subjects have been organized in

one-semester terms; in the mid-1980s, the student

survey was introduced as an evaluation method; con-

tinuous testing for some subjects as an element for

the final grade were practiced as early as the 1960s

etc.).

During the 1990s, there were several attempts to

upgrade the curriculum. Finally, the new curriculum

was adopted in mid-2000 but without an analysis of

the relevant programme contents. However, soon

after the adoption of this curriculum – which intro-

duced nine study programmes to be profiled in the

second year of study – it turned out that this project

did not correspond to the requirements spelled out in

the Bologna Declaration.

In 2001 and 2002, the debate conducted at the Fac-

ulty pointed to necessary changes in the curriculum,

though its basic structure (nine educational profiles)

was retained. As the result of these discussions, the

curriculum was defined by using the new assessment

method, at the level of 60 ECTS points in each year

of study, regardless of the educational profile. During

2005 and 2006, the new syllabi were also adopted.

In 2007 during the new accreditation process the pro-

gramme took its final form. It is defined as a unique

programme with common subjects within the first

two years of study and with 9 elective modules af-

terwards. The common content is due to a relatively

undeveloped labour market demand for economists

that prevents students to definitely expect a specific

and/or specialized job after their graduation.

56 THE FIRST AND THE ONE

Enrolment

Great interest in enrolment in the Faculty of Econom-

ics calls for constant care about the enrolment re-

quirements. Enrolment in the Faculty over the past

five years is shown in the following table.

The Table shows that students’ interest in enrol-

ment in the Faculty of Economics, is constantly high

and that the share of enrolled candidates varies usu-

ally between 78-85% (however, subtracting those en-

rolled in distance learning programme this rate goes

to around 65-70% of all candidates)

The studies for students financed by the government

are absolutely free. Self-financed students pay the

tuition fee that covers all costs, including all text-

books but can acquire the status of the student to be

financed by the government if they meet all defined

requirements.

After 2000, the Faculty opted for a lower enrolment

rate for two reasons: first, the lower number of en-

rolled candidates enables better individual work stu-

dents and improves the conditions of work in general

and, second, an analysis showed that a much larger

number of students (from the years prior to 2001) in-

creased the average length of studies.

On the other hand, an analysis showed an increased

interest in enrolment in the Faculty by candidates

with very high average secondary school grades.

Regardless of the total number of enrolment candi-

dates, the share of excellent students (the average

secondary school grade higher than 4.5/5.0) is ex-

ceeding 50%, while the share of very good ones (the

average grade between 3.5 and 4.5) is above 40%.

This led to the conclusion that the number of enrolled

students should be increased, provided that the con-

ditions of work and study were improved. This policy

resulted in an increasing number of graduates.

Entrance Exam

The ranking of candidates is based on their secondary

school grades (maximum 40 points) and the success

shown at the entrance exam, which is comprised of

two tests. The first test asks candidates to demon-

strate their general knowledge gained in secondary

school (maximum 30 points). The second test is in

an elective subject area (maximum 30 points; elec-

tives are mathematics, computer proficiency, basics

of economics and enterprise economics). Testing is

anonymous and simultaneous for all candidates.

During the past years, candidates had to receive the

following number of average points at the entrance

exam to be enrolled in the Faculty of Economics: 80-

85/100 for students to be financed from the budget

and between 65-75/100 points for self-financed stu-

dents.

Benchmarking

During 2003, the Faculty organized the research pro-

ject relating to the best practices at foreign faculties

(primarily in Europe) and their comparison with its

own practice. This research revealed some weak-

nesses, but also the good results achieved by the

Faculty. Within the scope of this research project,

special attention was devoted to the stakeholders’

views on the Faculty, their needs and evaluation of its

hitherto work. It also showed that our institution en-

joys a high reputation and that its results are closely

monitored, while at the same time pointing to the

desirable changes. This research created a basis for

the Faculty’s new activities, including the work on

new curricula and syllabi, as well as the elaboration

of the basic work and study standards guaranteed by

the Faculty.

