popovskik dc7b8b6809 content(projects): add 7 events/projects (2025-2026) with photo placeholders
Add trilingual (EN/MK/SI) event pages for seven MSOS activities:
- Joint Walk "Path Around the Wire" (May 2025)
- Kafanska vecher (May 2025)
- Watching the Macedonia-Wales match (Nov 2025)
- Team-building and MSOS Hub opening (Feb 2026)
- SEPA webinar with the National Bank of RNM (May 2026)
- President Siljanovska-Davkova lecture at UL (May 2026)
- Morning Coffee in front of CTK, 4th edition (Jun 2026)

Each page uses a neutral placeholder image (images/event-placeholder.svg)
in every hero/inline/gallery slot, with captions describing the intended
photo so real images can be dropped in later. Pages follow the existing
event template (narrative sections + scrollspy + photo gallery); no
"At a glance" classification box.

Wires the events into the Projects hub (filter cards), News hub, sitemap,
bot-discovery files and the offline search index. Unrelated pages were
kept out of this commit to avoid build-tool encoding churn.

popovskik f66db9873f content(guide): clarify visa D vs residence permit and residence application routes
Update the Student Welcome Guide residence pages (EN/MK/SI):

- visa-and-residence-explained: clarify that visa D mainly applies to
  study exchanges (e.g. Erasmus, up to one year) and is handled only by
  the embassy, while degree students use the temporary residence permit
  decided by the administrative unit (a permit, not a "visa").
- where-to-apply-for-residence: explain that the embassy only forwards
  the application to the administrative unit (slower, costlier); present
  applying directly at the administrative unit as usually faster and
  cheaper with the same documents; replace vague checklist prompts with
  concrete facts (appointment contact, standard document list, official
  Slovenian translation, certification, criminal-record recency, fees);
  keep the cautious lawful-stay wording and add a warning about leaving
  Slovenia while the application is pending.

<div class="article-body">
<p>On Saturday morning, 24 students gathered outside the School of Economics and Business in Ljubljana.</p>
<p>Some already knew one another. Others were meeting for the first time. They came from Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovenia, Macedonia, Croatia, and Montenegro, but they had arrived at the same meeting point for the same reason: to begin the morning together.</p>
<p>From the faculty, the group headed toward the first checkpoint in Bežigrad and joined the 2025 Path Around the Wire. The walk itself was simple. The collaboration behind it was new.</p>
<h2 id="organised-together">Organised together by</h2>
<p>This was the first event organised jointly by four student associations: the Macedonian Student Organisation in Slovenia (MSOS), STUDI (the Serbian student association in Slovenia), DBHSS (the Bosnian and Herzegovinian student association in Slovenia), and DHSS (the Croatian student association in Slovenia).</p>
<h2 id="idea">An idea shared between four associations</h2>
<p>The event began one month earlier through an informal conversation between the presidents of four student associations. MSOS joined STUDI, DBHSS, and DHSS with one practical idea: create an activity where students from their communities could meet naturally, without a formal programme or a stage between them.</p>
<p>The Path Around the Wire offered the right setting. It was public, active, and open to everyone. Instead of inviting students into a closed venue, the associations could bring them together outside and begin with something as direct as walking in the same direction.</p>
<p>The organising team met online on 17 April to divide the work. Kristijan Popovski from MSOS prepared the shared registration form. Lena Bašić from STUDI and Klara David from DHSS worked on the event graphic. Eldar Talić from DBHSS contacted the Student Organisation of the University of Ljubljana regarding possible support with water. The event was then published on 5 May as a joint Instagram collaboration across the profiles of all four associations.</p>
<h2 id="six-countries">Six countries at one meeting point</h2>
<p>The registration list showed the range of the group before the event even began. Ten participants registered from Serbia, six from Bosnia and Herzegovina, four from Slovenia, two from Macedonia, one from Croatia, and one from Montenegro.</p>
<p>The result was not a gathering built around one national community. It was a meeting between several student communities that already shared the same city, universities, and many of the same experiences of living abroad. That made the first minutes outside the faculty important. People arrived, found the group, spoke with someone new, and prepared to continue together.</p>
<h2 id="toward-bezigrad">From the faculty toward Bežigrad</h2>
<p>At 08:45, the group left the meeting point and headed toward the Path Around the Wire checkpoint beside AMZS in Bežigrad. The official 2025 recreational route followed a 33 kilometre circuit around Ljubljana and allowed participants to begin at several checkpoints. For this MSOS collaboration, the confirmed shared activity was the gathering outside the faculty and the group movement toward the Bežigrad starting point.</p>
<p>This distinction matters because the event was not organised as a competition or a test of distance. Its purpose was to create a first shared experience between the associations and give their members an easy way to meet. Walking helped. Conversations could begin without being forced. Smaller groups formed and changed along the route. Students who arrived through one organisation could leave knowing people from three others.</p>
<h2 id="next-step">A first activity with a clear next step</h2>
<p>The organisers had set one main goal: connect the student associations and bring their members together through a shared event. The group achieved that with 24 participants, six represented countries, and no direct expenditure by MSOS.</p>
<p>More importantly, the four associations completed their first joint activity and agreed that it should not remain the last one. The event showed that cooperation did not always need a large stage, a complex programme, or a major budget. It needed a clear meeting point, divided responsibilities, communication between the teams, and an activity that gave people room to connect. On this occasion, that activity was a walk through Ljubljana. The path began outside one faculty, but the more important result was the new connection between four student communities.</p>

<div class="article-body">
<p>Во сабота наутро, 24 студенти се собраа пред Економскиот факултет при Универзитетот во Љубљана.</p>
<p>Некои веќе се познаваа, а други се сретнаа првпат. Доаѓаа од Србија, Босна и Херцеговина, Словенија, Македонија, Хрватска и Црна Гора, но пристигнаа на истото место со иста причина: заедно да го започнат утрото.</p>
<p>Од факултетот, групата се упати кон првата контролна точка во Бежиград и се приклучи на Патот околу жицата 2025. Прошетката беше едноставна. Соработката зад неа беше нова.</p>
<h2 id="organised-together">Организирано заедно со</h2>
<p>Ова беше првиот настан организиран заедно од четири студентски здруженија: Македонската студентска организација во Словенија (МСОС), СТУДИ (српското студентско здружение во Словенија), ДБХСС (босанско-херцеговското студентско здружение во Словенија) и ДХСС (хрватското студентско здружение во Словенија).</p>
<h2 id="idea">Идеја споделена меѓу четири здруженија</h2>
<p>Настанот започна еден месец порано преку неформален разговор меѓу претседателите на четири студентски здруженија. МСОС се поврза со СТУДИ, ДБХСС и ДХСС околу една практична идеја: да се создаде активност на која студентите од нивните заедници ќе можат природно да се запознаат, без формална програма и без сцена меѓу нив.</p>
<p>Патот околу жицата понуди соодветна средина. Настанот беше јавен, активен и отворен за сите. Наместо да ги поканат студентите во затворен простор, здруженијата можеа да ги соберат надвор и да започнат со нешто толку директно како движење во ист правец.</p>
<p>Организацискиот тим одржа онлајн состанок на 17 април и ги подели обврските. Кристијан Поповски од МСОС ја подготви заедничката форма за пријавување. Лена Башиќ од СТУДИ и Клара Давид од ДХСС работеа на графиката за објавување. Елдар Талиќ од ДБХСС ја контактираше Студентската организација при Универзитетот во Љубљана во врска со можна поддршка со вода. Настанот беше објавен на 5 мај како заедничка Instagram објава на профилите на сите четири здруженија.</p>
<h2 id="six-countries">Шест држави на едно место за средба</h2>
<p>Пријавите ја покажаа разновидноста на групата уште пред да започне настанот. Од Србија се пријавија десет учесници, од Босна и Херцеговина шест, од Словенија четири, од Македонија двајца, од Хрватска еден и од Црна Гора еден.</p>
<p>Ова не беше собир создаден околу една национална заедница. Беше средба меѓу повеќе студентски заедници што веќе го делеа истиот град, универзитетите и многу од истите искуства на живеење во странство. Токму затоа беа важни првите минути пред факултетот. Луѓето пристигнаа, ја најдоа групата, започнаа разговор со некој нов и се подготвија за заедничкиот пат.</p>
<h2 id="toward-bezigrad">Од факултетот кон Бежиград</h2>
<p>Во 08:45 часот, групата се упати кон контролната точка на Патот околу жицата кај АМЗС во Бежиград. Официјалната рекреативна патека во 2025 година следеше круг од 33 километри околу Љубљана, а учесниците можеа да се приклучат на повеќе контролни точки. Потврдениот заеднички дел од оваа активност на МСОС беше собирањето пред факултетот и групното движење кон почетната точка во Бежиград.</p>
<p>Оваа разлика е важна бидејќи настанот не беше организиран како натпревар или тест на издржливост. Неговата цел беше да создаде прво заедничко искуство меѓу здруженијата и да им даде на нивните членови едноставен начин да се запознаат. Пешачењето помогна во тоа. Разговорите можеа да започнат без притисок. Помали групи се создаваа и се менуваа во текот на движењето. Студент што дошол преку едно здружение можел да замине со нови познанства од уште три.</p>
<h2 id="next-step">Прва активност со јасно продолжение</h2>
<p>Организаторите поставија една главна цел: да ги поврзат студентските здруженија и да ги соберат нивните членови преку заеднички настан. Тоа го постигнаа со 24 учесници, шест претставени држави и без директни трошоци за МСОС.</p>
<p>Уште поважно, четирите здруженија ја реализираа својата прва заедничка активност и се согласија дека таа не треба да остане последна. Настанот покажа дека за соработка не се секогаш потребни голема сцена, сложена програма или висок буџет. Потребни се јасно место за средба, поделени обврски, комуникација меѓу тимовите и активност што им остава простор на луѓето да се поврзат. Овојпат, таа активност беше прошетка низ Љубљана. Патот започна пред еден факултет, но поважниот резултат беше новата врска меѓу четири студентски заедници.</p>

<div class="article-body">
<p>V soboto zjutraj se je pred Ekonomsko fakulteto Univerze v Ljubljani zbralo 24 študentov.</p>
<p>Nekateri so se že poznali, drugi so se srečali prvič. Prišli so iz Srbije, Bosne in Hercegovine, Slovenije, Makedonije, Hrvaške in Črne gore, vendar so se zbrali na istem mestu z istim razlogom: da jutro začnejo skupaj.</p>
<p>Od fakultete se je skupina odpravila proti prvi kontrolni točki v Bežigradu in se priključila Poti ob žici 2025. Sprehod je bil preprost. Sodelovanje v njegovem ozadju pa je bilo novo.</p>
<h2 id="organised-together">Organizirano skupaj z</h2>
<p>To je bil prvi dogodek, ki so ga skupaj organizirala štiri študentska društva: Makedonska študentska organizacija v Sloveniji (MSOS), STUDI (srbsko študentsko društvo v Sloveniji), DBHSS (bosansko-hercegovsko študentsko društvo v Sloveniji) in DHSS (hrvaško študentsko društvo v Sloveniji).</p>
<h2 id="idea">Ideja, ki so jo delila štiri društva</h2>
<p>Dogodek se je začel mesec prej z neformalnim pogovorom med predsedniki štirih študentskih društev. MSOS se je povezal s STUDI, DBHSS in DHSS okoli praktične ideje: pripraviti dejavnost, kjer bi se študenti iz njihovih skupnosti lahko spoznali na naraven način, brez formalnega programa in odra med njimi.</p>
<p>Pot ob žici je ponudila primerno okolje. Dogodek je bil javen, aktiven in odprt za vse. Namesto srečanja v zaprtem prostoru so društva študente povabila ven, kjer so lahko začeli z nečim tako neposrednim, kot je hoja v isto smer.</p>
<p>Organizacijska ekipa se je 17. aprila sestala na spletu in si razdelila naloge. Kristijan Popovski iz MSOS je pripravil skupni prijavni obrazec. Lena Bašić iz STUDI in Klara David iz DHSS sta oblikovali grafiko za objavo. Eldar Talić iz DBHSS je kontaktiral Študentsko organizacijo Univerze v Ljubljani glede morebitne podpore z vodo. Dogodek je bil 5. maja objavljen kot skupna Instagram objava na profilih vseh štirih društev.</p>
<h2 id="six-countries">Šest držav na enem zbirnem mestu</h2>
<p>Prijave so raznolikost skupine pokazale že pred začetkom dogodka. Iz Srbije se je prijavilo deset udeležencev, iz Bosne in Hercegovine šest, iz Slovenije štirje, iz Makedonije dva, iz Hrvaške eden in iz Črne gore eden.</p>
<p>To ni bilo srečanje, zgrajeno okoli ene nacionalne skupnosti. Bilo je srečanje več študentskih skupnosti, ki so si že delile isto mesto, univerze in številne izkušnje življenja v tujini. Zato so bile pomembne že prve minute pred fakulteto. Ljudje so prišli, našli skupino, spregovorili z nekom novim in se pripravili na skupno pot.</p>
<h2 id="toward-bezigrad">Od fakultete proti Bežigradu</h2>
<p>Ob 08.45 se je skupina odpravila proti kontrolni točki Poti ob žici pri AMZS v Bežigradu. Uradna rekreativna pot leta 2025 je potekala po 33 kilometrov dolgem krogu okoli Ljubljane, udeleženci pa so se ji lahko priključili na več kontrolnih točkah. Potrjeni skupni del te aktivnosti MSOS je obsegal zbiranje pred fakulteto in skupno pot proti izhodišču v Bežigradu.</p>
<p>Ta razlika je pomembna, saj dogodek ni bil zamišljen kot tekmovanje ali preizkus razdalje. Njegov namen je bil ustvariti prvo skupno izkušnjo društev in njihovim članom ponuditi preprost način za spoznavanje. Hoja je pri tem pomagala. Pogovori so se lahko začeli brez prisile. Manjše skupine so nastajale in se med potjo spreminjale. Študent, ki je prišel prek enega društva, je lahko odšel z novimi poznanstvi iz treh drugih.</p>
<h2 id="next-step">Prva dejavnost z jasnim nadaljevanjem</h2>
<p>Organizatorji so si postavili en glavni cilj: povezati študentska društva in njihove člane združiti skozi skupen dogodek. To jim je uspelo s 24 udeleženci, šestimi zastopanimi državami in brez neposrednih stroškov za MSOS.</p>
<p>Še pomembneje je, da so štiri društva izvedla svojo prvo skupno dejavnost in se dogovorila, da ne bo ostala zadnja. Dogodek je pokazal, da sodelovanje ne potrebuje vedno velikega odra, zapletenega programa ali visokega proračuna. Potrebuje jasno zbirno mesto, razdeljene naloge, komunikacijo med ekipami in dejavnost, ki ljudem omogoči povezovanje. Tokrat je bila ta dejavnost sprehod skozi Ljubljano. Pot se je začela pred eno fakulteto, pomembnejši rezultat pa je bila nova povezava med štirimi študentskimi skupnostmi.</p>

