The University of Mostar has entered a new era of stability, growth, and excellence by transitioning to a new model of financial efficiency. This strategic move, marking the final phase of financial integration, has laid the foundations for long-term sustainability, strengthening of human resources, and improvement in student standards.

The new financial management model is already showing tangible results – the average salary increase for all professors and employees is an impressive 48 percent, with some faculties experiencing increases of over 60 percent. In doing so, the University of Mostar has recognized and concretely rewarded the excellence, dedication, and patience of its staff.

This success is the result of the visionary and tireless work of the leadership of the Croatian National Assembly in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Governing Council of the University of Mostar, the counties of its founders, and especially the strong and strategic support of the Government of the Republic of Croatia. Through the joint efforts of all these stakeholders and partners, the University of Mostar has strengthened its strategic, organizational, and development capacities, reaffirming its role as a European and global academic player.

With the achievement of financial stability, the prerequisites for strong advancements in demographic and educational policy have been created. The University is already actively working on new models to exempt a significant number of students from enrollment fees, thereby contributing to the region’s demographic development.

We proudly highlight a 19 percent increase in student enrollment in the current academic year, as well as the University’s continuous rise in international and global rankings.

This victory would not have been possible without the patience, faith, and loyalty of our professors and staff, nor without the open dialogue and cooperation with the newly established Union of the University of Mostar, to whom we also express our gratitude for their partnership and contribution to the shared goal – strengthening the academic community and creating a better university.

The University of Mostar continues on the path of internal organizational excellence, stronger connections with the community and strategic stakeholders, and transformation in the face of future challenges.

This is a victory of knowledge, unity, and vision. This is a triumph for the University of Mostar.
