Bosnians decry lack of support

Article Abstract:

Bosnian higher education has been neglected by Europe, according to officials from Bosnia and Austria an a meeting in Austria in April 1996. Austria is supporting some Bosnian students in higher education. The vice rector of the university of Sarajevo, Faruk Sijaric, has called for European Union funding for professors to stay in sarajevo for a full year rather than a week. There is also a shortage of language teachers in Bosnia, and Bosnian students abroad should continue studying to help remedy this deficiency.