Teaching Standards and Quality Control

Under the project launched in 2003, the Faculty was

the first in the country to prepare the basic materials

for the introduction of the basic quality standards in:

(a) the preparation for teaching, (b), conduct of teach-

ing, (c) conduct of exams, (d) adoption of textbooks

and (e) elaboration of seminar and final papers. Based

59IV THE EVE OF 21ST CENTURY • Student Survey (Evaluation)

on the important results of this project, the students

were provided standardized information about the

programmes and their objectives, teaching sched-

ules, pre-exam obligations, exams and examination

methods, etc. The major result of this initial stand-

ardization effort was the introduction of a number

of innovations into the teaching process, examina-

tion method and forms, method of work during the

exercises, etc. On the basis of this project, four years

later the Republican Accreditation Committee has

adopted general standards that should be applied in

all higher educational institutions in the country. The

compliance with these standards is the subject of a

constant critical analysis and further improvements

and is monitored by the two Academic Council com-

mittees.

Student Survey (Evaluation)

After a suspension during the 1990s, starting with

the academic year 2001/02 the Faculty conducted

two student surveys on a regular basis. One survey

examined teaching and textbook quality and assess-

ment objectivity, while the other was intended for

graduate students, at the time they received their di-

plomas. It included questions concerning the quality

of studies and whether any irregularity was observed

at the exams, including corruption. The Faculty also

set up special commissions with the aim to organize

these surveys and address the evaluation and qual-

ity control issues in general. The survey included the

questions about teaching quality, as well as the qual-

ity of textbooks and assessment objectivity.

Since 2007, student surveys have also been recog-

nized within the University of Belgrade, so that now

all faculties apply the same survey methodology

languages:

• Management and Business Economics, a

course developed jointly with a leading European

Business School, HEC, Paris. Admission is allowed

to all students with a faculty diploma, regard-

less of their previous studies. The aim of the pro-

gramme is to educate future managers – creative

and enterprising business leaders.

• Macroeconomics of Transition Economies, a

course jointly organized with the Sophia Antipo-

lis University of Nice. Students receive two diplo-

mas: one of the University of Belgrade (Master)

and the other of the University of Nice (Master).

• International Master in Quantitative Finance

(IMQF). The programme is designed for the best

and most valuable young people, who are pre-

pared to deepen their knowledge in the field of

financial theory and practice by using quantita-

tive methods, in addition to their business orien-

tation.

63IV THE EVE OF 21ST CENTURY • Doctoral Studies

Doctoral Studies

The total number of Doctors of Science, who earned

this degree at the Faculty of Economics from 1952 to

2012 increased to over 740.

Since the year 2008 the Faculty organizes the new

Doctoral Studies. The new system requests the en-

rolment of PhD candidates, taught subjects and con-

stant work with teachers during the elaboration of

their dissertations. All students who enrol in the PhD

Programme have to attend a specified number of lec-

tures in the relevant research methodology and work

on the specified programmes, which are adjusted to

the candidates’ scientific interests.

PhD candidates work with at least two or more pro-

fessors (mentors’ committee) with whom they mas-

ter the specified aspects of their research. During

their three-year studies, they publicly present the re-

sults of their work and are obliged to publicize some

results of their research projects. The defence of the

PhD thesis is the ultimate step.

Research

Centre for Scientific Research of the Faculty of

Economics (NICEF)

The Centre for Scientific Research of the Faculty of

Economics in Belgrade (NICEF) was established in

1974. With more than 1,000 projects and studies

completed so far, it is one of the most prominent in-

stitutions concerned with economic development

and fundamental research in the country.

During the past decade, it carried out hundreds of

projects, innovation and company courses, con-

sulting activities, symposia and the like. Among its

clients are Government and ministries, public and

private enterprises that include: Železnice Srbije (Ser-

bian Railways), NIS a.d. (Serbian Oil Industry), Novi

Sad, Telekom Srbija a.d., Kostolac Open Pit Mines,

Elektroprivreda Srbija (Electric Power Industry of

Serbia), PD RB Kolubara d.o.o., Nikola Tesla Airport,

Belgrade, etc.

The NICEF maintains intensive cooperation with the

The Foundation for the Advancement of Eco-

nomics (FREN)

The Foundation for the Advancement of Economics

(FREN) was established in 2005 to promote academ-

ic research in Serbia and build the body of knowledge

for economic decision-makers.

The FREN’s basic activities are geared to the reali-

zation of its own research programme; provision of

support to the research that deepens and advances

theoretical and empirical knowledge in the field of

economics, especially with respect to the Serbian

economy and transition processes in the countries

of South Eastern Europe; the application of contem-

porary economic research and analytical methods;

the promotion of cooperation among similar institu-

tions in South Eastern Europe and the integration of

regional economic thought into the global scientific

networks and trends.

