The University of Novi Pazar was founded in 2002 as a charitable endowment (wakf), with the aim of making education and the constant pursuit of knowledge a recognizable hallmark of the region, as the first university in this area. Leading this initiative was academician Muamer Zukorlić, supported by several associates. Thanks to the understanding of the then Prime Minister, Dr. Zoran Đinđić, a new university model was created, aiming to bridge gaps and offer a modern approach to higher education and science. The establishment of the University of Novi Pazar provided young people with the opportunity to acquire education, theoretical and practical knowledge, which they can apply in their country to build successful careers.
