The vision of the Confucius Institute is to become a relevant source of knowledge on China in the Republic of Srpska. In addition to promoting the Chinese language and culture, i.e., presenting the Chinese language and culture to professionals and the general public, the Confucius Institute aims to advance the cooperation in the field of education between China and the Republic of Srpska and provide assistance in establishing cooperation between different institutions of the Republic of Srpska and the institutions of the People’s Republic of China. The Institute organises the Chinese language courses in primary and secondary schools as well as in higher education institutions and educates and informs the business society of the Republic of Srpska on how to do business with China, helping them master everything necessary to make their business with China and other Asian countries as successful as possible. By regularly organising educational workshops that promote the cultural values of the Chinese people, the Institute strives to enable the citizens to take an active part in the workshops and thus better understand and learn more about the different aspects of Chinese culture.

The Confucius Institute has eight employees: one home director, one Chinese director, two senior associates, and four Chinese language and culture professors. Ljiljana Stević, Home Director, has led the Institute since its establishment. Ying Cai (2017-2019) and Shen Li (2020-2022) were the Chinese Directors, and Luo Xiaoru currently performs this function.
