Together with the creation of the first Student Union, an idea of truely independent student organizing was born. From the 1992, the number of Unions is rapidlz increased, and the wish and need for cooperation, coordination and strengthening aroused. Therefore, the Student Union of Serbia (SUS) is formed in November 1998. Founded as umbrella organization, on the principles declaired in the Student Union Charter, on freedoms of human and citizents, on freedom of organizing ad on the idea of education that encourages understanding, tolerance and friendship, SUS gathered young enthusiasts who continued to spread the Student Union ideas."