Among the FREN’s most important project is the

Quarterly Monitor of Economic Trends and Policies in

Serbia (QM), a publication that systematically moni-

tors macroeconomic, corporate and financial trends

and policies in Serbia. It comes out in Serbian and

English and is also posted on the FREN website.

65IV THE EVE OF 21ST CENTURY • Journals

Journals

Economic Annals

Economic Annals is the scientific journal published

by the Faculty of Economics since 1955 (Ekonomski

anali). Over time, its editorial policy, editors-in-chief,

editorial board and sections have changed just like

the society itself. Nevertheless, the journal has sur-

vived for 57 years and so far more than 190 issues have

been printed.

Today, Economic Annals is an international jour-

nal with a strong international editorial board that

gather many prominent scientists in the field of eco-

nomics and is listed in many data bases for journals.

According to the evaluation of scientific papers and

journal quality made by the Ministry of Culture, Eco-

nomic Annals ranks for years among the top journals

in the field of social sciences in the country. According

to National Library Citation Index it is the most cited

economic journal in the country over the past years.

Economic Annals is published quarterly in English lan-

guage and can also be found on the Internet: http://

anali.ekof.bg.ac.rs.

Ekonomske ideje i praksa

Ekonomske ideje i praksa (Economic Ideas and Prac-

tices) is a newly established scientific journal of the

Faculty of Economics (established in 2011). It is pub-

lished quarterly in Serbian language with abstracts in

English.

66 THE FIRST AND THE ONE

Scientific Society of Economists in Serbia (NDES) and the Faculty of Economics

The Scientific Society of Economists in Serbia (NDES)

is a selective scientific association of economists,

who are elected according to the procedure specified

by its Statute. To become its members, economists

must be engaged in scientific and educational work

in higher education and research institutions, in Ser-

bia and abroad.

Within the NDES acts the Academy of Economic Sci-

ence (AEN) with a small and limited number of elect-

ed members. Currently it has 13 full members and 10

members.

The NDES has its premises in the Faculty, while the

Faculty has become its major partner in various ac-

tivities.

The main activities of the NDES are the organization

of scientific meetings, fora, round tables, as well as

the conferences devoted to topical issues. Each year,

the NDES organizes three conferences jointly with

the Faculty of Economics in Belgrade, with partici-

pation of other economic faculties in the country.

They are devoted to Serbian economic policy and to

the transition and the EU accession issues, and bi-

annually to global economy and business economics.

So far, more than 50 books related to these meetings

have been published.

67IV THE EVE OF 21ST CENTURY • Library

Library

The Library is one the pillars of scientific work and

education at the Faculty of Economics. It was estab-

lished immediately after the founding of the Higher

School of Economics and Commerce and until the

beginning of the war its holdings included more

than 8,000 books and other publications. After

World War II, the Library’s holdings were increasing

at a fast pace, so that as early as 1950 it had approxi-

mately 60,000 items. At the beginning of 2000, its

holdings included more than 300,000 items. Since

the relevant literature can be increasingly obtained

by electronic means and after an analysis of the Li-

brary Board, the Faculty gave almost 40,000 books

and other publications to the University Library,

while about 20,000 items were sent to other insti-

tutions, or were written off due to wear and tear. At

the same time, for 12 years already (in some cases

even longer), the Faculty has been subscribed to the

most important databases. Thanks to the facilities of

our Information Technology Centre, all these sources

are accessible from all rooms, that is from almost all

computers at the Faculty.

The Library is continuously supplemented by new ti-

tles, especially after the introduction of the practice

that each teacher can order selected new literature

to the amount of several hundred euros once a year.

The Library is also subscribed to 20 domestic and 35

most important international journals. In the late

1990s, the documentation centre was computerized,

so that all data on available literature are accessible

online. The Library is also connected to the University

and National Libraries by electronic means. Adjacent

to the Library are three reading rooms with the seat-

ing capacity of about 200.

68 THE FIRST AND THE ONE

Publishing Centre – CID

The Publishing Centre of the Faculty of Economics in

Belgrade (CID) is an organizational unit of this Faculty

and a profit centre specializing in the publishing of

textbooks and other professional literature in print

or electronic form. The CID has been operating since

1991. Today its current annual production is over 80

titles.