<p>By the time the room filled, there was little distance left between the tables and the dance floor.</p>
<p>Under the red lights of AULA café, students stood between chairs, raised their hands and phones, and sang toward the musicians. Some had arrived with a reserved table and a full group of friends. Others moved between tables as the evening continued. Around 200 Serbian and Macedonian students attended Kafanska večer on 15 May 2025.</p>
<p>For MSOS, the evening was both a social event and a first opportunity to understand how this type of gathering could work within its own community.</p>

<p>The collaboration began when Angelina Stojković from STUDI contacted MSOS with a proposal to join an event that their organisation already had experience producing.</p>
<p>The roles were clear from the beginning. STUDI, SKC Pupin, and Party Maniacs handled the main organisation, including the venue, band, table arrangements, ticket collection, finances, and operational details. MSOS joined as a community and promotional partner, sharing the event through its social channels and encouraging Macedonian students to attend.</p>
<p>The format made sense for two reasons. MSOS wanted to organise more activities together with regional student associations. The team had also discussed creating a Macedonian kafana evening, but had not yet tested the level of interest or the practical demands behind such an event. Joining an existing format offered a useful first step.</p>
<h2 id="two-communities">A room shaped by two student communities</h2>
<p>The audience was mainly Serbian, with a visible Macedonian group participating throughout the evening. An internal estimate counted approximately 25 tables, around 20 occupied mainly by Serbian students and 5 mainly by Macedonian students.</p>
<p>Those numbers reflected the different sizes of the communities involved, but they also showed that Macedonian students were interested in the format. They did not attend only as observers. They joined the shared tables, songs, and movement across the room. The photographs from the evening capture this better than a formal attendance list could: the room is crowded, people are standing, hands are raised, and several students are recording the atmosphere on their phones.</p>
<h2 id="tables">When the tables stopped being boundaries</h2>
<p>The defining part of the evening came once people no longer remained only with the groups they had arrived with. The tables had organised the room at the beginning. Live music slowly changed that structure.</p>
<p>Students stood up, moved closer to the performers, sang together, and crossed from one part of the venue to another. The evening created the type of atmosphere that had originally made MSOS interested in the idea: familiar music, an informal setting, and enough time for people to meet without a fixed programme directing every interaction. This was not a large MSOS production. The organisation's role was limited and transparent, yet the event still offered something useful to the community and to the team behind it. It showed that there was an audience for this type of night.</p>

<figcaption>live music gradually turned the space between the tables into the centre of the event.</figcaption>
</figure>
<h2 id="lessons">What MSOS learned from the collaboration</h2>
<p>A successful public atmosphere does not mean that every part of the organising process is simple. The report prepared after the event highlighted several lessons for future collaborations. MSOS needs to be involved earlier and more directly when an event includes ticketing, contracts, financial planning, venue arrangements, band selection, and legal responsibilities.</p>
<p>Clear responsibilities are important, but shared oversight is equally important. For future events of this kind, the organisation wants to understand the complete process rather than participate only through promotion. That includes knowing how tickets are managed, how agreements are made, how budgets are planned, and how decisions are shared between partners. These are not details that appear in the photographs, but they are part of building stronger events.</p>
<h2 id="future">A first answer to a future idea</h2>
<p>Kafanska večer confirmed that students were interested in an evening built around live regional music and a relaxed social atmosphere. It also gave MSOS a clearer picture of what a future Macedonian kafana evening would require: stronger involvement from the beginning, fewer unclear responsibilities, transparent planning, and a format shaped directly around the Macedonian student community.</p>
<p>The night in AULA was therefore not only a well attended gathering. It was a practical first answer to an idea the organisation had already been discussing. The interest was there. The next step would be to build the format with greater ownership and a clearer MSOS identity.</p>

<p>Кога просторот се исполни, речиси и да не остана растојание меѓу масите и местото за играње.</p>
<p>Под црвените светла на кафулето АУЛА, студентите стоеја меѓу столовите, ги креваа рацете и телефоните и пееја кон музичарите. Некои пристигнаа со резервирана маса и цело друштво. Други во текот на вечерта се движеа меѓу различни маси. Околу 200 српски и македонски студенти присуствуваа на Кафанска вечер на 15 мај 2025 година.</p>
<p>За МСОС, вечерта беше и друштвен настан и прва можност да се разбере како ваков формат би функционирал во рамки на сопствената заедница.</p>
<figure class="article-inline-image">

<figcaption>како што напредуваше вечерта, студентите излегоа надвор од своите резервирани маси и станаа дел од заедничката атмосфера.</figcaption>
</figure>
<h2 id="organised-with">Организирано во соработка со</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>СТУДИ:</strong> иницијатор на соработката и водач на главната организација на настанот.</li>
<li><strong>СКЦ Пупин (српски културен центар и библиотека Михајло Пупин):</strong> организациски партнер.</li>
<li><strong>Party Maniacs:</strong> продукција и оперативна организација на настанот.</li>
<li><strong>МСОС:</strong> партнер за заедницата и промоцијата.</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="invitation">Покана од СТУДИ</h2>
<p>Соработката започна кога Ангелина Стојковиќ од СТУДИ го контактираше МСОС со предлог да се приклучи кон настан со кој нивната организација веќе имала искуство.</p>
<p>Улогите беа јасни од почетокот. СТУДИ, СКЦ Пупин и Party Maniacs ја водеа главната организација, вклучувајќи ги просторот, музичката група, распоредот на масите, собирањето влезници, финансиите и оперативните детали. МСОС се вклучи како партнер за заедницата и промоцијата, го сподели настанот на своите социјални мрежи и ги повика македонските студенти да присуствуваат.</p>
<p>Форматот имаше смисла од две причини. МСОС сакаше да организира повеќе активности со регионалните студентски здруженија. Тимот веќе неколкупати разговарал и за македонска кафанска вечер, но сè уште немал проверено колкав е интересот и кои практични обврски ги бара ваков настан. Приклучувањето кон постоечки формат беше корисен прв чекор.</p>
<h2 id="two-communities">Простор обликуван од две студентски заедници</h2>
<p>Поголемиот дел од публиката го сочинуваа српски студенти, а во текот на вечерта беше присутна и видлива македонска група. Според интерна проценка, имало околу 25 маси, приближно 20 главно со српски студенти, а 5 главно со македонски.</p>
<p>Бројките ја покажуваа различната големина на вклучените заедници, но покажаа и дека кај македонските студенти постои интерес за ваков формат. Тие не дојдоа само како набљудувачи. Се приклучија на заедничките маси, песните и движењето низ просторот. Фотографиите од вечерта го покажуваат ова подобро од формален список на присутни: просторот е исполнет, луѓето стојат, рацете се кренати, а повеќе студенти ја снимаат атмосферата со телефоните.</p>
<h2 id="tables">Кога масите престанаа да бидат граници</h2>
<p>Клучниот дел од вечерта започна кога луѓето веќе не остануваа само со друштвото со кое пристигнале. На почетокот, масите го организираа просторот. Музиката во живо постепено ја промени таа структура.</p>
<p>Студентите станаа, се приближија до музичарите, пееја заедно и преминуваа од еден дел од локалот во друг. Вечерта ја создаде атмосферата поради која МСОС воопшто беше заинтересиран за идејата: позната музика, неформална средина и доволно време луѓето да се запознаат без фиксна програма што го насочува секој контакт. Ова не беше голема продукција на МСОС. Улогата на организацијата беше ограничена и јасно определена, но сепак настанот понуди нешто корисно и за заедницата и за тимот зад него. Покажа дека постои публика за ваква вечер.</p>

<figcaption>музиката во живо постепено го претвори просторот меѓу масите во средиште на настанот.</figcaption>
</figure>
<h2 id="lessons">Што научи МСОС од соработката</h2>
<p>Добрата атмосфера пред публиката не значи дека секој дел од организацијата е едноставен. Извештајот подготвен по настанот истакна неколку лекции за идните соработки. МСОС треба порано и подиректно да биде вклучен кога настанот опфаќа влезници, договори, финансиско планирање, уредување на просторот, избор на музичка група и правни обврски.</p>
<p>Јасните одговорности се важни, но еднакво важен е и заедничкиот увид во процесот. На идни настани од овој тип, организацијата сака да го разбира целиот процес, а не да учествува само преку промоција. Тоа значи да знае како се управуваат влезниците, како се склучуваат договорите, како се планира буџетот и како се споделуваат одлуките меѓу партнерите. Овие детали не се гледаат на фотографиите, но се дел од создавањето посилни настани.</p>
<h2 id="future">Прв одговор на една идна идеја</h2>
<p>Кафанска вечер потврди дека студентите се заинтересирани за вечер изградена околу регионална музика во живо и опуштена друштвена атмосфера. Настанот му даде на МСОС и појасна слика што би било потребно за идна македонска кафанска вечер: посилна вклученост од самиот почеток, помалку нејасни одговорности, транспарентно планирање и формат директно обликуван околу македонската студентска заедница.</p>
<p>Затоа, вечерта во АУЛА не беше само добро посетен собир. Таа беше практичен прв одговор на идеја за која организацијата веќе разговараше. Интересот постоеше. Следниот чекор би бил форматот да се изгради со поголема сопствена одговорност и појасен идентитет на МСОС.</p>

<p>Ko se je prostor napolnil, je med mizami in plesiščem ostalo zelo malo razdalje.</p>
<p>Pod rdečimi lučmi kavarne AULA so študenti stali med stoli, dvigovali roke in telefone ter peli proti glasbenikom. Nekateri so prišli z rezervirano mizo in celo skupino prijateljev. Drugi so se med večerom premikali med različnimi mizami. Dogodka Kafanska večer se je 15. maja 2025 udeležilo približno 200 srbskih in makedonskih študentov.</p>
<p>Za MSOS je bil večer družabni dogodek in hkrati prva priložnost za razumevanje, kako bi takšen format lahko deloval znotraj lastne skupnosti.</p>

