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.

GavriloNikolic P2P Photo1My peer2peer education was organized on 27.12.2012. in cooperation with European movement in Serbia and Generation 21. It was part of long term program ” Applied diplomacy ” , which lasts for 11 years so far. Every year ” Applied diplomacy ” program gathers around 30 international relations and international law students from University of Belgrade in order to give them practical advises and needed practical knowledge in the area of diplomacy and international negotiations.

I’m alumni of this program, since I was participant last year, as a member of jubilee 10th generation of the program. This year, I’m also active in program, but from the other side. I was hired as assistant coordinator for the project and I hope that this will be my entrance ticket into European movement in Serbia. Beside assistant coordinator duties, I was given permission to perform peer2peer education regarding reconciliation process in region with special emphasis on conflict resolution issues with peaceful means. This was first time for 11 years, that alumni of the program delivered speech in front of another generation as audience.
