Director of the Higher Education Accreditation Agency of Republika Srpska along with associates from the Agency, held a meeting on 5th December 2018 with vice-rectors of the University of Banja Luka, professor Biljana Antunovic Ph.D. and professor Strain Posavljak Ph.D., and Vice-Rector of the University of East Sarajevo, professor Dejan Bokonjić, Ph.D.
Vice-rectors were informed about the current activities in the (re)accreditation process with special emphasis on the review of the study programs for the purpose of (re)accreditation of the institution and study programs. It was a pleasure to emphasise that most of the activities have been completed, but at the same time there is a concern about the continuation of obstruction by the Agency for the Development of Higher Education and Quality Assurance in BiH. In this regard, the agreed position is to discuss this issue at the next session of the Rectors' Conference of BiH, with the purpose of ceasing obstructions in the process of appointment of external evaluation panels. The topic of discussion was also the eligibility of universities’ participation in ERASMUS + projects and the need to inform the Education, Audio-visual and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA) on the status of accreditation of higher education institutions.