<li><strong>SKC Pupin (srbski kulturni center in knjižnica Mihajlo Pupin):</strong> organizacijski partner.</li>
<li><strong>Party Maniacs:</strong> produkcija in operativna organizacija dogodka.</li>
<li><strong>MSOS:</strong> skupnostni in promocijski partner.</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="invitation">Povabilo društva STUDI</h2>
<p>Sodelovanje se je začelo, ko je Angelina Stojković iz društva STUDI kontaktirala MSOS s predlogom, da se pridruži dogodku, s katerim je njihova organizacija že imela izkušnje.</p>
<p>Vloge so bile od začetka jasne. STUDI, SKC Pupin in Party Maniacs so prevzeli glavno organizacijo, vključno s prostorom, glasbeno skupino, razporeditvijo miz, zbiranjem vstopnic, financami in operativnimi podrobnostmi. MSOS se je vključil kot skupnostni in promocijski partner, dogodek delil prek svojih družbenih omrežij ter k udeležbi povabil makedonske študente.</p>
<p>Format je bil smiseln iz dveh razlogov. MSOS je želel organizirati več dejavnosti skupaj z regionalnimi študentskimi društvi. Ekipa je že večkrat govorila tudi o makedonskem kafanskem večeru, vendar še ni preverila zanimanja ali praktičnih zahtev takšnega dogodka. Priključitev obstoječemu formatu je bila uporaben prvi korak.</p>
<h2 id="two-communities">Prostor, ki sta ga oblikovali dve študentski skupnosti</h2>
<p>Večino občinstva so sestavljali srbski študenti, ob njih pa je bila ves večer prisotna tudi vidna makedonska skupina. Interna ocena je zajela približno 25 miz, okoli 20 so jih zasedali predvsem srbski študenti, 5 pa predvsem makedonski.</p>
<p>Številke so odražale različno velikost vključenih skupnosti, hkrati pa so pokazale, da med makedonskimi študenti obstaja zanimanje za takšen format. Niso prišli le kot opazovalci. Pridružili so se skupnim mizam, petju in gibanju po prostoru. Fotografije z večera to pokažejo bolje kot formalni seznam udeležencev: prostor je poln, ljudje stojijo, roke so dvignjene, več študentov pa dogajanje snema s telefoni.</p>
<h2 id="tables">Ko mize niso bile več meje</h2>
<p>Odločilni del večera se je začel, ko ljudje niso več ostajali le z družbo, s katero so prišli. Na začetku so prostor organizirale mize. Živa glasba je to strukturo počasi spremenila.</p>
<p>Študenti so vstali, se približali glasbenikom, peli skupaj in prehajali iz enega dela lokala v drugega. Večer je ustvaril vzdušje, zaradi katerega je MSOS zamisel sploh zanimala: znana glasba, neformalno okolje in dovolj časa za spoznavanje brez vnaprej določenega programa. To ni bila velika produkcija MSOS. Vloga organizacije je bila omejena in jasno opredeljena, dogodek pa je kljub temu ponudil nekaj koristnega skupnosti in ekipi za njim. Pokazal je, da občinstvo za takšen večer obstaja.</p>

<figcaption>živa glasba je prostor med mizami postopoma spremenila v središče dogodka.</figcaption>
</figure>
<h2 id="lessons">Kaj se je MSOS naučil iz sodelovanja</h2>
<p>Dobro javno vzdušje ne pomeni, da je vsak del organizacije preprost. Poročilo po dogodku je izpostavilo več lekcij za prihodnja sodelovanja. MSOS mora biti prej in bolj neposredno vključen, kadar dogodek zajema vstopnice, pogodbe, finančno načrtovanje, ureditev prostora, izbor glasbene skupine in pravne obveznosti.</p>
<p>Jasne odgovornosti so pomembne, enako pomemben pa je skupen pregled nad procesom. Pri prihodnjih dogodkih te vrste želi organizacija razumeti celoten proces in ne sodelovati le pri promociji. To pomeni vedeti, kako se upravljajo vstopnice, kako nastajajo dogovori, kako se načrtuje proračun in kako se odločitve delijo med partnerji. Te podrobnosti na fotografijah niso vidne, vendar so del ustvarjanja boljših dogodkov.</p>
<h2 id="future">Prvi odgovor na prihodnjo idejo</h2>
<p>Kafanska večer je potrdil, da študente zanima večer z živo regionalno glasbo in sproščenim družabnim vzdušjem. MSOS je dobil tudi jasnejšo predstavo, kaj bi zahteval prihodnji makedonski kafanski večer: močnejšo vključenost od začetka, manj nejasnih odgovornosti, pregledno načrtovanje in format, oblikovan neposredno okoli makedonske študentske skupnosti.</p>
<p>Večer v AULI zato ni bil le dobro obiskan dogodek. Bil je praktičen prvi odgovor na idejo, o kateri je organizacija že razmišljala. Zanimanje je obstajalo. Naslednji korak bi bil oblikovati format z večjim lastnim prispevkom in jasnejšo identiteto MSOS.</p>

<div class="article-body">
<p>By nine in the morning, the space in front of the Central Technical Library (CTK) looked a little different from the usual exam-period routine. Instead of students simply heading inside with laptops, notes, and coffee already in hand, there was hot Nescafe waiting outside, together with fruit, chocolates, snacks, other drinks, stickers, and a few small activities.</p>
<p>Some students stopped for only a few minutes before going back to their books. Others stayed longer, talked with friends, met new people, and took a short break before returning to studying.</p>
<p>That was exactly the point of the fourth edition of Morning Coffee in Front of CTK.</p>
<h2 id="exam-morning">A different kind of exam morning</h2>
<p>The event was not designed around a formal programme or a long schedule. It was created as a simple pause during one of the most intense parts of the academic year, giving students a reason to step away from studying for a moment, eat something, have a warm drink, talk, laugh, and recharge.</p>
<figure class="article-inline-image">

<figcaption>coffee, fruit, snacks, and small surprises waiting for students before another morning of studying.</figcaption>
</figure>
<h2 id="why-ctk">Why we keep coming back to CTK</h2>
<p>Morning Coffee began from a very simple observation. During exam season, students spend long hours in libraries and study spaces, often moving from one deadline or exam to the next. CTK becomes one of the places most closely connected with that routine.</p>
<p>Instead of asking students to attend another organised programme, MSOS decided to meet them where they already were.</p>
<p>The idea was to create something easy and informal. Students did not need to register, prepare, or stay for a fixed amount of time. They could stop for a coffee, grab some fruit or chocolate, join one of the small activities, talk for a while, or simply say hello before continuing with their day.</p>
<p>That simplicity is what has allowed the event to grow into a small MSOS tradition.</p>
<figure class="article-inline-image">

<figcaption>some students came for a quick coffee. Others stayed for the conversation.</figcaption>
</figure>
<h2 id="two-hours">Two hours without an agenda</h2>
<p>From 09:00 until 11:00, students could take whatever kind of break they needed.</p>
<p>There was hot Nescafe for anyone who needed an early boost, fruit and snacks for those heading into another long study session, chocolates for a quick bit of energy, other drinks, stickers, and small activities that made the space feel more like a student gathering than a distribution point.</p>
<p>The atmosphere stayed deliberately relaxed. There were no speeches and no expectation that someone needed to stay. People arrived naturally, met friends, started conversations, and then continued with their plans when they were ready.</p>
<p>For some, the stop lasted only a few minutes. For others, it became a longer break than expected.</p>
<p>In the middle of an exam session, even a small change of rhythm can make a difference. Sometimes it is enough to leave the library for ten minutes, eat something, see familiar faces, and realise that everyone around you is going through the same demanding weeks.</p>

<figcaption>the event was intentionally simple, giving students space to join without needing to register or commit their morning.</figcaption>
</figure>
<h2 id="four-editions">Four editions later</h2>
<p>By 2026, Morning Coffee in Front of CTK had reached its fourth edition.</p>
<p>What started as a simple exam-period initiative has gradually become one of the small traditions through which MSOS stays close to students during the moments when university life becomes most demanding.</p>
<p>Its value is not in having a complicated programme. It is in being there.</p>
<p>A table with coffee and food, a few familiar faces, a short conversation, and a reason to stop studying for a moment can be enough to make a stressful morning feel lighter.</p>
<p>The fourth edition continued that idea in the same way it began: by keeping things simple, open, and close to the everyday student experience.</p>

<div class="article-body">
<p>Во девет часот наутро, просторот пред Централната техничка библиотека (ЦТК) изгледаше малку поинаку од вообичаеното за време на испитната сесија. Наместо студентите само да влегуваат внатре со лаптопи, скрипти и кафе во рака, надвор веќе ги чекаа топло Nescafe кафе, овошје, чоколади, грицки, други пијалаци, стикери и неколку мали активности.</p>
<p>Некои студенти застанаа само неколку минути пред повторно да се вратат на учење. Други останаа подолго, разговараа со пријатели, запознаа нови луѓе и си дадоа кратка пауза пред повторно да продолжат со обврските.</p>
<p>Токму тоа беше идејата на четвртото издание на Утринско кафе пред ЦТК.</p>
<h2 id="exam-morning">Малку поинакво испитно утро</h2>
<p>Настанот не беше замислен како формална програма со долг распоред. Напротив, целта беше да се создаде едноставна пауза во еден од најинтензивните периоди од академската година. Неколку минути подалеку од книгите, нешто за јадење, топол пијалак, краток разговор и малку простор за опуштање.</p>
<figure class="article-inline-image">

<figcaption>кафе, овошје, грицки и мали изненадувања пред уште едно претпладне исполнето со учење.</figcaption>
</figure>
<h2 id="why-ctk">Зошто повторно се враќаме пред ЦТК</h2>
<p>Утринското кафе започна од едно многу едноставно согледување. За време на испитните сесии, студентите поминуваат долги часови во библиотеки и простории за учење, движејќи се од еден рок или испит кон следниот. ЦТК е едно од местата кои најсилно се поврзуваат со тој период.</p>
<p>Наместо студентите да бидат повикани на уште една формална активност, МСОС одлучи да дојде таму каде што тие веќе се.</p>
<p>Идејата беше сè да остане едноставно и неформално. Немаше потреба од пријавување и никој не мораше да остане одредено време. Студентите можеа да земат кафе, овошје или чоколадо, да се приклучат на некоја мала активност, да разговараат, или едноставно да кажат здраво пред да продолжат со денот.</p>
<p>Токму оваа едноставност постепено го претвори настанот во мала традиција на МСОС.</p>
<figure class="article-inline-image">
<img alt="Спонтана фотографија од студенти кои разговараат покрај поставката." decoding="async" height="1920" loading="lazy" src="../../../images/mc-ctk-2026-why-we-keep-coming-back-to-ctk-3.webp" width="1440"/>
<figcaption>некои дојдоа само по брзо кафе. Други останаа поради разговорот.</figcaption>
</figure>
<h2 id="two-hours">Два часа без агенда</h2>
<p>Од 09:00 до 11:00 часот, секој можеше да си земе пауза на начин што му одговара.</p>
<p>Имаше топло Nescafe кафе за оние на кои им требаше утринска енергија, овошје и грицки за продолжување на долгиот ден со учење, чоколади за брзо освежување, други пијалаци, стикери и мали активности кои му дадоа на просторот чувство на студентско дружење, а не само место каде што се дели храна и пијалак.</p>
<p>Атмосферата намерно остана опуштена. Немаше говори и никој не се очекуваше да остане. Луѓето доаѓаа спонтано, се среќаваа со пријатели, започнуваа разговори и продолжуваа со своите планови кога ќе посакаа.</p>
<p>За некои паузата траеше само неколку минути. За други се претвори во подолг одмор од планираното.</p>
<p>Среде испитна сесија, понекогаш и мала промена во ритамот е доволна. Десет минути надвор од библиотеката, нешто за јадење, познати лица и краток разговор можат да бидат доволни за стресното утро да стане малку полесно.</p>
<figure class="article-inline-image">
<img alt="Една од малите активности, делење стикери или неформален момент меѓу студентите." decoding="async" height="1920" loading="lazy" src="../../../images/mc-ctk-2026-two-hours-without-an-agenda-4.webp" width="1440"/>
<figcaption>настанот намерно беше едноставен, за секој да може да се приклучи без пријава и без обврска.</figcaption>
</figure>
<h2 id="four-editions">Четири изданија подоцна</h2>
<p>Во 2026 година, Утринско кафе пред ЦТК стигна до своето четврто издание.</p>
<p>Она што започна како едноставна иницијатива за време на испитна сесија постепено стана една од малите традиции преку кои МСОС останува блиску до студентите токму во периодите кога студентскиот живот станува најнапорен.</p>
<p>Вредноста на настанот не е во сложена програма. Вредноста е во тоа што сме таму.</p>
<p>Маса со кафе и храна, неколку познати лица, краток разговор и причина барем за момент да се прекине учењето можат да бидат доволни едно стресно утро да стане полесно.</p>
<p>Четвртото издание ја продолжи истата идеја со која започна целиот проект: едноставно, отворено и блиску до секојдневното студентско искуство.</p>

