Google Classroom – 23rd March 2020

In accordance with the guidelines of the Ministry of Scientific and Technological Development, Higher Education and Information Society, as well as the Rector of the University of Banja Luka, classes in all subjects in the first, second and third cycle studies will be organized in the form of Distance Learning, starting from 23rd March 2020. The Faculty of Economics started this form of classes on 16th March 2020 through the mailing list and website of the Faculty, and from Monday, 23rd March 2020, we will be using Google Classroom in parallel.
Unfortunately, the society is in difficult situation but we need to use what we can in any hardship. In this case, we are forced to use this form of learning that has certain advantages that we would not have tried had we not been in this situation.

We will perform distance learning with the help of the Google platform – Classroom, which is a standard part of Google's online applications. You can find the instruction manual in the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=ye71VfdLb5g&feature=emb_logo  

When you start the Google Classroom application, in the upper right corner you will find a "+" sign and, by clicking this button you have two options ("Join class" and "Create class") ----> select the option "Join class" and enter the code: (the teacher should paste the code here)

Important Note: Students can only join Google Classroom from an email address of the domain student.ef.unibl.org. For this purpose, the administrator of the Faculty has opened e-mail addresses for each student. So, each student will use a new Faculty account tied to a Google server that is accessed through gmail.com.

The username is in the uniform form of name.surname@student.ef.unibl.org, with a few exceptions due to duplicate names and surnames. English alphabet characters, that is, Latin characters without diacritics, were used to create usernames. The password is the last 8 digits of a student's Unique Master Citizen Number (JMBG). You can access your email address with the Faculty's domain through gmail.com.
For duplicates in the first cycle studies, the year of enrollment was added (e.g. danilo.vukovic19@student.ef.unibl.org, jovana.popovic19@student.ef.unibl.org, marija.popovic19@student.ef.unibl.org, nikolina.skrbic19@student.ef.unibl.org, jelena.ivanovic17@student.ef.unibl.org, nemanja.savic15@student.ef.unibl.org), and in the second cycle studies the letter 'm' was added (jovana.cumbom@student.ef.unibl.org, aleksandra.graonicm@student.ef.unibl.org). Students with double surname add a hyphen between the two surnames in the email address.

In accordance with the Rector's order, this form of learning is considered compulsory, that is, it is considered that you are provided with lectures. Of course, in the case of justifiable reasons (primarily of a health nature) - there is an understanding.

If there are any problems entering the platform, please feel free to contact our network administrator Milan Damjanović, B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering at milan.damjanovic@ef.unibl.org.
We wish you successful learning and good health!

Our students in Mostar – 6-7th March 2020

The third and fourth year students of the Faculty of Economics of the University of Banja Luka had the opportunity to participate in a two-day workshop "Living and Working in BiH", held in Mostar on 6-7th March 2020. The aim of the workshop was to encourage and develop students' entrepreneurial ideas as well as their networking with colleagues from several public universities in BiH. The students were addressed by Mr. Sven Petke, Director of "Konrad Adenauer" Foundation in BiH, discussing the importance of developing an entrepreneurial mindset among young people. Additionally, students had the opportunity to hear entrepreneurs' experiences of doing business in BiH and the challenges they faced. However, the most important part of the event was the presentation of students' business ideas after which they could receive feedback from the audience, as well as ideas for improving the product and/or service. The Faculty of Economics in Banja Luka was represented by three teams of students who developed their business ideas during two business elevator pitching sessions as part of the subject Entrepreneurial Economics, and presented their ideas in a great way and showed that they were thinking about market gaps in an innovative way and that they were ready to offer solutions for missing products and services. Students traveled to the workshop with the support of the "Konrad Adenauer" Foundation as part of a cooperation with the Center for Project Management and Entrepreneurship (CPME).

ECO for PIF Conference held, 18-19.02.2020.

The conference "Protecting EU Financial Interests: Using Administrative Good Practices and Collaborating with Investigative Authorities" within the ECO for PIF project was held on 18.02.2020. in Banja Luka, the Administrative Center of the Government of Republika Srpska. This is the second of four conferences to be organized within the project, along with five webinars. The ECO PIF Project Coordinator - "Early Corrective Operations to Prevent Irregularities and Fraud by Administrative Measures and Active Learning" is the IPA Adriatic of the Abruzzo Region, and the project is funded by the EU HERCULE III program (2014-2020). The partners of the project are the University of Banja Luka - Faculty of Economics and Law, the University of Shkoder and the University of Rome Tor Vergata. For the purpose of providing specific technical guidance, the Abruzzo region has included in the project: the Ministry of European Integration and International Cooperation of the Government of Republika Srpska, the Anti-fraud Unit of the Council of Ministers of the Italian Council of Ministers of the Council of Ministers - European Policies Department, the Italian Court of Auditors, the Anti-corruption Authority and the European Anti-Fraud Office - OLAF.

The overall objective of ECO for PIF is to increase the level of protection of the EU's financial interests, through combined actions at the administrative level and through continuous training. The project intends to ensure co-operation on the protection of the EU's financial interests in Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Italy, with potential benefits that may extend to the Adriatic-Ionian region as a whole. The results of the project should serve to help address the critical issues of protecting the EU's financial interests. The contribution of the project can be viewed from several aspects: developing cooperation between institutions and states, training, prevention, detection and investigation of corrupt activities.

The conference was opened by the Minister of Economic Relations and Regional Cooperation, Zlatan Klokić, after which the participants were addressed by prof. Željko Mirjanić, Ph.D., Dean of the Faculty of Law and prof. Prof. Goran Popović, Ph.D., Vice Dean for Scientific Research at the Faculty of Economics in Banja Luka. The introduction to the program and the keynote speech were given by Paola di Salvatore, Director of the Territorial Cooperation Department of the IPA Adriatic of the Abruzzo Region, and then participants were addressed by Irene Sigismondi, ECO expert for PIF, also from IPA - Abruzzo Reggion. Diego Rasetti from OLAF, Federica Ferrauto, IPA webinar expert Abruzzo Reggion and representatives from Italy's AFCOS also gave a speech at the conference.

On the second day of the conference, a round table was held between the project coordinator, project team representatives from the Faculty of Economics and Law, and institutional representatives of the project partners.

For the University of Banja Luka, and especially the Faculty of Economics, which is responsible for the topic of the project, participation in the project and the Conference "ECO for PIF" is of great importance. The knowledge gained from the project will serve to enhance our capacity to combat fraud, strengthen the rule of law and adequate control exercised by various control bodies, courts, agencies and professional associations. The involvement of our students and teachers and networking at the interregional and international level strengthens the network of international contacts, expands the field of research and opens new perspectives for our researchers. Teachers and students are particularly important for training, training, study visits, bilateral meetings and project co-operation with competent anti-fraud structures in the EU and candidate and potential EU candidate countries.
