Mihailo Petrović

Country: Serbia

Interests: International relations, rule of law

My name is Mihailo Petrović, and I’m from Niš, Serbia. Having grown up in my hometown, I moved to Belgrade where I’m currently studying law. I’ve always been driven by the pursuit of new experiences, and so I’ve spent the past few years working in various different fields such as IT, insurance, sales, carpentry and tennis racket stringing. I’ve also been lucky enough to be offered internships in institutions such as the High court in Belgrade and the Ministry of Justice, and have attended summer law school programs in Belgium specializing in EU intellectual property and competition law.

Besides law, I’m very passionate about history, literature and languages. It’s also worth noting that I was born without fingers on my left hand. That probably sounds very dramatic but believe me when I say it’s not a big deal. I did, however, have to learn how to do most things my own way.

International cooperation and coexistence are some of my core beliefs – that is why I am here.
