Emilija says one of the biggest surprises in Slovenia was that cars stop for pedestrians

28.10.2024

The most significant difference noticed by the Mathematics student at the University of Primorska is the duration of studies: in Slovenia, it lasts 4 years, while in Serbia, it’s only 3. Another difference is that at the faculty in Belgrade, where her colleagues study, they still use physical index cards, whereas here, exam grades are already digitized. She chose the song Symphony by Zara Larsson.