<div class="article-body">
<p>Ob devetih zjutraj je prostor pred Centralno tehnično knjižnico (CTK) izgledal nekoliko drugače kot med običajnim izpitnim obdobjem. Namesto da bi študenti samo hiteli v knjižnico s prenosniki, zapiski in kavo v rokah, jih je zunaj že čakala vroča Nescafe kava, sadje, čokolade, prigrizki, druge pijače, nalepke in nekaj manjših aktivnosti.</p>
<p>Nekateri so se ustavili le za nekaj minut in se nato vrnili k učenju. Drugi so ostali dlje, se pogovarjali s prijatelji, spoznali nove ljudi in si pred nadaljevanjem učenja vzeli kratek odmor.</p>
<p>Prav to je bil namen četrte izvedbe Jutranje kave pred CTK.</p>
<h2 id="exam-morning">Malo drugačno izpitno jutro</h2>
<p>Dogodek ni bil zasnovan okoli formalnega programa ali dolgega urnika. Bil je preprost premor v enem najintenzivnejših delov študijskega leta, ko so lahko študenti za trenutek odložili zapiske, nekaj pojedli, spili toplo pijačo, se pogovorili in si nekoliko napolnili energijo.</p>

<figcaption>kava, sadje, prigrizki in majhna presenečenja pred še enim dopoldnevom učenja.</figcaption>
</figure>
<h2 id="why-ctk">Zakaj se vračamo pred CTK</h2>
<p>Jutranja kava je nastala iz zelo preprostega opažanja. V času izpitov študenti preživijo dolge ure v knjižnicah in učnih prostorih ter se pogosto premikajo od enega roka ali izpita do drugega. CTK postane eno izmed mest, ki jih najbolj povezujemo s tem ritmom.</p>
<p>Namesto da bi študente vabili na še en organiziran program, se je MŠOS odločil priti tja, kjer študenti že so.</p>
<p>Ideja je bila ustvariti nekaj preprostega in neformalnega. Prijava ni bila potrebna, prav tako ni bilo določeno, koliko časa mora kdo ostati. Študenti so lahko prišli po kavo, vzeli sadje ali čokolado, sodelovali pri manjši aktivnosti, se pogovarjali ali samo pozdravili pred nadaljevanjem dneva.</p>
<p>Prav ta preprostost je dogodek postopoma spremenila v majhno tradicijo MŠOS.</p>

</figure>
<h2 id="two-hours">Dve uri brez urnika</h2>
<p>Med 09.00 in 11.00 si je lahko vsak vzel takšen odmor, kot ga je potreboval.</p>
<p>Na voljo je bila vroča Nescafe kava za zgodnji zagon, sadje in prigrizki za nadaljevanje dolgega dneva učenja, čokolade za nekaj hitre energije, druge pijače, nalepke in manjše aktivnosti, zaradi katerih je prostor deloval bolj kot študentsko druženje kot pa zgolj razdeljevanje hrane in pijače.</p>
<p>Vzdušje je ostalo namenoma sproščeno. Ni bilo govorov in nobenega pričakovanja, da mora kdo ostati. Ljudje so prihajali spontano, srečevali prijatelje, začeli pogovore in nadaljevali svoje načrte, ko jim je ustrezalo.</p>
<p>Za nekatere je obisk trajal le nekaj minut. Za druge je postal daljši odmor, kot so ga načrtovali.</p>
<p>Sredi izpitnega obdobja lahko že majhna sprememba ritma pomeni veliko. Včasih je dovolj, da za deset minut zapustimo knjižnico, nekaj pojemo, srečamo znane obraze in se spomnimo, da podobne naporne tedne preživljajo tudi vsi okoli nas.</p>

<figcaption>dogodek je bil namenoma preprost, da se je lahko vsak pridružil brez prijave ali obveznosti.</figcaption>
</figure>
<h2 id="four-editions">Štiri izvedbe pozneje</h2>
<p>Leta 2026 je Jutranja kava pred CTK dosegla svojo četrto izvedbo.</p>
<p>Kar se je začelo kot preprosta pobuda v času izpitov, je postopoma postalo ena od manjših tradicij, s katerimi MŠOS ostaja blizu študentom prav takrat, ko študijsko življenje postane najbolj naporno.</p>
<p>Njena vrednost ni v zapletenem programu. Vrednost je v tem, da smo tam.</p>
<p>Miza s kavo in hrano, nekaj znanih obrazov, kratek pogovor in razlog, da se za trenutek ustavimo, so lahko dovolj, da stresno jutro postane nekoliko lažje.</p>
<p>Četrta izvedba je nadaljevala isto idejo, s katero se je projekt začel: preprosto, odprto in blizu vsakdanji študentski izkušnji.</p>

<div class="article-body">
<p>On the morning of 19 May, students from different academic backgrounds joined professors and representatives of the diplomatic community at the Faculty of Law in Ljubljana for a lecture by the President of the Republic of North Macedonia, Dr Gordana Siljanovska-Davkova.</p>
<h2 id="organised-with">Organised with</h2>
<p><strong>Faculty of Law, University of Ljubljana</strong> as official host and organiser, the <strong>Embassy of the Republic of North Macedonia in the Republic of Slovenia</strong> in institutional cooperation, and <strong>MSOS</strong> supporting student outreach, promotion, and participation in the follow-up student discussion.</p>
<h2 id="lecture-room">A lecture room filled by more than one field of study</h2>
<p>The lecture was organised by the Faculty of Law at the University of Ljubljana in cooperation with the Embassy of the Republic of North Macedonia in Slovenia. In the lead-up to the event, MSOS worked with the Embassy to share the invitation with students and encourage them to take part.</p>
<p>That outreach helped bring the event beyond the usual audience of one faculty. Students from different fields entered the lecture room alongside professors, ambassadors, and other guests, creating a setting in which an official presidential visit also became an opportunity for direct academic exchange.</p>
<figure class="article-inline-image">

<figcaption>Students from different fields joined professors and diplomatic representatives for the English-language lecture at the Faculty of Law.</figcaption>
</figure>
<h2 id="constitutional-change">Constitutional change, the EU path, and an academic return to Ljubljana</h2>
<p>The lecture, titled "Constitutional Transformations on the Road to the EU: Reform of Constitutional Engineering?", focused on questions surrounding constitutional change and European integration.</p>
<p>President Siljanovska-Davkova discussed the constitution as the highest legal act and as a framework through which political systems, institutions, and relationships between citizens and the state are organised. The lecture also explored constitutional amendments as instruments of reform and the questions that arise when constitutional change becomes connected with a country's path toward European Union membership.</p>
<p>The setting also carried a personal academic connection. The President completed her doctorate at the Faculty of Law in Ljubljana, making the lecture a return to an institution that forms part of her own academic path.</p>
<p>Rather than treating the visit only as a formal appearance by a head of state, the lecture placed students and professors directly inside a discussion about constitutional law, institutional reform, and European integration.</p>
<figure class="article-inline-image">

<figcaption>The lecture examined constitutional transformations through the wider context of European integration.</figcaption>
</figure>
<h2 id="questions">Questions from the room</h2>
<p>After the main lecture, the programme opened into a Q&amp;A session.</p>
<p>Students and other participants were able to raise questions directly, extending the event beyond a one-way presentation. The English-language format also made the discussion accessible to an academically diverse audience and to representatives of the international and diplomatic community present in the room.</p>
<p>For MSOS, this was an important part of the event. Bringing students into the room mattered, but giving them an opportunity to listen, ask, and take part in a discussion with the President made the experience more meaningful than simply following an official visit from a distance.</p>
<h2 id="beyond-lecture">Conversations beyond the lecture hall</h2>
<p>The official programme did not end when the lecture room emptied.</p>
<p>A small reception with snacks in the hall outside gave students, professors, guests, and diplomatic representatives time to continue conversations in a more informal setting. The change in atmosphere created space for introductions, short exchanges, and discussions that are often difficult to have during the formal part of an event.</p>
<p>For students, moments like these are part of what makes institutional visits valuable. They turn a formal programme into an opportunity to meet people from different fields, speak directly with professors and guests, and connect academic discussion with the wider community around it.</p>
<h2 id="meeting-students">A smaller meeting focused on students</h2>
<p>After the official programme, members of MSOS joined other students and professors for a smaller meeting with President Siljanovska-Davkova.</p>
<p>The conversation created an opportunity to discuss matters important to Macedonian students in Slovenia, the role of the student community, and possibilities for stronger cooperation in the future.</p>
<p>For MSOS, this was an especially valuable continuation of the day. The organisation's role was not only to help bring students to the lecture, but also to ensure that students had space to be part of the wider conversation surrounding the visit.</p>
<p>The meeting reflected an important part of MSOS's work: connecting students with institutions, creating access to conversations that concern them, and helping build stronger links between the Macedonian student community in Slovenia and institutions in both countries.</p>
<h2 id="wider-visit">Part of a wider official visit to Slovenia</h2>
<p>The lecture formed part of President Siljanovska-Davkova's official visit to Slovenia from 17 to 19 May 2026, undertaken at the invitation of Slovenian President Nataša Pirc Musar.</p>
<p>During the visit, the two presidents met in Ljubljana and discussed bilateral relations and North Macedonia's European integration. President Siljanovska-Davkova also met the President of the Slovenian National Assembly, Zoran Stevanović, representatives of the Macedonian community, Macedonian professionals working in science, culture, and medicine, and members of the Slovenian-Macedonian Business Club. The official programme also included a visit to Bohinj.</p>
<p>Within that broader state visit, the Faculty of Law lecture created a direct connection with students and the academic community. For MSOS, it was a chance to help make that part of the programme visible and accessible to students, and to bring the student perspective into the conversations taking place around the visit.</p>

<p>Утрото на 19 мај, на Правниот факултет во Љубљана, на студентите им се придружија професори и претставници на дипломатскиот кор на предавањето на претседателката на Република Северна Македонија, д-р Гордана Сиљановска-Давкова.</p>
<h2 id="organised-with">Организирано во соработка со</h2>
<p><strong>Правниот факултет при Универзитетот во Љубљана</strong> како официјален домаќин и организатор, <strong>Амбасадата на Република Северна Македонија во Република Словенија</strong> во институционална соработка, и <strong>МСОС</strong>, кој придонесе со информирање на студентите, промоција на настанот и учество во последователната студентска дискусија.</p>
<h2 id="lecture-room">Предавална што поврза студенти од различни области</h2>
<p>Предавањето беше организирано од Правниот факултет при Универзитетот во Љубљана во соработка со Амбасадата на Република Северна Македонија во Словенија. Во пресрет на настанот, МСОС соработуваше со Амбасадата во ширење на информацијата меѓу студентите и во охрабрување на нивното учество.</p>
<p>Така, настанот не остана ограничен само на вообичаената публика на еден факултет. Во предавалната дојдоа студенти од различни области, заедно со професори, амбасадори и други гости. На тој начин, официјалната претседателска посета стана и можност за директна академска размена.</p>

<h2 id="constitutional-change">Уставни промени, европскиот пат и академско враќање во Љубљана</h2>
<p>Предавањето со наслов "Constitutional Transformations on the Road to the EU: Reform of Constitutional Engineering?" беше посветено на прашањата поврзани со уставните промени и европската интеграција.</p>
<p>Претседателката Сиљановска-Давкова говореше за уставот како највисок правен акт и како рамка преку која се организираат политичкиот систем, институциите и односите меѓу граѓаните и државата. Предавањето ги опфати и уставните измени како инструмент за реформи, како и прашањата што се отвораат кога уставните промени се поврзуваат со процесот на пристапување кон Европската Унија.</p>
<p>Настанот имаше и лична академска димензија. Претседателката докторирала на Правниот факултет во Љубљана, па предавањето претставуваше и враќање во институција која е дел од нејзиниот академски пат.</p>
<p>Наместо посетата да остане само формално појавување на шеф на држава, предавањето ги вклучи студентите и професорите директно во дискусија за уставното право, институционалните реформи и европската интеграција.</p>
<figure class="article-inline-image">

