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?

The topic was: The reconciliation between Kosovo and Serbia as a way to get into the European Union. It was organized in form of a debate between me as a Youth Reconciliation Ambassador and the high school students.

Explain the reaction of the participants on your speech.

They seemed satisfied with the discussion and seemed very interested in participating in the next generation of YRA-s.

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

What I have noticed was that they were actually kind of ready to forgive in order to move on.

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

How did you go there? Was it dangerous? What city is Belgrade? What are the people? Did you talk Albanian there? What did the minister say about our situation? When will they accept Kosovo as a country? These were the most common questions and I gave them honest answers and told them things I heard and saw in Belgrade.
