The first attempts date back to the 1970s, but at that time the idea was still premature. The country in existence at that time did not allow for such discussions. After the assumption of independence of Slovenia, the hopes of having its own university in the southeast region reignited. Individuals and groups started with many activities and the possibility of establishing a university was becoming a reality. However, it should be noted that despite all efforts after twenty years there still is no university. Local and national authorities were changing and no one expressed anything against the establishment. Even local politicians included the establishment of a university in their program platforms; however till this date there still is no university. Will it finally happen?The article describes a model using fuzzy logic to determine the possibilities of establishing a university in relation to local and state interests. %K university %K fuzzy logic %K fuzzy reasoning. %U http://www.fos.unm.si/media/pdf/RUO_2012_16_Usenik__Janez.pdf
