I have participated in BIMUN 2010, 2011 ThessisMUN 2011, NATO Model in 2011 and others. I have been practicing public speaking since high school years and am a part of the Debate Club at my faculty with whom I have participated in domestic and international tournaments. Apart from my time at BEUM I am also a volunteer at Transconflict fund where I try to provide analysis on current issues regarding Serbian foreign policy. My personal interests are EU integration, Serbian foreign policy, conflict resolution, Middle East, peace studies and comparative politics. I am fluent in English, and speak French and German moderately. I see BEUM as a great learning experience and place to meet people and exchange ideas about the future of European Union.

Erdem Tascilar – Vice President

Hello everyone, I am Erdem Tascilar, I come from Turkey and am on my way to my last year at Yeditepe University. I study international trade and business. Besides that, I am also willing to specialize in diplomacy and politics as well. I started attending MUN conferences in 2008 and since then the number of the conferences that I have attended has reached over ten. Having spent about a year in the board of y-mun club, I am willing to continue my MUN carreer experiencing my first time in being a guest chair. Encouraged by the topics that we will discuss throughout the whole conference, I can easily say that this experience will be unforgettable and I am so honored to attend BEUM in its first time. I believe a committee board has to have a great synergy first and foremost to reflect over you honorable delegates and we, as European Council board have that great synergy. See you for now!.
