Damir Hasanović is a second-year student of Political Science at the Faculty of Diplomacy and Security in Belgrade. An aspiring diplomat, he has developed experience across the multilateral policy space, with a particular interest in European affairs and foreign policy. He currently serves as Spokesperson of the Danube Youth Council within the EU Strategy for the Danube Region (EUSDR) and as Lead for Policy & Research at JEF Serbia, where he contributes to analysis and policy discussions on European integration and external affairs.

Damir is also a member of the global youth network Our Voices Our Future, implemented by the European External Action Service, which aims to strengthen youth engagement in EU foreign policy, cohesive policies and democratic processes.

His academic and professional focus lies in peacebuilding, conflict studies and foreign policy, particularly in the Western Balkans and the EU’s role in the region. Through his engagement as a Peacebuilding Fellow within UNDP’s Youth 4 Inclusion, Equality and Trust Fellowship, he has translated this focus into practical regional experience in dialogue and initiatives building social cohesion.

As a Young European Ambassador, he aims to contribute to constructive dialogue on peacebuilding and regional cooperation in the Western Balkans, while offering a pragmatic and realistic perspective on the EU’s external engagement and enlargement policy.
