Founder of ‘Ministry of Space’ and the Institute for Urban Policy and European Young Leader (EYL40)
Dobrica, from Serbia, has been active in the civil sector in Belgrade for the past decade, working for various NGOs and jumpstarting projects related to urban development and education. He has made it his particular mission to advocate for public spaces and to mobilise citizens to participate in the politics of city life. Dobrica is the founder of the collective ‘Ministry of Space’ and ‘Institute for Urban Policy,’ as well as the new political network ‘Civic Front’ – a network of grassroots initiatives and organisations from more than 20 cities in Serbia. He is also the leader of the citizen movement ‘Don’t Let Belgrade D(r)own,’ an initiative that formed in immediate opposition to the Belgrade Waterfront redevelopment project, but one whose broader aims include encouraging sustainable development and giving voice to citizens about the fate of their urban environments.