<figcaption>Предавањето ги постави уставните трансформации во поширокиот контекст на европската интеграција.</figcaption>
</figure>
<h2 id="questions">Прашања од студентите</h2>
<p>По главното предавање следуваше сесија со прашања и одговори.</p>
<p>Студентите и другите присутни имаа можност директно да поставуваат прашања и со тоа настанот да го продолжат од еднонасочно предавање во вистинска дискусија. Форматот на англиски јазик го направи разговорот достапен и за пошироката академска и меѓународна публика присутна во салата.</p>
<p>За МСОС, овој дел беше особено важен. Важно беше студентите да бидат присутни во салата, но уште поважно беше да добијат можност да слушаат, да прашаат и директно да учествуваат во разговорот.</p>
<h2 id="beyond-lecture">Разговорите продолжија и надвор од предавалната</h2>
<p>Официјалниот дел не заврши со излегувањето од предавалната.</p>
<p>Во холот пред салата следуваше мал прием со закуски, каде студентите, професорите, гостите и претставниците на дипломатскиот кор можеа да ги продолжат разговорите во порелаксирана атмосфера.</p>
<p>За студентите, токму ваквите моменти се важен дел од институционалните посети. Формалната програма се претвора во можност за запознавање луѓе од различни области, директен разговор со професори и гости, и продолжување на темите отворени за време на предавањето.</p>
<h2 id="meeting-students">Помала средба посветена на студентските прашања</h2>
<p>По официјалната програма, членовите на МСОС, заедно со други студенти и професори, одржаа помала средба со претседателката Сиљановска-Давкова.</p>
<p>Разговорот отвори простор за прашања важни за македонските студенти во Словенија, улогата на студентската заедница и можностите за посилна соработка во иднина.</p>
<p>За МСОС, ова беше особено значајно продолжение на денот. Улогата на организацијата не беше само да помогне информацијата за предавањето да стигне до студентите, туку и да придонесе студентите да добијат простор во поширокиот разговор што ја следеше посетата.</p>
<p>Средбата претставуваше пример за еден важен дел од работата на МСОС: поврзување на студентите со институциите, создавање пристап до разговори што ги засегаат и градење посилни врски меѓу македонската студентска заедница во Словенија и институциите на двете земји.</p>
<h2 id="wider-visit">Дел од пошироката официјална посета на Словенија</h2>
<p>Предавањето беше дел од официјалната посета на претседателката Сиљановска-Давкова на Словенија од 17 до 19 мај 2026 година, на покана на претседателката на Република Словенија, Наташа Пирц Мусар.</p>
<p>Двете претседателки во Љубљана разговараа за односите меѓу двете земји и европската интеграција на Северна Македонија. Сиљановска-Давкова се сретна и со претседателот на Државниот збор, Зоран Стевановиќ, со претставници на македонската заедница, македонски професионалци од областа на науката, културата и медицината, како и со членови на Македонско-словенечкиот бизнис клуб. Официјалната програма вклучуваше и посета на Бохињ.</p>
<p>Во рамките на пошироката државна посета, предавањето на Правниот факултет создаде директна врска со студентите и академската заедница. За МСОС, тоа беше можност овој дел од програмата да стане повидлив и подостапен за студентите, а нивната перспектива да биде присутна во разговорите што ја придружуваа посетата.</p>

<p>V jutranjih urah 19. maja so se na Pravni fakulteti v Ljubljani študentom pridružili profesorji in predstavniki diplomatskega zbora na predavanju predsednice Republike Severne Makedonije dr. Gordane Siljanovske-Davkove.</p>
<h2 id="organised-with">Organizirano v sodelovanju</h2>
<p><strong>Pravna fakulteta Univerze v Ljubljani</strong> kot gostiteljica in organizatorka, <strong>Veleposlaništvo Republike Severne Makedonije v Republiki Sloveniji</strong> v institucionalnem sodelovanju ter <strong>MŠOS</strong>, ki je prispeval z obveščanjem študentov, promocijo dogodka in sodelovanjem na nadaljnjem pogovoru s študenti.</p>
<h2 id="lecture-room">Predavalnica, ki je povezala več študijskih področij</h2>
<p>Predavanje je organizirala Pravna fakulteta Univerze v Ljubljani v sodelovanju z Veleposlaništvom Republike Severne Makedonije v Sloveniji. MŠOS je pred dogodkom sodeloval z veleposlaništvom pri širjenju informacij med študenti ter jih spodbujal k udeležbi.</p>
<p>Tako dogodek ni ostal omejen le na običajno občinstvo ene fakultete. V predavalnico so prišli študenti z različnih področij, skupaj s profesorji, veleposlaniki in drugimi gosti. Uradni predsedniški obisk je s tem postal tudi priložnost za neposredno akademsko izmenjavo.</p>

<figcaption>Študenti z različnih področij so se profesorjem in predstavnikom diplomatskega zbora pridružili na predavanju v angleškem jeziku.</figcaption>

<h2 id="constitutional-change">Ustavne spremembe, evropska pot in akademska vrnitev v Ljubljano</h2>
<p>Predavanje z naslovom "Constitutional Transformations on the Road to the EU: Reform of Constitutional Engineering?" je bilo namenjeno vprašanjem ustavnih sprememb in evropskega povezovanja.</p>
<p>Predsednica Siljanovska-Davkova je govorila o ustavi kot najvišjem pravnem aktu ter okviru, ki določa delovanje političnega sistema, institucij in odnosov med državljani in državo. Predavanje je obravnavalo tudi ustavne spremembe kot instrument reform ter vprašanja, ki se pojavijo, ko postanejo ustavne spremembe povezane s pristopnim procesom k Evropski uniji.</p>
<p>Dogodek je imel tudi osebno akademsko povezavo. Predsednica je doktorirala na Pravni fakulteti v Ljubljani, zato je bilo predavanje hkrati vrnitev na institucijo, ki je del njene akademske poti.</p>
<p>Obisk tako ni ostal le formalni nastop predsednice države. Študente in profesorje je vključil neposredno v razpravo o ustavnem pravu, institucionalnih reformah in evropskem povezovanju.</p>

<figcaption>Predavanje je ustavne transformacije postavilo v širši kontekst evropskega povezovanja.</figcaption>
</figure>
<h2 id="questions">Vprašanja iz predavalnice</h2>
<p>Po osrednjem predavanju je sledil čas za vprašanja in odgovore.</p>
<p>Študenti in drugi udeleženci so lahko vprašanja naslovili neposredno na predsednico ter s tem dogodek razširili iz enosmernega predavanja v razpravo. Ker je dogodek potekal v angleščini, je bil dostopen tudi širšemu akademskemu in mednarodnemu občinstvu.</p>
<p>Za MŠOS je bil ta del posebej pomemben. Pomembno je bilo pripeljati študente v predavalnico, še pomembneje pa je bilo, da so dobili možnost poslušati, postavljati vprašanja in neposredno sodelovati v pogovoru.</p>
<h2 id="beyond-lecture">Pogovori tudi po koncu predavanja</h2>
<p>Uradni del se ni zaključil z odhodom iz predavalnice.</p>
<p>V avli pred predavalnico je sledil manjši sprejem s prigrizki, kjer so lahko študenti, profesorji, gostje in predstavniki diplomatskega zbora nadaljevali pogovore v bolj sproščenem okolju.</p>
<p>Takšni trenutki so za študente pomemben del institucionalnih obiskov. Formalni program spremenijo v priložnost za spoznavanje ljudi z različnih področij, neposreden pogovor s profesorji in gosti ter nadaljevanje tem, ki so se odprle med predavanjem.</p>
<h2 id="meeting-students">Manjše srečanje, namenjeno študentom</h2>
<p>Po uradnem programu so se člani MŠOS skupaj z drugimi študenti in profesorji udeležili manjšega srečanja s predsednico Siljanovsko-Davkovo.</p>
<p>Pogovor je ponudil prostor za teme, pomembne za makedonske študente v Sloveniji, vlogo študentske skupnosti in možnosti za tesnejše sodelovanje v prihodnje.</p>
<p>Za MŠOS je bilo to pomembno nadaljevanje dogodka. Vloga organizacije ni bila le v tem, da študentom približa informacijo o predavanju, temveč tudi v ustvarjanju prostora, kjer so lahko študenti vključeni v širši pogovor ob predsedničinem obisku.</p>
<p>Srečanje je pokazalo pomemben del delovanja MŠOS: povezovanje študentov z institucijami, omogočanje dostopa do pogovorov, ki jih zadevajo, ter krepitev povezav med makedonsko študentsko skupnostjo v Sloveniji in institucijami obeh držav.</p>
<h2 id="wider-visit">Del širšega uradnega obiska v Sloveniji</h2>
<p>Predavanje je bilo del uradnega obiska predsednice Siljanovske-Davkove v Sloveniji med 17. in 19. majem 2026, ki je potekal na povabilo predsednice Republike Slovenije Nataše Pirc Musar.</p>
<p>Predsednici sta se v Ljubljani pogovarjali o odnosih med državama in evropskem povezovanju Severne Makedonije. Predsednica Siljanovska-Davkova se je srečala tudi s predsednikom Državnega zbora Zoranom Stevanovićem, predstavniki makedonske skupnosti, strokovnjaki makedonskega rodu s področij znanosti, kulture in medicine ter člani Slovensko-makedonskega poslovnega kluba. Uradni program je vključeval tudi obisk Bohinja.</p>
<p>V okviru širšega državnega obiska je predavanje na Pravni fakulteti ustvarilo neposreden stik s študenti in akademsko skupnostjo. Za MŠOS je pomenilo priložnost, da ta del programa približa študentom in pomaga vključiti njihov pogled v pogovore, ki so spremljali obisk.</p>

title: 'SEPA Payments: Practical Aspects and Challenges for Citizens'

<div class="article-body">
<p>For students and families living between North Macedonia and Slovenia, sending euros across borders is not an abstract financial topic. It can mean paying rent, receiving support from home, or understanding why one international payment costs more than another.</p>
<p>On 11 May 2026, MSOS joined the National Bank of the Republic of North Macedonia for an online webinar focused specifically on the practical side of SEPA.</p>
<h2 id="made-possible-with">Made possible with</h2>
<p>The webinar was organised jointly by two partners. The <strong>National Bank of the Republic of North Macedonia</strong> served as co-organiser and expert partner, while <strong>MSOS</strong> acted as co-organiser and provided student community outreach.</p>
<h2 id="why-sepa-mattered">Why SEPA mattered to our community</h2>
<p>For students and families living between North Macedonia and Slovenia, sending euros across borders is not an abstract financial topic. It can mean paying rent, receiving support from home, transferring money between accounts, covering university-related costs, or simply understanding why one international payment costs more than another.</p>
<p>That is why MSOS joined the National Bank of the Republic of North Macedonia to organise a public webinar focused specifically on the practical side of SEPA.</p>
<p>North Macedonia became part of the geographical scope of the Single Euro Payments Area in March 2025, and Macedonian banks began joining the SEPA payment schemes later that year. This opened the way for faster, more standardised, and more cost-efficient euro transfers between North Macedonia and other SEPA countries, including Slovenia.</p>
<p>The aim of the webinar was to translate that institutional change into information people could actually use.</p>
<h2 id="everyday-payments">From the system to everyday payments</h2>
<p>The main presentation was delivered by <strong>Anita Hegjkezi</strong>, Head of Section in the Payment Systems Directorate, and <strong>Miki Velichkovik</strong>, analyst at the National Bank of the Republic of North Macedonia.</p>
<p>Rather than focusing only on financial terminology, the session explained SEPA through the questions most relevant to citizens. Participants learned what joining the SEPA area changes, how euro transfers are processed, what users should expect from their banks, and which practical benefits may appear when sending or receiving money across borders.</p>
<p>For students in Slovenia, the topic was particularly relevant because many regularly interact with bank accounts in both countries. Understanding the system helps people compare transfer options, recognise the information their bank may request, and make more informed decisions when moving money between North Macedonia and Slovenia.</p>
<h2 id="questions">Questions from students and parents</h2>
<p>The webinar concluded with an open question-and-answer session.</p>
<p>The 20 participants, including students and parents, were able to ask about the practical situations that matter to them directly. This was an important part of the format because changes in payment systems often become clearer only when they are connected to a real transfer, a bank account, or a specific problem someone has already encountered.</p>
<p>The session gave participants an opportunity to receive explanations directly from specialists working with payment systems at the National Bank, rather than relying only on fragmented information from banks, social media, or informal conversations.</p>
<h2 id="why-collaboration">Bringing expert information closer to students</h2>
<p>The webinar reflected one of the ways MSOS can support students beyond social and community activities.</p>
<p>When a change directly affects everyday student life, the organisation can help connect the community with the institution that has the expertise to explain it. In this case, cooperation with the National Bank created a direct channel between students, families, and specialists working on the payment system itself.</p>
<p>For MSOS, the value of the event was not simply explaining what the abbreviation SEPA means. It was helping students understand how a major financial change can affect the practical reality of living between two countries.</p>

title: 'Плаќања преку СЕПА: практични аспекти и предизвици за граѓаните'
subtitle: Онлајн средба со Народната банка на Република Северна Македонија им помогна на студентите и родителите подобро да разберат што значи СЕПА за секојдневните плаќања во евра меѓу Северна Македонија, Словенија и поширокиот европски простор.

