Additional information
The Act of July 2003 stipulated that Diploma Supplement (Dopunska isprava o studiju) shall be issued by all higher education institutions. The Regulation on the Content of Diplomas and Additional Documents on Studies adopted in December 2004 determines the content of the Diploma Supplement and stipulates that it will be issued to students entering higher education in 2005/06 academic year, upon their graduation. Some higher education institutions have already been issuing Diploma Supplement at the request of students graduating before 2006, in English and in return for payment. With amendments to the Regulation on the Content of Diplomas and Additional Documents on Studies, adopted at the end of 2006, the Diploma Supplement will be issued automatically upon graduation, free of charge and in a widely spoken European language.
