The programme aims to provide the young professionals of the region (Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo*, Macedonia and Serbia) with an opportunity to discuss and compare the experiences of their societies with the processes of reconciliation and transition in the region by using the European integration as a tool. Through comparative and multi-perspective approach and visits to governmental, non – governmental and academic institutions in Belgrade, they will come up with common conclusions about dealing with the past, the future of European integration of the region and the perspectives for regional cooperation in future. The project will also allow the participants to exchange ideas about overcoming the biggest obstacles in transition, and spread them further in their communities by becoming Youth Reconciliation Ambassadors.
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.
