Ilija Stojanovic, Ph.d., Pmp

During my professional career, I took several responsible job positions related to international cooperation. In this regard, I participated in many projects funded by international donors, especially by the European Union. Knowledge and expertise in the field of European integration and project cycle management has been very important for my engagement within the process of European integration of Bosnia and Herzegovina. I also took part in preparation of several strategic documents important for overall socio-economic development of Bosnia and Herzegovina, including strategy paper in the field of public administration reform. My skills of project management I have successfully transferred not only through my regular job duties, but also through a numerous of training sessions and workshops in which I participated as a lecturer or a trainer. My core skill set contains a very relevant knowledge of project management which can be easily confirmed from my PMP - Project Management Professional certificate as well as certificate for ECQA EU Project Manager obtained from the European Certification and Qualification Association. My current position as a Head of Sub-Department for Official Development Assistance (ODA) and International Cooperation at the Government of Brcko District of Bosnia and Herzegovina has provided me with additional benefits in improving my expertise in related field. Development of skills in project management I also gained during my formal education. After obtaining PhD in economics at the Faculty of Economics in Banja Luka - Department of Management, my scientific research is also focused in the area of project management, but also in the area of development economics. My research activities and interests include sustainable development, good governance, public management and project management. I am a member of the Editorial Board of Science Journal of Business and Management (SJBM) and Scientific Committee for the REDETE scientific conference
