The team from the Faculty of Organizational Sciences, University of Belgrade that will represent Serbia this year at the International Project Management Championship final in Athens consists of Jana Cekić, Dušan Delić, and Stevan Kulić.

The 11th National Project Management Championship PMC 2026 was held on Saturday, April 25, 2026, at Prostor Miljenko Dereta. Seven top teams from the qualification round were tasked with solving a case study.

The official opening was marked by a speech from Vladana Stepanović, President of IPMA Young Crew Serbia, who emphasized the importance of project management for future generations. The competitors were also addressed by Marija Ćosović, this year’s project manager of the competition. We also had the great pleasure of hearing from Željko Marinković, a member of the winning team of the 10th National Championship, who shared his experience from the International competition in Florence and wished all participants success both in the National and International finals.

A total of seven teams from the Faculty of Organizational Sciences and the Faculty of Civil Engineering participated in the final, demonstrating a wide range of knowledge and skills in project management. Their task was to solve a case study and present their solutions before an expert jury.

Second place was won by Team 2 — Staša Piletić, Ana Obradović, Luka Stojaković, and Lazar Stojaković from the Faculty of Organizational Sciences — whose members achieved outstanding results.

Third place went to Team 1 — Veljko Vučetić, Tijana Mirić, Emina Esati, and Petar Jovanović from the same faculty — showcasing a high level of competitive spirit and professionalism.

We would like to sincerely thank all participants for their effort and dedication, and congratulate them on their excellent results. Special congratulations go to the winning team, which will represent Serbia at the International Project Management Championship in Athens.
