The goal of the fair is to enable young people to choose their future schools, with help from Novi Sad’s 13 faculties, eight Belgrade faculties, leading private faculties, high schools, open universities, and agencies.

Also present at the fair will be the first private higher school, the American College of Management and Technology (ACMT), based in Dubrovnik. The ACMT will present its programme “Management in Tourism”.

Opening the fair, Vuksanovic said that the writing of a Draft law on higher education was finished yesterday and added that the text of the document is in line with nearly all European standards, yet adjusted to specific needs of a country in transition.

According to Vuksanovic, the Draft law will be publicly debated over the next two weeks and its adoption in parliament is expected by April 2005, ahead of an international conference in Bergen, Norway, where Serbia is due to present a report on harmonisation of the domestic education system with the Bologna Declaration.

Vuksanovic stressed that the draft law adopted last night by the rectors of all Serbian universities is “another road to Europe”.
