      The "German Information Centre for Migration, Training and Employment" in Belgrade helps returnees from Germany and other countries to reintegrate socially and economically into life in Serbia. The centre also advises locals about the new career opportunities in their own country.

      DIMAK provides advice and support and its topics include:

      • Return and reintegration
      • Vocational guidance and job hunting in Serbia
      • Starting a business in Serbia

      • Psychosocial support

      We offer you individual advice in our DIMAK offices, by phone or via WhatsApp, e-mail or Facebook Messenger. Please arrange an appointment for advice either in person or by phone. This enables us to plan enough time for you and your questions. All our advice services are free of charge.

      DIMAK also works closely with the National Employment Service in Serbia and its migration service centres in Belgrade, Niš, Novi Sad, Novi Pazar, Kruševac, Kraljevo and Bor. Our centre also takes part in job and careers fairs that are held across the country. These events are organised by the employment service and exist to match jobseekers with employers in Serbia. 

      DIMAK also cooperates with various district and national institutions, civic organisations, initiatives and projects. We can therefore offer a comprehensive advice service. Our partners include:

      • The Ministry of Labour, Employment, Veterans and Social Policy of the Republic of Serbia
      • The Serbian National Employment Service

      Happy to be home again

      My name is Zagorka. I’m 28 years old and live in Knjaževac in Serbia. I am divorced with two children, and I spent a long time trying to establish a life for myself in Germany. But it never really felt like home there. Our asylum application was refused so we came back to Serbia, where a short course training as a beautician has allowed me to gain a foothold in the industry.
