Summary/Abstract: Many countries, especially small and underdeveloped countries of the world, increasingly search for new models that would help them attract young highly educated professionals to educate themselves in the high education institutions within their borders, thus influencing their better position on the global market. Relying on the push and pull factors’ theory, this research investigates the motives for studying in the host country, as well as international students’ intention to stay or leave the host country after finishing their studies. The paper uses an mixed methods approach to analyse the data received in all three phases of the research with Serbian students who are studying or studied abroad and foreign students who are studying or studied in Serbia.
