On Friday we had an extremely busy day! In the morning we went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
where we spent time looking at their new exhibit on Serbian history and the
history of Serbian Foreign Affairs.
After we went to the Institute of International Politics and Economics
where we discussed Serbia’s main Foreign Policies objectives and the
controversial issue of the recognition of Kosovo.

Typical Belgrade street.
I thought this was interesting... instead of gargoyles there is a man in a stance ready to behead a man. (see the statues on the left side of the building)
Our meeting with the Institute of International Politics and Economics
After our political meetings we met with a fun organization called e8. E8 works to improve
gender equality, civil engagement and health awareness among youth in
Serbia. The organization is made
up of fun and young employees that use creative tactics to improve key issues
in Serbia. It was really great to
see an organization that is incredibly inspired and enthusiastic about creating
a better social environment in Serbia.
Our last meeting on Friday was with our energetic professor,
Professor Lovely! It was the
second lecture on state building and tactics used for successful state building.
Professor Lovely is an incredibly
enthusiastic lecture and I am really looking forward to taking his class next
semester!