Although it operates within the Faculty, the CID is

among the major publishers in South Eastern Eu-

rope, specializing in the best quality works in the

fields of theoretical economics, international eco-

nomics, banking, management, marketing, or-

ganization, business finance, accounting, statistics,

mathematics, informatics and the like. Therefore,

the CID proudly exhibits its slogan: “treasury of eco-

nomic knowledge“.

As a profit centre, the CID operates in the name and

for account of the Faculty. The Centre is run by the

Director who is appointed by the Dean of the Faculty

from among the teaching staff. The organizational

units of the Centre are the technical services section,

the bookshop and the storage of printed publications

and office supplies.

Among the CID’s most interesting undertakings is a

special edition – Translations. This expanding edition

includes the world-renowned textbooks, written by

Dictionary of Economics should be also mentioned

as a unique project in the region. The Dictionary has

over 7,000 entries. It is published in two colours and

in hardcover. In most cases, the entries are also given

in English.

The CID is regarded as an indispensable support to

the teaching and scientific process of the Faculty of

Economics in Belgrade, as well as to the teaching, sci-

entific, technological and business processes outside

the Faculty, in the Republic of Serbia as well as in the

region.

The International Book Fair, which takes place at the

Belgrade Fairgrounds each October, provides an op-

portunity for its special promotional activities. The

Faculty of Economics takes an active part in this

event through its Publishing Centre. During the past

decade, the Faculty of Economics also participated at

the Frankfurt and Paris Book Fairs through the Pub-

lishers’ Association of Serbia and Montenegro.

70 THE FIRST AND THE ONE

Information Technology Centre – CIT

In the mid-1990s, the development of the Electronic

Computer Centre (ERC) assumed new dimensions.

At the end of 1995, the Centre was completely reno-

vated. It obtained new computers for its two new

rooms intended for teaching activities as well as for

all teachers’ rooms and services. Its computer equip-

ment had the best features at that time: PC AT 486,

colour monitors, keyboards and mice. The acquisition

of screen projection equipment also improved teach-

ing quality. Thus, the Centre became the nucleus of

the information system of the Faculty of Economics.

Until the mid-1990s, the Faculty’s single local area

network (LAN) was built, so that all teachers’ offices,

services, centres and student organizations, as well

as the lecture rooms and halls were networked. At

the same time, the Faculty local area network was

connected to the Computer Centre of Belgrade Uni-

versity (RCUB), as the hub for the national Academic

Network. So, the Faculty became part of the Aca-

demic Network, the first Serbian network with ac-

cess to the Internet.

In 1997, the Faculty obtained its Internet domain,

while the Computer Centre installed the Faculty’s

first Internet servers. The Centre’s capacity soon be-

came insufficient to meet the increasing demands of

the teachers and students for the use of the comput-

er and network resources.

In 2001, the third computer room for students (Room

C) was provided, including a complete floor network

installation for 21 workstations and the last genera-

tion computers. The Centre also provided the new In-

ternet services, such as the web and e-mail services

for students. The new Faculty web presentation was

also designed. In the period 2001-2003, the Faculty

also acquired a number of video slide projectors, thus

contributing to the improvement of teaching qual-

ity in the Centre and in the Faculty as a whole. Since

2003, the Centre’s facilities have also been accessible

to distance-learning students.

In 2004, the Centre obtained the fourth room, Room

D, equipped with a complete floor network installa-

tion, 45 workstations and the last generation com-

puters.

In 2005, the lecture rooms and halls were equipped

with multimedia equipment. Twenty one lecture

rooms were equipped with fixed desktop computers,

as well as a special table and ceiling-mounted video

slide projector, thus improving the quality of the

teaching process to a significant extent.

At the end of 2006 and the beginning 2007, the prem-

ises for International Graduate Studies were pro-

vided, including the network with 50 connections,

as well as a room with 15 computers for students.

Modern equipment for the video-conference system

(Polycom VSX 8000), with other accompanying au-

dio-video equipment, was also purchased.

In 2006, the Electronic Computer Centre evolved into

the Information Technology Centre (CIT). The new

name was adopted due to the expansion of the Cen-

tre’s activities. Apart from its technical support to

the modernization of the teaching process, the CIT is

closely linked to the Faculty’s administrative and pro-

fessional services and centres. It participates in main-

taining diverse applicative software, administers and

maintains the local area network, various on-line

services of the Faculty, performs the servicing of the

Faculty’s computer and networking equipment and

the like.

