Danijel Tadic bids farewell to the FMS after 10 years

After working at FMS for 10 years, Danijel Tadic decided it was time for a new adventure. He started his new job with the Police in early December. Of course, we cannot let his departure go by just like that, so we asked him some questions about the past 10 years.

Describe the FMS in 3 words:
Solidarity, adventure, changemakers

For FMS, you have made many trips abroad, which trip stands out to you the most and why?
It is a tough choice, but I will go for the trip to Suriname where we organised an online communication training. The neighbouring European Union countries, where FMS has many projects, are certainly different but also have many similarities when it comes to political dynamics, for instance. In Suriname, we discovered that political communication is just a touch different: it is much more abstract. In addition, we could not explain that our FMS trainers are not consultants who would tell training participants exactly what to do. But what I will remember most from Suriname is the diversity, the warm and happy people and the beautiful landscape.

You have dedicated yourself to the Balkan region for the past 10 years with great passion and pleasure, how do you see the future of the Balkan region?
Pfff...do you have a minute? I hope European integration continues so that young people in the region have prospects of a better future and do not leave their countries en masse. Developments in a country like northern Macedonia are cause for optimism: a new generation of younger leaders with democratic DNA are rising up and taking bold steps to bring about advances.

What will you miss most about the FMS?
The colleagues and the contact with our partners abroad. FMS is a very special club, working for a more just world with a small committed team and an incredible network of volunteers, empowering young people and women who are working, sometimes at the risk of their lives, for a better future.   

If you are within the Labour Party'sparty office should be allowed to choose a position which one would it be?
Not counting FMS, I would want to work in the communications team.

How do you like the first month at your new job with the Police?
Very good! A new world is opening up for me and I am learning a lot every day!

Who will win the Tour de France this year; Froome, Dumoulin , Roglic, Carapaz or Tadic?
100% definitely Dumoulin! If Bernal doesn't compete 😉

We would like to thank Danijel for a great 10 years and will of course miss him a lot, but above all we wish him a lot of success and fun in his new job!
