Abstract

In this paper, we present the University of Sarajevo, its main characteristics through history. The main theme of the work is the languages studied in Bosnia and Herzegovina, more precisely at this university. We will explain the language policy that is in force when it comes to official languages/language in the country and support it with national and regional ecologies. We will show how much foreign languages actually have at this university, i.e. an unfavorable and uneven position, given that they are studied in very small numbers at several faculties, and therefore work should be done on the introduction of foreign languages into curricula. In the paper, we will also look at the importance of international cooperation, which contributes to the spread of foreign languages and better visibility in other European countries.
