description The European Higher Education Area (EHEA) has existed since the signing of the Bologna Declaration in 1999, and during the first decade major changes were recorded in the system of higher education levels, ensuring its quality and internationalization. Each change led to the challenge and prevention of initiatives, which concerned a large number of countries included in the space. Despite the complexity of the process, there have been enough positive developments, because the present EHEA has transformed into a real, not an imaginary phenomenon, as evidenced by the constant accession of new countries over the past two decades. Today, the EHEA covers approximately 38 million students with an average allocation of approximately 0,95 % of gross domestic product (GDP) for education. In most countries, the percentage of allocation was stable or it was decreasing, which suggests that the demand for students was not correlated with allocations. The inclusion of higher education institutions in Serbia in the Bologna process required a rational solution while maintaining the existing national education and respect for foreign education. After 15 years, there are still tangible differences between domestic and European education. The application of European experience and the coherence of national and European education imply the solution of a number of problems both at the state level and at the level of each university / faculty. The article analyzes the state of higher education institutions in Serbia in comparison with the EHEA in terms of the number of students, the number of universities, teaching staff, allocation (costs) per student and the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.
