My job is to ensure that everything runs smoothly at DIMAK. In my management studies, I also specialised in the networking of relevant people in Serbia and the EU, especially in Germany. The economic empowerment of socially vulnerable groups is really important to me. Both myself as well as the entire DIMAK team are there for you. I can help you, no matter whether you need support on arrival after coming back home from another country or whether you’re looking for training and work opportunities.
