Along with the establishment of Sarajevo University in October 1949, the Student Cultural and Art Association (KUD) "Slobodan Princip Seljo" Sarajevo was founded, including the Folklore and Choir Section as the first forms of students' cultural engagement in "Seljo". The intention was to enable students, in an organizational manner, to express their talents and gifts in cultural and artistic amateurism, through the academic approach. Over the time, "Seljo" has grown, matured and acquired facility- Sloga. Starting from an Student's over Academic, and later University Cultural and Art Association, it grows into the Academic cultural center of the University in Sarajevo. The youth enthusiasm moves "Seljo", new sections get established, some of which stop functioning, some of which change their names. The essential influence was made by the specific form of association in famous Sloga.

The conformism was never given way in "Seljo". The young people, and the older too, were heading against the conventionalism, which is the feature of the young people nature.
"Seljo" developed into a unique cross-point of genuine cultural initiatives and events. There is a testimony of this, contained in numerous prizes, medals, awards, aplauses of the delighted spectators and audience throughout the world, the contacts and friendships realised. "Seljo's" results go far beyond the borders set by standard amateurism interests and achievements.

From the very beginning this was a fertile soil for development of numerous personnel that will be incorporated in various parts of cultural life. Many of then started their careers and professional development in "Seljo", some stayed and some went on. There are numerous opera artists, conductors, recognised writers, prominent drama artists, dance and traditional dance masters, distinguished musicians and painters, scientists and show-business artists who started in "Seljo".
