Once the law on the establishment of the new institution was introduced in 2015 University of Osijek applied to the Constitutional Court of Croatia claiming that Croatian authorities violated the principle of academic freedom by the decision to extricate it's faculties in Slavonski Brod which together with local polytechnic constituted the basis for the new university.
