Representatives from the Ministry of Youth and Sport, American Embassy to Serbia, the US Agency for International Development (USAID) and the municipality of Loznica signed last Friday a memorandum on cooperation concerning the development of the government’s Office for Youth in Loznica.

Minister of Youth and Sport Snezana Samardzic-Markovic said that there are approximately 250,000 young unemployed people in Serbia.

She voiced her hope that the 60 government Offices for Youth, set up all over Serbia, will enable Serbian youth to participate in the creation of new social values.

American Ambassador to Serbia Cameron Munter said that the memorandum implies further development of the Serbian youth.

He noted that reforms will enable young people to employ themselves through entrepreneurship.
