Danas: Government expected to adopt university state-funded quotas on July 2

Danas reports that Serbia's government is expected to adopt state-funded enrollment quotas for public higher-education institutions at its Thursday, July 2 session. According to the paper's sources, faculty-proposed quotas will not change, but the decision is unusually late: it is normally adopted in May, while this year's first enrollment round began without an official number of state-funded places.

Decision on state-funded quotas at the government session on July 2

(Danas saznaje: Odluka o budžetskim kvotama na sednici Vlade 2. jula)

Danas, citing several sources, writes that the government should decide on state-funded quotas for public higher-education institutions at its July 2 session. Faculty-proposed quotas, according to the sources, will not be changed. Authorities have not publicly explained why the decision is so late; unofficially, the delay is linked to status changes at some institutions, including the Faculty of Serbian Studies. Danas notes that the decision is usually adopted in May, while this is the first time the first enrollment round began without information on the number of state-funded places; last year the state tied quotas to faculty operations and make-up classes after blockades.
