Joining today's discussion with students on youth entrepreneurship were Damijan Sedar, Ambassador of Slovenia in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Mirha Skakić, founder of the nutrition center NutriSano in Tuzla, Kenan Suljić, founder of the D-App application and Mirjana Jovanović, founder and owner of the business concept Soul.
"It is an honour and a pleasure to be here today because it is really important for us, potential entrepreneurs, to hear all these inspiring stories", said one of the students of the Faculty of Business Economics in Bijeljina."It was very useful to attend this event, to meet young entrepreneurs and also Ambassador Sattler. I believe that it is very important for young people to know that they have support and that they can get this support from the EU. A friend and I will probably enter the competition that was presented to us because we are very creative and I think we can show it here",added also the student of the Faculty of Economics in Tuzla.The event ended with announcements of a series of activities with students that will follow in Sarajevo, Mostar, and Banja Luka, inviting them to participate in this year's Generation Change programme and eventually win a study trip to Brussels this summer.
In the coming period, the EU representatives, together with the EU Member States ambassadors, will meet with students from the remaining six public universities, as well as young professionals from different spheres of life. All events will be an opportunity to engage over 600 students from across the country in debates on various topics important for young people in BiH, as well as for Bosnia and Herzegovina's progress towards the EU membership.
