Summary/Abstract: The University of Sarajevo’s commitment to be active as an important academic center in the Southeastern Europe has been based in history, and substantiated by the paradigmatic case of the Bosnian question in Europe. This paper tracks the University of Sarajevo’s record in implementing three Bologna Process aspects – adopting a system with three cycles oriented towards building competences, shift in ways of governing and establishment of a new financing model, starting with the subscribing to the Magna Charta Universitatum and across the leading role in harmonizing with the European higher education and research areas principles. The necessity of introducing a systemic measure that will release creative energy and enable the University’s assuming more efficient role in the social development, followed by the responsibility in whose nature is taking care of the B-H society’s future instead of any particular interests, is pointed at.
