EU Information Network in Serbia project implemented by Eptisa SEE supported the EU Delegation to Serbia in organising of the first EU Opportunity Week. The series of events was organised in a partnership of EU Delegation and the Government of the Republic of Serbia.

The EU Opportunity Week entailed more than 100 sessions and panels, during which participants discussed economy, agriculture, business, education, youth, sports, culture, media, civil society, local development, and green transition with professional partners

The European Union offers opportunities for the citizens of Serbia to improve in all these, but also in many other areas. Over 3,500 people followed the event online, while over 1,800 visitors watched and listened to it live – in Belgrade, Novi Sad and Niš.
