Summary/Abstract: Slavic philology, in its various institutional forms, has a long-standing tradition at the University of Bucharest, from the first lecture by the great Slavic scholar Ioan Bogdan in 1891 on the significance of Slavic studies for Romanian culture, to the Higher Education Reform of 1948, when the first Slavic language lectureships were established. Among these was the Serbian language lectureship, led by Bogoljub Pisarov, beginning in the 1949-1950 academic year, a landmark moment for Serbian studies in Romania. In its current structure, at the Faculty of Foreign Languages and Literatures, one of the largest and most important higher education institutions of the University of Bucharest, with a rich tradition in teaching foreign languages and literatures, ten Slavic languages are studied: Bulgarian, Czech, Croatian, Macedonian, Polish, Russian, Serbian, Slovenian, Slovak, and Ukrainian. Over the three-quarters of a century of the existence of Serbian (and previously Serbo-Croatian) philology and the continuous teaching of Serbian language and literature at the University of Bucharest, more than 350 specialists have graduated, over 45 generations of students who have successfully pursued careers in higher education, scientific research, pre-university education, diplomacy, culture, journalism, radio, television, multinational corporations, and other fields. This paper aims to provide a brief diachronic and synchronic overview of the Serbian Studies section, covering 75 years of academic activity, challenges, and future perspectives.
