The main celebration of EUSA’s 10th An-
niversary in 2009 was held at the General

eral Assembly was chaired by Mr Stefan
Bergh, who also led the first EUSA As-
sembly in 1999. The delegates approved
the reports of the Executive Committee
and Student Commission, annual ac-
counts, modification of the Statutes, activ-
ity programme and provisional budget
for 2010. In order to improve the working
conditions of the EUSA Secretariat, the
decision to invest in the buying of the new
premises in Ljubljana was approved.

ing the achievements and development

organisation, the importance of coopera-
tion with the EU, and the topic of gender

bly itself, a Gala Dinner was organised.

tives of individuals on one hand and all
member federations on the other hand.