72 THE FIRST AND THE ONE

International Cooperation

Since 1992, after the imposition of sanctions by the

EU and UN, the Faculty of Economics, which was

maintaining intensive long-standing international

scientific and academic cooperation, lost contact

with most of its foreign partners, as well as the part-

ners from the former Yugoslav republics. Even the

individual contacts weakened due to the visa regula-

tions for Serbian citizens.

In the second half of the 1990s, almost the only

contact of the Faculty with the international aca-

demic community, albeit weak, was the Associa-

tion of South Eastern Europe Economic Universities

(ASECU), founded in 1996 (an initiative of the Univer-

sity of Macedonia in Thessalonica).

Since 2000, one of the most important objectives of

the Faculty of Economics has been to renew, estab-

lish and promote international cooperation. In 2001,

the Centre for International Studies and Cooperation

was set up with a view to promoting cooperation

with foreign faculties, monitoring and initiating in-

ternational projects, and carrying out other related

activities.

Since then, the Faculty of Economics has participat-

ed in a number of important international projects

funded by the European Agency for Reconstruction

(EAR) and other international sources and participat-

ed in several international research projects organ-

ized with British, Italian, Slovenian, Greek and other

research institutions on a bilateral basis.

International teaching projects have been of special

significance for the Faculty as an educational institu-

tion. The Faculty has established several internation-

al study programmes at the master level. The Faculty

also participated in three TEMPUS projects.Philip Kotler’s lecture, 2007

73IV THE EVE OF 21ST CENTURY • International Cooperation

During the past years, the Faculty also organized

a number of international conferences and other

meetings. As early as 2001, it organized, together

with the Scientific Society of Economists, the con-

ference devoted to transition and privatization in

Serbia; in 2003, the Second Conference of ASECU, in

2004 the Eighth Conference of the European Asso-

ciation for Comparative Economic Studies (EACES).

Next year, another international workshop on pri-

vatization in Serbia was organized in cooperation

with the EACES. In 2007, a large international con-

ference was held marking the 70th anniversary of

the Faculty with more than 200 participants from 52

countries. In 2009 another international conference

was organized about the global crisis and in 2012 the

75 year jubilee conference “From Global Crisis to Eco-

nomic Growth – Which Way to Take?” The Faculty

also organizes other international scientific and ex-

pert meetings and round tables in cooperation with

various scientific and professional associations (such

as the Scientific Society of Economists, Association

of Actuaries, FREN, etc.), or autonomously.

All this also contributed to the much greater mobil-

ity of teachers and students. During the past years,

some 60 teachers and assistants attended various

specialization, master and PhD programmes in high-

Students mobility has also expanded in direct ex-

change and/or in special programmes such as Danu-

bia summer school, a joint project of Danubian coun-

tries supported by the Austrian Erste Bank.

There is also an increasing number of visiting pro-

fessors from various foreign universities, who come

either to deliver special lectures, or for regular teach-

ing. During the past years, there were 50 or so foreign

visiting professors, mostly within the scope of various

programmes. Many public figures from abroad also

come gladly to lecture at the Faculty of Economics.

Finally, the Faculty of Economics has revived its co-

operation with numerous foreign faculties, research

institutes and other professional organizations from

the former Yugoslavia, Europe and the rest of the

world. The Faculty is a member of several large net-

works bringing together the faculties of economics

and social sciences (CEEUN, RESEGE etc.). .

77IV THE EVE OF 21ST CENTURY • Career Advice Centre

Career Advice Centre

The Career Advice Centre was established in 2003.

Since the establishment of the Foundation of the

Faculty of Economics, it has significantly intensified

its activities, helping the students attending the Ba-

sic and Postgraduate, that is, Undergraduate Stud-

ies to select an appropriate orientation when seek-

ing employment. The Centre helps students to find

their first job, arranges for their consultations with

career guidance experts, organizes tests, seminars

and courses, and the database, which simulates the

labour market. The Centre also has agreements with

some companies, enables their presentations and

meetings with students, organizes employment and

career fairs, as well as other activities facilitating stu-

dents to find adequate employment.