<div class="article-body">
<p>За студентите и семејствата кои живеат меѓу Северна Македонија и Словенија, испраќањето евра преку граница не е апстрактна финансиска тема. Тоа може да значи плаќање кирија, примање поддршка од дома или едноставно разбирање зошто една меѓународна трансакција чини повеќе од друга.</p>
<p>На 11 мај 2026 година, МСОС заедно со Народната банка на Република Северна Македонија организираше онлајн вебинар посветен на практичната страна на СЕПА.</p>
<h2 id="made-possible-with">Овозможено во соработка со</h2>
<p>Вебинарот беше организиран заедно од двајца партнери. <strong>Народната банка на Република Северна Македонија</strong> беше коорганизатор и стручен партнер, а <strong>МСОС</strong> коорганизатор и поврзувач со студентската заедница.</p>
<h2 id="why-sepa-mattered">Зошто СЕПА е важна за нашата заедница</h2>
<p>За студентите и семејствата кои живеат меѓу Северна Македонија и Словенија, испраќањето евра преку граница не е апстрактна финансиска тема. Тоа може да значи плаќање кирија, примање финансиска поддршка од дома, префрлање пари меѓу сметки, покривање трошоци поврзани со студирањето, или едноставно разбирање зошто една меѓународна трансакција чини повеќе од друга.</p>
<p>Токму затоа МСОС заедно со Народната банка на Република Северна Македонија организираше јавен вебинар посветен на практичната страна на СЕПА.</p>
<p>Северна Македонија стана дел од географскиот опфат на Единствената област за плаќања во евра во март 2025 година, а подоцна истата година македонските банки започнаа да се приклучуваат кон платежните шеми на СЕПА. Со тоа се отвори пат за побрзи, постандардизирани и поекономични трансфери во евра меѓу Северна Македонија и другите земји во СЕПА, меѓу кои и Словенија.</p>
<p>Целта на вебинарот беше оваа институционална промена да се претвори во информација што луѓето можат практично да ја користат.</p>
<h2 id="everyday-payments">Од системот до секојдневните плаќања</h2>
<p>Главната презентација ја одржаа <strong>Анита Хеѓкези</strong>, раководител на отсек во Дирекцијата за платни системи, и <strong>Мики Величковиќ</strong>, аналитичар во Народната банка на Република Северна Македонија.</p>
<p>Наместо фокусот да биде само на финансиска терминологија, СЕПА беше објаснета преку прашања што се важни за секојдневните корисници. Учесниците добија појасна слика за тоа што се менува со приклучувањето кон СЕПА, како се обработуваат плаќањата во евра, што можат да очекуваат од своите банки и кои практични придобивки може да ги донесе испраќањето и примањето средства преку граница.</p>
<p>За студентите во Словенија, темата е особено релевантна бидејќи многумина редовно користат банкарски сметки во двете земји. Разбирањето на системот помага полесно да се споредуваат опциите за трансфер, да се разберат барањата на банките и да се донесуваат поинформирани одлуки при префрлање средства меѓу Северна Македонија и Словенија.</p>
<h2 id="questions">Прашања од студентите и родителите</h2>
<p>Вебинарот заврши со отворена сесија за прашања и одговори.</p>
<p>Дваесетте учесници, меѓу кои студенти и родители, имаа можност директно да отворат практични прашања кои ги засегаат. Овој формат беше важен затоа што промените во платежните системи најлесно се разбираат кога ќе се поврзат со конкретен трансфер, банкарска сметка или ситуација со која некој веќе се соочил.</p>
<p>На овој начин, учесниците добија одговори директно од стручни лица кои работат со платежните системи во Народната банка, наместо да се потпираат само на делумни информации од банки, социјални мрежи или неформални разговори.</p>
<h2 id="why-collaboration">Стручните информации поблиску до студентите</h2>
<p>Вебинарот покажа еден од начините на кои МСОС може да им биде корисен на студентите и надвор од социјалните и заедничките активности.</p>
<p>Кога некоја промена директно влијае врз секојдневниот студентски живот, организацијата може да ја поврзе заедницата со институцијата која има стручно знаење да ја објасни. Во овој случај, соработката со Народната банка создаде директен канал меѓу студентите, семејствата и експертите кои работат на самиот платежен систем.</p>
<p>Вредноста на настанот не беше само во објаснувањето што значи кратенката СЕПА. Поважно беше студентите да разберат како една голема промена во финансискиот систем може практично да влијае врз животот меѓу две земји.</p>

<p>MŠOS je 11. maja 2026 skupaj z Narodno banko Republike Severne Makedonije pripravil spletni webinar, namenjen praktični strani sistema SEPA.</p>
<h2 id="made-possible-with">Omogočeno v sodelovanju z</h2>
<p>Webinar sta skupaj pripravila dva partnerja. <strong>Narodna banka Republike Severne Makedonije</strong> je bila soorganizatorka in strokovna partnerica, <strong>MŠOS</strong> pa soorganizator in povezovalec s študentsko skupnostjo.</p>
<h2 id="why-sepa-mattered">Zakaj je SEPA pomembna za našo skupnost</h2>
<p>Za študente in družine, ki živijo med Severno Makedonijo in Slovenijo, pošiljanje evrov čez mejo ni abstraktna finančna tema. Gre lahko za plačilo najemnine, prejemanje podpore od doma, prenos denarja med računi, stroške študija ali preprosto vprašanje, zakaj je eno mednarodno nakazilo dražje od drugega.</p>
<p>Zato je MŠOS skupaj z Narodno banko Republike Severne Makedonije pripravil javni webinar, namenjen praktični strani sistema SEPA.</p>
<p>Severna Makedonija je marca 2025 postala del geografskega območja enotnega območja plačil v evrih, pozneje istega leta pa so se makedonske banke začele vključevati v plačilne sheme SEPA. S tem se je odprla pot za hitrejša, bolj standardizirana in stroškovno učinkovitejša evrska nakazila med Severno Makedonijo in drugimi državami SEPA, med njimi Slovenijo.</p>
<p>Namen webinarja je bil institucionalno spremembo pretvoriti v informacije, ki jih lahko ljudje dejansko uporabijo.</p>
<h2 id="everyday-payments">Od sistema do vsakodnevnih plačil</h2>
<p>Glavno predstavitev sta izvedla <strong>Anita Hegjkezi</strong>, vodja oddelka v Direkciji za plačilne sisteme, in <strong>Miki Velichkovik</strong>, analitik pri Narodni banki Republike Severne Makedonije.</p>
<p>Srečanje ni bilo namenjeno le finančni terminologiji. Sistem SEPA je bil predstavljen skozi vprašanja, pomembna za običajne uporabnike. Udeleženci so izvedeli, kaj vključitev v območje SEPA pomeni, kako potekajo evrska nakazila, kaj lahko uporabniki pričakujejo od svojih bank in katere praktične koristi lahko prinese pošiljanje ali prejemanje denarja čez mejo.</p>
<p>Za študente v Sloveniji je bila tema še posebej pomembna, saj mnogi uporabljajo bančne račune v obeh državah. Razumevanje sistema pomaga pri primerjavi možnosti nakazil, razumevanju zahtev bank in sprejemanju bolj premišljenih odločitev pri prenosu denarja med Severno Makedonijo in Slovenijo.</p>
<h2 id="questions">Vprašanja študentov in staršev</h2>
<p>Webinar se je zaključil z odprtim delom za vprašanja in odgovore.</p>
<p>Dvajset udeležencev, med njimi študenti in starši, je lahko neposredno odprlo praktična vprašanja, ki jih zadevajo. Takšen format je bil pomemben, saj spremembe v plačilnih sistemih pogosto postanejo razumljive šele, ko jih povežemo s konkretnim nakazilom, bančnim računom ali težavo, s katero se je nekdo že srečal.</p>
<p>Udeleženci so tako odgovore dobili neposredno od strokovnjakov, ki se pri Narodni banki ukvarjajo s plačilnimi sistemi, namesto da bi se zanašali le na razdrobljene informacije bank, družbenih omrežij ali neformalnih pogovorov.</p>
<h2 id="why-collaboration">Strokovne informacije bližje študentom</h2>
<p>Webinar je pokazal enega od načinov, kako lahko MŠOS študentom pomaga tudi zunaj družabnih in skupnostnih aktivnosti.</p>
<p>Ko sprememba neposredno vpliva na vsakdanje študentsko življenje, lahko organizacija skupnost poveže z institucijo, ki ima znanje za njeno razlago. Sodelovanje z Narodno banko je v tem primeru ustvarilo neposreden kanal med študenti, družinami in strokovnjaki za plačilne sisteme.</p>
<p>Vrednost dogodka zato ni bila le v razlagi, kaj pomeni kratica SEPA. Pomembnejše je bilo razumeti, kako lahko velika sprememba finančnega sistema vpliva na vsakodnevno življenje med dvema državama.</p>

<div class="article-body">
<p>On 28 February 2026, MSOS members came together for a half-day teambuilding that also marked something much bigger for the organisation: the opening of the new MSOS Hub.</p>
<p>After months of work during the winter, the renovated space was finally ready to be shown to the people it was created for.</p>
<p>The gathering was deliberately informal. Members spent the day talking, playing games, eating together, remembering old MSOS stories, and discussing what the organisation has built so far and where it wants to go next.</p>
<p>At the same time, everyone had the chance to see the Hub not simply as a renovated room, but as a new shared space for the student community.</p>
<h2 id="made-possible-with">Made possible with</h2>
<p><strong>Makedonsko kulturno drustvo Makedonija</strong> supported the renovation and development of the Hub. The <strong>Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade of the Republic of North Macedonia</strong> provided financial support for the renovation and development of the space. <strong>MSOS</strong> added further funding from the organisation's own saved finances, together with the renovation work, organisation, and future management of the Hub.</p>
<figure class="article-inline-image">

<figcaption>after a winter of renovation, the Hub was finally ready to welcome the community it was created for.</figcaption>
</figure>
<h2 id="new-space">A new space for the community</h2>
<p>The Hub was renovated during the winter with the support of <strong>Makedonsko kulturno drustvo Makedonija</strong>, financial support from the <strong>Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade of the Republic of North Macedonia</strong>, and part of MSOS's own saved finances.</p>
<p>The goal was never simply to have an office.</p>
<p>MSOS wanted a place that students could actually use. A place for smaller events, workshops, meetings, cultural activities, informal gatherings, project work, celebrations, parties, and the many everyday moments that do not need a large venue but still need a home.</p>
<p>For an organisation built around students living away from Macedonia, having a physical space also creates something less measurable: continuity. It gives members somewhere to meet, plan, create, and return to.</p>
<figure class="article-inline-image">

<figcaption>the Hub was designed as a flexible space for meetings, small events, cultural activities, and student gatherings.</figcaption>
</figure>
<h2 id="people-behind-msos">A day for the people behind MSOS</h2>
<p>The opening was combined with a teambuilding because the space only makes sense when it is connected to the people who keep the organisation moving.</p>
<p>Throughout the day, members talked about MSOS, the activities organised over the years, and the different ways people have contributed to the organisation. There was time to look back, but also to talk about future ideas and how the Hub could help make more of them possible.</p>
<p>The gathering was not structured as a formal meeting. Instead, the programme moved naturally between conversations, games, food, and activities that gave newer and older members a chance to spend time together outside the usual event-planning environment.</p>
<figure class="article-inline-image">

<figcaption>the teambuilding gave members time to reconnect outside the usual rhythm of organising events and projects.</figcaption>
</figure>
<h2 id="games-food-history">Games, homemade food, and a little MSOS history</h2>
<p>One of the activities tested how well members really knew MSOS.</p>
<p>The quiz covered the organisation's roots, past events, projects, and moments from its development. It was a light way to revisit the story of MSOS while giving newer members a chance to discover details they might not have known.</p>
<p>The rest of the day followed the same relaxed rhythm. Homemade food was prepared for the gathering, together with different snacks and drinks. Among the drinks was Skopsko beer, adding a familiar Macedonian detail to a day centred on community.</p>
<p>More than anything, the food and games created the kind of atmosphere the Hub is meant to support in the future: informal, open, and easy to join.</p>
<h2 id="thank-you">A small thank you to the people who keep showing up</h2>
<p>The gathering was also an opportunity to recognise the members who have given their time, ideas, and energy to MSOS.</p>
<p>Members received small thank-you notes as a personal sign of appreciation for their contribution to the organisation.</p>
<p>It was a simple gesture, but an important one. MSOS has grown through people volunteering their time around studies, work, and everyday responsibilities. The Hub itself is another result of that accumulated effort.</p>
<p>Opening the space together therefore felt like the right moment to say thank you.</p>
<h2 id="what-hub-is-for">What the Hub is here for</h2>
<p>The opening on 28 February was only the beginning.</p>
<p>The MSOS Hub is intended to become a flexible home for smaller parts of student life that are often difficult to organise elsewhere. It can host planning meetings, workshops, cultural evenings, smaller educational activities, project sessions, social gatherings, celebrations, parties, and informal meet-ups.</p>
<p>It can also become a place where a new student can enter without needing a formal reason to be there.</p>
<p>The purpose is simple: to give the Macedonian student community in Slovenia a space where ideas can start, people can meet, and smaller moments can grow into future projects.</p>
<p>For MSOS, the Hub is not only a new room. It is infrastructure for the next chapter of the organisation.</p>

