Bosnia & Herzegovina - Unija studenata Republike Srpske (USRS)

Students' Union Republic of Srpska is umbrella student organization in Republic of Srpska. SURS was founded in 1999., and today it's only legitimately and legally students' body in our country. All universities in our country are members of SURS, both public and private. SURS is representing about 60 000 students in Republic of Srpska. SURS is strengthened by Law on Higher Education and Law of a Students' Union, on which students are particulary proud, because it's lex specialis.

SURS is a full member of ESU (European Students' Union), member of SEI (SouthEast Initiative) and MedNet (Mediterranean Network of Student’s Representatives) at the international level, and a member of Youth Council of Republic of Srpska and National Council of Higher Education, at the state level.

The main areas of work are education politics, social politics, international affairs and democratization of HE (which includes free access, participation of students in the decisions regarding them, adequate public financing, a reflexion about pedagogy and the quality of teaching in HE...).

Our headquarter is in Banja Luka, but we also have another office - Vuka Karadzica 30, 71 123 Istocno Sarajevo, +381 65 810 154.
