Marija Bogdanović

Manager of DIMAK Serbia

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.

Svjetlana Djokić

National coordinator in Serbia

I plan and coordinate activities across all our operational areas, from project planning to actual work such as providing counselling to returnees. I’m passionate about helping people. When they get in touch with us, I speak with them to find out what kind of help we can offer them. I look forward to speaking with you.

Tamara Vučenović

In addition to all the services that DIMAK provides, my speciality is psychosocial counselling. I can help you if have psychological or social problems or if you feel isolated or excluded. I’ve been helping people who were forced to flee conflicts or disasters for over 20 years.

Katarina Peško

Have you just come back to Serbia from another country? I’m a lawyer, and I have lots of experience in giving advice to migrants. In other words, I can provide you with all the latest official information you need and I can give you legal advice on your new start in Serbia. I’m also happy to help you in your search for a suitable job, study course or vocational training in Serbia.

You’re welcome to talk with me if you need help after coming back from another country. Together we’ll find a way to improve your qualifications, and with it your job opportunities. I’ve got many years of experience in working with disadvantaged people who need support.

Marija Branković

Communications specialist

I assist the DIMAK advisory team when it comes to quickly and efficiently organising the information you need to come back to Serbia or to improve your quality of life. My job is also to make people more aware of DIMAK’s aims and services. I also look after our network of partner organisations.

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.
