Ekaterina is currently spending the autumn semester 2025/26 at Faculty of Economics University of Banja Luka, participating in academic activities, exploring local culture, and building connections with fellow students.
Her impressions and reflections on the exchange:
"This is my first time traveling to Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Balkan region. Before arriving in Banja Luka, I was in Belgrade. It is one of the most beautiful cities I have ever seen, with fascinating culture and architecture.
Regarding the educational process, I would like to thank all the professors. They provide practical cases, which are much more interesting than just learning theoretical materials.
Moreover, I have met students from other faculties, and together we attended a student concert and several other events organized by student organizations. I explored the city, visited the castle, one of the famous churches and mosques, and walked along the Vrbas River. Banja Luka is a very beautiful and amazing city with incredible nature. I also visited Jajce, Krupa na Vrbasu, and Banj Brdo. In the near future, I would like to go to the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Sarajevo. I am very happy and wish good luck and wonderful experiences to all participants in the exchange program."