<div class="article-body">
<p>На 28 февруари 2026 година, членовите на МСОС се собраа на полудневен тимбилдинг кој воедно означи нешто многу поголемо за организацијата: отворањето на новиот MSOS Hub.</p>
<p>По неколку месеци работа во текот на зимата, реновираниот простор конечно беше подготвен да им се претстави на луѓето за кои е создаден.</p>
<p>Дружењето намерно беше неформално. Членовите разговараа, играа игри, јадеа заедно, се потсетуваа на стари приказни од МСОС и зборуваа за она што организацијата го изградила досега и каде сака да се движи понатаму.</p>
<p>Во исто време, сите имаа можност да го видат Hub-от не само како реновирана просторија, туку како нов заеднички простор за студентската заедница.</p>
<h2 id="made-possible-with">Овозможено со поддршка од</h2>
<p><strong>Македонското културно друштво „Македонија“</strong> ги поддржа реновирањето и развојот на просторот. <strong>Министерството за надворешни работи и надворешна трговија на Република Северна Македонија</strong> обезбеди финансиска поддршка за реновирањето и развојот на просторот. <strong>МСОС</strong> додаде финансирање од сопствените заштедени средства на организацијата, заедно со организацијата на реновирањето и идното управување со Hub-от.</p>
<figure class="article-inline-image">
<img alt="Членови на МСОС за првпат го користат реновираниот MSOS Hub." decoding="async" height="1920" loading="lazy" src="../../../images/teambuilding-2026-made-possible-with-2.webp" width="1440"/>
<figcaption>по зимското реновирање, Hub-от конечно беше подготвен да ја пречека заедницата за која беше создаден.</figcaption>
</figure>
<h2 id="new-space">Нов простор за заедницата</h2>
<p>Hub-от беше реновиран во текот на зимата со поддршка од <strong>Македонското културно друштво „Македонија“</strong>, финансиска поддршка од <strong>Министерството за надворешни работи и надворешна трговија на Република Северна Македонија</strong>, како и со дел од сопствените заштедени средства на МСОС.</p>
<p>Целта никогаш не беше само да имаме канцеларија.</p>
<p>МСОС сакаше простор кој студентите навистина ќе можат да го користат. Простор за помали настани, работилници, состаноци, културни активности, неформални дружења, работа на проекти, прослави, забави и сите оние секојдневни моменти за кои не е потребна голема сала, но сепак им треба свој дом.</p>
<p>За организација изградена околу студенти кои живеат далеку од Македонија, физичкиот простор создава и нешто што е потешко да се измери: континуитет. Им дава на членовите место каде можат да се среќаваат, планираат, создаваат и повторно да се враќаат.</p>
<figure class="article-inline-image">
<img alt="Членови го користат новореновираниот MSOS Hub во Љубљана." decoding="async" height="1440" loading="lazy" src="../../../images/teambuilding-2026-a-new-space-for-the-community-3.webp" width="1920"/>
<figcaption>Hub-от е замислен како флексибилен простор за состаноци, помали настани, културни активности и студентски дружења.</figcaption>
</figure>
<h2 id="people-behind-msos">Ден за луѓето зад МСОС</h2>
<p>Отворањето го споивме со тимбилдинг затоа што просторот има вистинска смисла само кога е поврзан со луѓето кои ја движат организацијата.</p>
<p>Во текот на денот, членовите разговараа за МСОС, за активностите организирани низ годините и за различните начини на кои луѓето придонесувале кон развојот на организацијата. Имаше време за потсетување, но и за разговор за нови идеи и за тоа како Hub-от може да помогне тие идеи полесно да станат реалност.</p>
<p>Дружењето не беше организирано како формален состанок. Наместо тоа, програмата природно се менуваше меѓу разговори, игри, храна и активности кои им дадоа можност на поновите и поискусните членови да поминат време заедно надвор од вообичаениот ритам на организирање настани.</p>
<figure class="article-inline-image">

<figcaption>тимбилдингот им даде можност на членовите да се поврзат надвор од вообичаениот ритам на организирање проекти и настани.</figcaption>
</figure>
<h2 id="games-food-history">Игри, домашна храна и малку историја на МСОС</h2>
<p>Една од активностите провери колку добро членовите навистина го познаваат МСОС.</p>
<p>Квизот ги опфати почетоците на организацијата, претходните настани, проектите и различни моменти од нејзиниот развој. На забавен начин, тоа беше можност повторно да се раскаже приказната на МСОС, а поновите членови да дознаат детали кои можеби претходно не ги знаеле.</p>
<p>Остатокот од денот продолжи во истиот опуштен ритам. Подготвивме домашна храна, различни грицки и пијалаци. Меѓу пијалаците имаше и македонско пиво Скопско, кое внесе уште еден познат македонски детал во денот посветен на заедницата.</p>
<p>Храната и игрите ја создадоа токму онаа атмосфера која сакаме Hub-от да ја има и во иднина: неформална, отворена и лесна за приклучување.</p>
<h2 id="thank-you">Мала благодарност до луѓето кои постојано придонесуваат</h2>
<p>Дружењето беше и можност да им се заблагодариме на членовите кои му даваат време, идеи и енергија на МСОС.</p>
<p>Членовите добија мали лични благодарници како знак на признание за нивниот придонес кон организацијата.</p>
<p>Гестот беше едноставен, но важен. МСОС расте преку луѓето кои покрај студиите, работата и секојдневните обврски доброволно одвојуваат време за заедницата. И самиот Hub е уште еден резултат на тој заеднички труд.</p>
<p>Затоа, отворањето на просторот беше вистинскиот момент да кажеме благодарам.</p>
<h2 id="what-hub-is-for">За што е создаден Hub-от</h2>
<p>Отворањето на 28 февруари беше само почеток.</p>
<p>MSOS Hub е замислен како флексибилен дом за помалите делови од студентскиот живот кои често е тешко да се организираат на друго место. Во него може да се одржуваат состаноци, работилници, културни вечери, помали образовни активности, проектни средби, дружења, прослави, забави и неформални собири.</p>
<p>Може да стане и место каде нов студент ќе може да влезе без да има некоја формална причина да биде таму.</p>
<p>Целта е едноставна: македонската студентска заедница во Словенија да добие простор каде можат да започнат идеи, да се запознаат луѓе и малите моменти да прераснат во идни проекти.</p>
<p>За МСОС, Hub-от не е само нова просторија. Тој е основа за следното поглавје на организацијата.</p>

<div class="article-body">
<p>28. februarja 2026 so se člani MŠOS zbrali na poldnevnem teambuildingu, ki je hkrati zaznamoval pomemben korak za organizacijo: odprtje novega prostora MŠOS Hub.</p>
<p>Po več mesecih dela v zimskem času je bil prenovljen prostor končno pripravljen, da ga predstavimo ljudem, za katere je bil ustvarjen.</p>
<p>Druženje je bilo namenoma neformalno. Člani so se pogovarjali, igrali igre, jedli skupaj, obujali zgodbe iz preteklih let MŠOS ter se pogovarjali o tem, kaj je organizacija do zdaj zgradila in kam želi iti naprej.</p>
<p>Obenem je bil to prvi trenutek, ko so lahko vsi Hub videli ne le kot prenovljen prostor, ampak kot novo skupno mesto za študentsko skupnost.</p>
<h2 id="made-possible-with">Omogočeno s podporo</h2>
<p><strong>Makedonsko kulturno društvo Makedonija</strong> je podprlo prenovo in razvoj prostora. <strong>Ministrstvo za zunanje zadeve in zunanjo trgovino Republike Severne Makedonije</strong> je zagotovilo finančno podporo pri prenovi in razvoju prostora. <strong>MŠOS</strong> je dodal financiranje iz lastnih prihrankov organizacije, skupaj z organizacijo prenove in prihodnjim upravljanjem prostora.</p>
<figure class="article-inline-image">
<img alt="Člani MŠOS med prvim ogledom prenovljenega prostora MŠOS Hub ob odprtju." decoding="async" height="1920" loading="lazy" src="../../../images/teambuilding-2026-made-possible-with-2.webp" width="1440"/>
<figcaption>po zimski prenovi je bil Hub prvič pripravljen sprejeti skupnost, za katero je nastal.</figcaption>
</figure>
<h2 id="new-space">Nov prostor za skupnost</h2>
<p>Hub je bil prenovljen čez zimo s podporo <strong>Makedonskega kulturnega društva Makedonija</strong>, finančno podporo <strong>Ministrstva za zunanje zadeve in zunanjo trgovino Republike Severne Makedonije</strong> ter delom lastnih prihrankov MŠOS.</p>
<p>Cilj ni bil zgolj dobiti pisarno.</p>
<p>MŠOS je želel ustvariti prostor, ki ga študenti lahko dejansko uporabljajo. Prostor za manjše dogodke, delavnice, sestanke, kulturne aktivnosti, neformalna druženja, projektno delo, praznovanja, zabave in vsakodnevne trenutke, za katere velika dvorana ni potrebna, vseeno pa potrebujejo svoj dom.</p>
<p>Za organizacijo, ki povezuje študente daleč od Makedonije, fizični prostor ustvarja tudi nekaj manj oprijemljivega: kontinuiteto. Članom daje prostor, kjer se lahko srečajo, načrtujejo, ustvarjajo in se vračajo.</p>
<figure class="article-inline-image">
<img alt="Člani uporabljajo prenovljen prostor MŠOS Hub v Ljubljani." decoding="async" height="1440" loading="lazy" src="../../../images/teambuilding-2026-a-new-space-for-the-community-3.webp" width="1920"/>
<figcaption>Hub je zasnovan kot prilagodljiv prostor za sestanke, manjše dogodke, kulturne aktivnosti in študentska druženja.</figcaption>
</figure>
<h2 id="people-behind-msos">Dan za ljudi, ki stojijo za MŠOS</h2>
<p>Odprtje smo povezali s teambuildingom, ker prostor dobi pravi pomen šele skozi ljudi, ki organizacijo ohranjajo živo.</p>
<p>Člani so se čez dan pogovarjali o MŠOS, dogodkih iz preteklih let in različnih načinih, kako so posamezniki prispevali k razvoju organizacije. Čas je bil namenjen spominom, pa tudi pogovorom o prihodnjih idejah in o tem, kako lahko Hub pomaga pri njihovi izvedbi.</p>
<p>Druženje ni potekalo kot formalni sestanek. Program je naravno prehajal med pogovori, igrami, hrano in aktivnostmi, ki so novejšim in starejšim članom omogočile, da se bolje spoznajo tudi zunaj običajnega ritma organiziranja dogodkov.</p>

<figcaption>teambuilding je članom omogočil druženje zunaj običajnega ritma priprave dogodkov in projektov.</figcaption>
</figure>
<h2 id="games-food-history">Igre, domača hrana in malo zgodovine MŠOS</h2>
<p>Ena od aktivnosti je preverila, kako dobro člani v resnici poznajo MŠOS.</p>
<p>Kviz je zajemal začetke organizacije, pretekle dogodke, projekte in trenutke iz njenega razvoja. Na sproščen način je obudil zgodbo MŠOS, novejšim članom pa predstavil podrobnosti, ki jih morda še niso poznali.</p>
<p>Preostanek dneva je sledil istemu sproščenemu ritmu. Za druženje smo pripravili domačo hrano, različne prigrizke in pijačo. Med pijačami je bilo tudi makedonsko pivo Skopsko, ki je dnevu dodalo še en domač element.</p>
<p>Hrana in igre so ustvarile prav tisto vzdušje, ki ga želimo v Hubu tudi v prihodnje: neformalno, odprto in prijazno.</p>
<h2 id="thank-you">Majhna zahvala ljudem, ki vedno znova prispevajo</h2>
<p>Druženje je bilo tudi priložnost, da se zahvalimo članom, ki MŠOS namenjajo svoj čas, ideje in energijo.</p>
<p>Člani so prejeli majhne zahvalne zapise kot osebno priznanje za njihov prispevek organizaciji.</p>
<p>Gesta je bila preprosta, vendar pomembna. MŠOS raste zaradi ljudi, ki ob študiju, delu in drugih obveznostih prostovoljno namenjajo svoj čas skupnosti. Tudi sam Hub je rezultat tega skupnega dela.</p>
<p>Odprtje prostora je bilo zato pravi trenutek za iskreno zahvalo.</p>
<h2 id="what-hub-is-for">Čemu je Hub namenjen</h2>
<p>Odprtje 28. februarja je bilo šele začetek.</p>
<p>MŠOS Hub želi postati prilagodljiv prostor za manjše dele študentskega življenja, ki jih je drugje težko organizirati. V njem lahko potekajo sestanki, delavnice, kulturni večeri, manjše izobraževalne aktivnosti, projektna srečanja, druženja, praznovanja, zabave in neformalna srečanja.</p>
<p>Postane lahko tudi prostor, kamor lahko nov študent pride brez posebnega formalnega razloga.</p>
<p>Namen je preprost: makedonski študentski skupnosti v Sloveniji dati prostor, kjer lahko nastajajo ideje, se srečujejo ljudje in iz majhnih trenutkov rastejo prihodnji projekti.</p>
<p>Za MŠOS Hub ni samo nov prostor. Je osnova za naslednje poglavje organizacije.</p>

