The professional student internship is part of the Cooperation Program to support public administration’s engagement with higher education institutions in the educational process for the 2023/2024 academic year, coordinated by the Ministry of Public Administration and Local Self-Government.
The Office for Combating Drugs is conducting the student internship for the second consecutive year. The success of the project is evidenced by the fact that some participants from the previous cycle represented Serbia at the Youth Forum during the 67th session of the Commission on Narcotic Drugs in Vienna.
In April 2024, two female students from the Faculty of Political Sciences at the University of Belgrade completed their professional student internships at the Office for Combating Drugs, one being a master’s student and the other an undergraduate student.
During the internship, the students had the opportunity to become acquainted with the organization and operations of the state administration and the work of the Office for Combating Drugs. Additionally, through practical work and applying knowledge acquired during their studies, they participated in the activities of the Office and gained necessary skills for further development and advancement.
