Неки проблеми страних студената на југословенским универзитетима шездесетих година XX века, с посебним освртом на афричке студенте
Some Foreign Students' Problems on Yugoslav Univesities During Sixties, with Special Turning on African Students

Summary/Abstract: Yugoslav policy towards countries of the Third world found its expression in the Non-alignment movement. Wishing to make those relations even much stronger, Yugoslav Government decided to give great number of scholarships for students from Africa and Asia. This was a kind of promotion of Yugoslav regime and country, and a way to tide up future elite in those countries for Yugoslav political system and culture. However, certain problems showed up at the very beginning of the exchange program. We can divide those problems into three groups: 1. tehnical problems with accomodation, language and faculty's bureacracy, 2. political problems with organizing of national and political organizations, 3. and social problems related to integration in Yugoslav society. Focus is on the three most prominent problems: language, political organization and perception of foreigners in Yugoslav academic society. Two last problems were related to the attitude of Yugoslav authorities on one side, to provide full control over every segment of political life of foreign students and to good reception of African and Asian students who were getting some propaganda advantages and benefits, on the other side. Very often though, foreign students were asking for more acting freedom and independency in political life and Yugoslav students very often missunderstood aims and goals of state policy towards African and Asian students, which all led to conflicts and fights among those groups.
