Summary
With more than 20 years of professional experience in local governance reform, social inclusion and sustainable community development, I offer a comprehensive understanding of municipal systems from both national policy and local implementation perspectives. My career includes over five years of service in national government and more than sixteen years in advisory and programme management roles within the national association of local authorities, focused on strengthening local development frameworks and improving accessibility and quality of public services.
This professional experience has provided strong operational insight into the practical functioning of municipalities, particularly in relation to intersectoral coordination, strategic planning and the implementation of locally relevant measures that contribute to improving citizens’ quality of life. Validated as an URBACT expert in September 2025, I currently support cities in testing participatory approaches and context-specific pilot solutions in areas such as circular economy governance, youth engagement and inclusive local development.
My background also includes substantial involvement in EU municipal exchange and cooperation programmes, facilitating institutional twinning, peer learning and the transfer of operational practices between local governments in the EU and Serbia.
I am motivated to contribute to URBACT networks by supporting cities in transforming strategic priorities into realistic and implementable local actions.