Marketing and Public Relations Centre

In 2007, the Faculty established the Centre for Mar-

keting and Public Relations, whose aims are the con-

tinuous monitoring of changes on the educational

market and the provision of information and other

assistance to potential candidates for enrolment,

journalists, representatives of government institu-

tions and non-governmental organizations, busi-

ness partners, educational institutions at all levels,

as well as other stakeholders of the Faculty. In the

first months of 2007, the Centre’s major activities in-

cluded the organization and conduct of an informa-

tive campaign for the enrolment of candidates in the

academic year 2007/08. This campaign included the

Faculty presentations in secondary schools, partici-

pation in educational fairs and the organization of

visits to the Faculty of Economics in Belgrade.

78 THE FIRST AND THE ONE

The Foundation of the Faculty of Economics

The Foundation of the Faculty of Economics was es-

tablished in 2004 in order to support students’ work,

award students and encourage their research activi-

ties. During the past period, the Foundation awarded

the best students, participated in the establishment

of the Career Advice Centre and the promotion of the

Faculty of Economics among secondary-school stu-

dents. The Foundation especially helped the estab-

lishment of the database on all students of the Fac-

ulty, their employment and further training.

Students and Student Organizations

With about 8,000 students (or over 10 per cent of

the total number of university students), the Faculty

of Economics is one of the largest faculties within

the University of Belgrade. This fact already points

to a very active social life of its students which takes

places through their organizations, journals and the

like. The student organizations operating within the

Faculty are the Student Federation, Student Union,

AIESEC, Sports Club, various working groups and

a special form of work – the Marketing Workshop.

79IV THE EVE OF 21ST CENTURY • Student Parliament

Since 2006, there has been also the Student Parlia-

ment of the Faculty of Economics, which was consti-

tuted after the elections at which the students voted

for their candidates from twenty or so lists of candi-

dates.

Over the past years, the Faculty has invested a con-

siderable amount of money in the improvement of its

teaching activities and students’ social life. Thus, the

Faculty is the venue for various events, which take

place in the evenings and are mostly humanitarian

in character. There is also the Student Club, where

students can meet, talk or refresh themselves when

making a break during learning.

Our students also participate successfully in the so-

called Economic and Managerial Games, knowledge

and skill tournaments that bring together twenty or

so faculties and advanced schools in the fields of eco-

nomics or business economics. In this jubilee year of

The Student Federation of the Faculty of Economics

The Student Federation of the Faculty of Economics

(SSEF) is a student organization which has been op-

erating within the Faculty of Economics since its es-

tablishment. By its activities, the Student Federation

promotes the ideas of students’ organizing, student

solidarity, tolerance and, in particular, freedom in the

presentation of the student potential, development

of critical thinking and personal involvement in over-

coming problems.

The Student Union of the Faculty of Economics

The SUEF was formed at the height of the student

protest in December 1996. One of the most impor-

tant aims of the Student Union of the Faculty of Eco-

nomics (SUEF) is the improvement of the study condi-

tions. In addition, it is concerned with the protection

of student interests, promotion of the economic pro-

fession, maintenance of international cooperation,

as well as the promotion of tolerance among people.

It also initiated the journal of the students of the Fac-

ulty of Economics, MonopolList.

81IV THE EVE OF 21ST CENTURY • The AIESEC at the Faculty of Economics

The AIESEC at the Faculty of Economics

Five years after the opening of the first AIESEC Office

in the world, in 1953, AIESEC Yugoslavia was founded

at the Faculty of Economics in Belgrade. During the

following decades, the AIESEC at the Faculty of Eco-

nomics helped opening other AIESEC offices in the

country. Today, the AIESEC at the Faculty of Eco-

nomics is not only the largest office due to the size

of membership, but also due to the high quality and

number of the hitherto results. This organization

helps young people to develop their skills, such as:

leadership, communications, organization and plan-

ning, project management and the like.

MonopolList

The journal MonopolList was launched in May

1997. From a two-page pilot project it evolved,

over time, into a 48-page journal. It became

known for its sharp and well-argumented critical

views. In its first years of existence, it happened

that it was deprived of its working premises,

that the police confiscated all copies and that

the journal was forbidden by ministerial decrees.

Due to its interesting background and often

ironical style, the articles from MonopolList

were often quoted in the major journals. In a

textbook used at the Faculty of Political Science,

MonopolList is given as an example of a special

form of journalism – feature journalism. Since

November 2006, MonopolList has been part

of the European network of student journals

(Student Press in Europe – SPINE).
