  50 years of Belgrade Business School presence

The initiative for foundation of Junior Commercial-Business College was launched by the Society of Economists of Serbia, the then Chamber of Commerce (Federal Chamber of Foreign Trade, Federal Chamber of Industry and Chamber of Trade of the SR Serbia) and some banks (National Bank, Yugoslav Investment Bank and Association of the Communal Banks of Serbia).
