“Not only does it directly affects the modification of study programs to the real needs of personnel in the media market, but it opens up the recruitment possibilities of such formed and educated young people and is a good example for unemployment solution” said Cvetković.

This is because it is the only legitimate reason for a sense of meaning and function of higher education as a service economy”, said Prof. Andrejević.
