EU OPPORTUNITY WEEK 2024

The EU Opportunity Week was a special occasion to introduce a wide range of opportunities in Serbia, offered to Serbian citizens by the European Union. The event, organized in cooperation with numerous Serbian ministries and European partners, involved live and online activities, including presentations, discussions and info sessions.

It was possible to attend the events in Belgrade and Niš, and for those not able to be physically present, the events were available online. This had a wide outreach in Serbia, ensuring the availability of information to everyone.

We also set up a networking area – all visitors could get directly in touch with the program representatives, and also meet those who managed to secure funds and implement their projects.

The main topics covered by this year’s EU Opportunity Week were economy, business, innovation, education, sport, culture, media, civil society sector, local development, energy, green transition and cross-border cooperation, which were discussed during the five-day campaign.

“We organize the EU Opportunity Week in partnership with the Government of Serbia, to introduce all the opportunities that the European Union offers to the citizens and institutions in Serbia. This is more than an event – it is a symbol of the deep and growing relationship between the EU and Serbia, and our common European future. The EU is not just a donor, but a committed partner in the growth, modernization, democratization and prosperity of Serbia, for the benefit of its citizens. Allow me to reaffirm today the EU’s unwavering commitment to supporting Serbia on its path to modernization, growth and EU membership. Under the new Growth Plan, the European Union has offered an unprecedented opportunity to speed up Serbia’s EU integration. All the opportunities that the EU offers to Serbia exist because the EU sees Serbia as a future member state. The success of Serbia is the EU success.”

Emanuele Giaufret, EU Ambassador to Serbia

“The essence of the EU Opportunity Week is to give us the opportunity to use the status of a European Union candidate country in the best way, or at least a better way than before. There are opportunities not only for the state, but also for each of us, from small and medium enterprises to non-governmental organizations at the local level. It is important we talk about the European integration process, because we would not be at this level if we did not talk, it would not even be possible. I hope that you will get answers to your questions, that new questions will arise, as well as new ideas.”
