Helo,
My name is Aida Mahmutović, from Sarajevo – Bosnia and Herzegovina. I am currently studing Law at University of Sarajevo.
I am very interested in comeing to Slovenia as an exchanged student, but as I can see this does not apply for students from BiH.
Even though I was sure that our country also has bilateral agreement.
So, are there any other scholarships in Slovenia that actually include students from Bosnia and Herzegovina?
Thank you very much for your answer in advance.
Greetings from snowy Sarajevo

Dear Aida,
I don't know why this scholarship does not apply to your country, but as you can see from the ex-yu countries it does not apply to Serbia as well. Very strange. My advise would be to check with the embassy, and your Ministry of education and see if there is any opportunity to go and study in Slovenia. You can also check our website for any scholarships for Slovenia, none come to mind right now, but you could also check our Universities database for Universities in Slovenia, and maybe you can write to them or check their websites for any scholarship opportunities.
Best of luck
Elena
