Institute for European Affairs is focusing on negotiations between Serbia and the EU as well as on strengthening the capacity of all sides involved in the process. Given the complexity and long duration of the process, the Institute brings together a large number of professionals and external experts with whom organises trainings, debates and other forms of capacity development. We want to contribute to enhanced understanding of Serbia-EU relations. The Institute provides multi-perspective trainings in order to enable active participation of professionals and citizens in the decision-making processes. The Institute actively advocates for fundamental reforms within the EU integration process and in cooperation with partners working on strengthening Serbia's capacity to face the challenges of the global world through collective action. The overall objective is active membership of Serbia in Euro-Atlantic framework for the benefit of all citizens.

What was the topic of the discussion and how was organised?

Topic: YRA and Reconciliation and Regional Cooperation.

It was organized from my university in their premises. During the 1st activity there was a bug in the notification system so only 8 showed up. During the 2nd activity 20 + students showed up, unfortunately some of them did not sign the signatures form and came about 5 minutes late (after the photos had been taken).

Explain the reaction of the participants on your speech.

They enjoyed the presentation and thought the topic was interesting and different from what is heard every day on the media. Worth noting, during the 2nd activity I received a massive round of applause! 

Have you notice the impact of your lecture on the participants? Explain.

Yes, everyone was really focused at listening. They asked who the guy in the middle is during the ppt presentation (for Deputy Head of Parliament) and his thoughts on Kosovo. They were positively surprised to learn that his views on Kosovo were very cooperative regionally! In the end, my point was that one should not generalize and have prejudice with stereotypes no matter where someone comes from.

What were the questions posed by the participants and how did you react?

They asked about the Deputy Head of Parliament, how long we stayed there, how we were treated inside the Serbian govt. building and how many Kosovars we were there.
