My name is Jelisaveta Tasev and I will be the Chair-lady of this year’s Council of the EU simulation. I got my LL.B law degree in 2010 and I am currently pursuing an LL.M degree in Business Law. I have participated in a number of International Model United Nations conferences and I have considerable experience both as a participant and as a chair. This will be my first time taking part in the organization of a Model EU and I have high expectations of this upcoming event. I truly believe that BEUM 2011 will live up to my expectations and I am looking forward to meeting all of you here in Belgrade because I know we are bound to learn new things and have endless fun.

My name is Olga Kalašić and I am currently an OSI Scholar at University College London doing a taught Master’s degree in Institutions, Development and Globalisation. My attention to international relations and the European Union in general increased decisively in my first year of undergraduate studies at Faculty of Economics Finance and Administration, where I attended several conferences concerning the European integration process and the role and importance of development of Serbia in many areas of its policies. Furthermore, I have gained a lot of experience in international relations by organizing the Belgrade International Model of the United Nations, where I represented Austria in the Security Council in 2009 and where I was the Vice-Chairperson in the General Assembly in 2010.

Hello Everyone! My name is Despoina Papadopoulou, I’m 20 years old and I come from Greece. My field of expertise is International and European studies, a path I decided to walk when I was introduced to the inner workings of grand scale organizations such as E.U, through the Euroscola program. The MUN virus was the next step and so after my first MUN and 10 MUN after that one, in one year, I am happy to come back to the crime scene as a chair this time around. In addition to that I am an intern to the UNESCO Center for Women and Peace in the Balkans where my love for anything that has to do with human rights (especially those of children and women) is fully expressed. BEUM and wonderful Belgrade here we come !