title: Watching the Football Match Between Macedonia and Wales Together

<div class="article-body">
<p>On 18 November 2025, 45 students gathered at Lepa Žoga in Ljubljana to watch Macedonia play Wales.</p>
<p>The event was simple by design. There was no long programme, formal stage, or complicated schedule. The focus was the match, the atmosphere, and the opportunity for Macedonian students in Slovenia to spend the evening together.</p>
<p>What began as a small sports gathering attracted more people than expected.</p>
<h2 id="short-preparation">A short preparation for a clear idea</h2>
<p>The event was organised between 15 and 18 November.</p>
<p>Hristijan Josifoski coordinated the activity, while Monika Jakimova supported its promotion. The short preparation period meant that the format needed to remain focused and easy to communicate.</p>
<p>The objective was not only to watch one football match.</p>
<p>MSOS wanted to create another opportunity for Macedonians in Slovenia to meet, strengthen the sporting spirit within the community, and see whether similar activities should become more regular.</p>
<p>The event was organised without direct expenditure by MSOS.</p>
<h2 id="forty-five-students">Forty five students in one room</h2>
<p>The response showed that the idea had found the right audience.</p>
<p>Forty five students joined the gathering, more than the organising team had initially expected. The venue brought together people who already knew one another and others who arrived through their connection with the national team and the wider Macedonian student community.</p>
<p>A football match naturally gives people something shared to react to.</p>
<p>Every attack, missed chance, discussion, and change in momentum becomes part of the room. People do not need a formal introduction before they begin speaking. The match creates its own rhythm and gives the gathering a reason to remain active from beginning to end.</p>
<p>That made the evening useful beyond the result on the screen.</p>
<h2 id="sport-as-reason">Sport as a reason to meet</h2>
<p>The event had four connected goals.</p>
<p>It created a social occasion for Macedonians living and studying in Slovenia. It encouraged a shared sporting atmosphere. It tested whether students would respond to this type of activity. It also created a starting point for future social and sports events.</p>
<p>The feedback after the gathering was positive.</p>
<p>The attendance and atmosphere showed that students are interested in events that are easy to join, connected with something they already follow, and organised in a setting where conversation can happen naturally.</p>
<p>This format does not require a large production to work.</p>
<p>It requires the right match, a suitable venue, clear communication, and enough space for people to experience the event together.</p>
<h2 id="format-worth-continuing">A format worth continuing</h2>
<p>The report's main recommendation was direct: organise sports activities more often and explore different formats.</p>
<p>That could include future football matches, handball gatherings, tournaments, outdoor activities, or other shared sports experiences.</p>
<p>The importance of this evening lies in that continuation.</p>
<p>It showed that a sports event can serve two purposes at the same time. It can bring people together around competition, while also helping a student community feel more connected.</p>
<p>Forty five students came to watch Macedonia and Wales.</p>
<p>They also left MSOS with a clear reason to organise the next gathering.</p>

<div class="article-body">
<p>На 18 ноември 2025 година, 45 студенти се собраа во Лепа Жога во Љубљана за заедно да го следат фудбалскиот натпревар меѓу Македонија и Велс.</p>
<p>Настанот намерно беше едноставен. Немаше долга програма, формална сцена или сложен распоред. Во центарот беа натпреварот, атмосферата и можноста македонските студенти во Словенија да ја поминат вечерта заедно.</p>
<p>Она што започна како помал спортски собир привлече повеќе луѓе од очекуваното.</p>
<h2 id="short-preparation">Кратка подготовка за јасна идеја</h2>
<p>Настанот беше организиран во периодот од 15 до 18 ноември.</p>
<p>Христијан Јосифоски ја координираше активноста, а Моника Јакимова работеше на промоцијата. Краткиот период за подготовка значеше дека форматот треба да остане фокусиран и лесен за комуникација.</p>
<p>Целта не беше само да се гледа еден фудбалски натпревар.</p>
<p>МСОС сакаше да создаде уште една можност за дружење на Македонците во Словенија, да го поттикне спортскиот дух во заедницата и да провери дали сличните активности треба да станат почести.</p>
<p>Настанот беше организиран без директни трошоци за МСОС.</p>
<h2 id="forty-five-students">Четириесет и пет студенти во еден простор</h2>
<p>Одѕивот покажа дека идејата ја пронашла вистинската публика.</p>
<p>На собирот присуствуваа 45 студенти, повеќе отколку што организацискиот тим првично очекуваше. Во просторот се собраа луѓе што веќе се познаваа и други што ги поврзуваа репрезентацијата и пошироката македонска студентска заедница.</p>
<p>Фудбалскиот натпревар природно им дава на луѓето нешто заедничко на што можат да реагираат.</p>
<p>Секој напад, пропуштена шанса, дискусија и промена на ритамот стануваат дел од просторијата. На луѓето не им треба формално претставување за да започнат разговор. Натпреварот создава сопствен ритам и му дава енергија на собирот од почеток до крај.</p>
<p>Токму затоа вечерта беше значајна и надвор од резултатот на екранот.</p>
<h2 id="sport-as-reason">Спортот како причина за средба</h2>
<p>Настанот имаше четири поврзани цели.</p>
<p>Создаде прилика за дружење на Македонците што живеат и студираат во Словенија. Поттикна заедничка спортска атмосфера. Провери дали студентите ќе одговорат на ваков тип активност. Создаде и почетна точка за идни социјални и спортски настани.</p>
<p>Повратните реакции по собирот беа позитивни.</p>
<p>Посетеноста и атмосферата покажаа дека студентите се заинтересирани за настани на кои лесно можат да се приклучат, што се поврзани со нешто што веќе го следат и што се одржуваат во средина каде разговорот започнува природно.</p>
<p>На овој формат не му е потребна голема продукција.</p>
<p>Потребни се соодветен натпревар, добро избран простор, јасна комуникација и доволно место луѓето заедно да го доживеат настанот.</p>
<h2 id="format-worth-continuing">Формат што вреди да продолжи</h2>
<p>Главната препорака од извештајот беше директна: спортските активности да се организираат почесто и во различни форми.</p>
<p>Тоа може да вклучува идни фудбалски и ракометни натпревари, турнири, активности на отворено или други заеднички спортски доживувања.</p>
<p>Значењето на оваа вечер е токму во продолжението.</p>
<p>Таа покажа дека еден спортски настан може да има две улоги истовремено. Може да ги собере луѓето околу натпреварувањето и истовремено да ѝ помогне на студентската заедница да се чувствува поповрзана.</p>
<p>Четириесет и пет студенти дојдоа да го гледаат натпреварот меѓу Македонија и Велс.</p>
<p>МСОС замина од вечерта со јасна причина да го организира следниот собир.</p>

<div class="article-body">
<p>18. novembra 2025 se je v Lepi Žogi v Ljubljani zbralo 45 študentov, da bi skupaj spremljali nogometno tekmo med Makedonijo in Walesom.</p>
<p>Dogodek je bil namenoma preprost. Ni imel dolgega programa, formalnega odra ali zapletenega urnika. V ospredju so bili tekma, vzdušje in priložnost, da makedonski študenti v Sloveniji večer preživijo skupaj.</p>
<p>Kar se je začelo kot manjše športno druženje, je pritegnilo več ljudi od pričakovanj.</p>
<h2 id="short-preparation">Kratka priprava za jasno idejo</h2>
<p>Dogodek je bil pripravljen med 15. in 18. novembrom.</p>
<p>Hristijan Josifoski je koordiniral dejavnost, Monika Jakimova pa je skrbela za promocijo. Zaradi kratkega časa priprave je moral format ostati osredotočen in enostaven za predstavitev.</p>
<p>Namen ni bil le ogled ene nogometne tekme.</p>
<p>MSOS je želel ustvariti novo priložnost za druženje Makedoncev v Sloveniji, spodbuditi športni duh v skupnosti in preveriti, ali naj podobne dejavnosti postanejo rednejše.</p>
<p>Dogodek je bil organiziran brez neposrednih stroškov za MSOS.</p>
<h2 id="forty-five-students">Petinštirideset študentov v enem prostoru</h2>
<p>Odziv je pokazal, da je ideja našla pravo občinstvo.</p>
<p>Druženja se je udeležilo 45 študentov, več, kot je organizacijska ekipa sprva pričakovala. V prostoru so se srečali ljudje, ki so se že poznali, in drugi, ki jih je povezovala reprezentanca ter širša makedonska študentska skupnost.</p>
<p>Nogometna tekma ljudem sama ponudi skupno temo.</p>
<p>Vsak napad, zapravljena priložnost, razprava in sprememba ritma postanejo del prostora. Ljudje ne potrebujejo formalne predstavitve, da začnejo govoriti. Tekma ustvari lasten ritem in daje srečanju energijo od začetka do konca.</p>
<p>Zato je bil večer pomemben tudi neodvisno od rezultata na zaslonu.</p>
<h2 id="sport-as-reason">Šport kot razlog za srečanje</h2>
<p>Dogodek je imel štiri povezane cilje.</p>
<p>Ustvaril je družabno priložnost za Makedonce, ki živijo in študirajo v Sloveniji. Spodbujal je skupno športno vzdušje. Preveril je, ali se bodo študenti odzvali na takšno dejavnost. Postavil je tudi izhodišče za prihodnje družabne in športne dogodke.</p>
<p>Povratne informacije po srečanju so bile pozitivne.</p>
<p>Udeležba in vzdušje sta pokazala, da študente zanimajo dogodki, ki se jim lahko preprosto pridružijo, so povezani z nečim, kar že spremljajo, in potekajo v okolju, kjer pogovor nastane naravno.</p>
<p>Takšen format ne potrebuje velike produkcije.</p>
<p>Potrebuje primerno tekmo, ustrezen prostor, jasno komunikacijo in dovolj prostora, da ljudje dogodek doživijo skupaj.</p>
<h2 id="format-worth-continuing">Format, ki ga je vredno nadaljevati</h2>
<p>Glavno priporočilo poročila je bilo jasno: športne aktivnosti naj se organizirajo pogosteje in v različnih oblikah.</p>
<p>To lahko vključuje prihodnje nogometne in rokometne tekme, turnirje, dejavnosti na prostem ali druga skupna športna doživetja.</p>
<p>Pomen tega večera je prav v možnosti nadaljevanja.</p>
<p>Pokazal je, da ima športni dogodek lahko dve vlogi hkrati. Ljudi poveže okoli tekmovanja in obenem pomaga študentski skupnosti, da se počuti bolj povezano.</p>
<p>Petinštirideset študentov je prišlo spremljat Makedonijo in Wales.</p>
<p>MSOS pa je po dogodku dobil jasen razlog za organizacijo naslednjega srečanja.</p>

<p><strong>Planning to continue your studies in Slovenia? Citizens of North Macedonia and several other Western Balkan countries can apply for an Ad futura scholarship for selected second-cycle masters programmes in Slovenia during the 2026/2027 academic year.</strong></p>
<p>The scholarship provides <strong>€800 per month, or €9,600 per academic year</strong>, for living expenses. Applications are open until <strong>2 September 2026</strong>.</p>
<p><em>This guide is based on the official 380th Public Call for 2026. Requirements may change in future years, so always read the complete official call before applying.</em></p>
<h2 id="1-who-can-apply">1. Who can apply?</h2>
<p>The scholarship is open to citizens of <strong>North Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Kosovo and Serbia</strong>.</p>
<p>Applicants must have permanent residence outside Slovenia and must not be Slovenian citizens or long-term residents of Slovenia. They must have completed, or be completing, their undergraduate degree at a higher-education institution in one of the eligible Western Balkan countries.</p>
<p>The scholarship is intended only for <strong>second-cycle masters programmes</strong>. It is not available for undergraduate studies, doctoral studies, exchange programmes or integrated masters programmes.</p>
<p>Applicants must also:</p>
<ul>
<li>be younger than 28 on <strong>1 October 2026</strong>;</li>
<li>have an undergraduate average grade of at least <strong>8.0</strong>, after conversion to the Slovenian grading system;</li>
<li>enrol in an eligible masters programme in Slovenia for 2026/2027;</li>
<li>begin studying during the 2026 calendar year;</li>
<li>live in Slovenia during the scholarship period.</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="2-which-study-areas-are-eligible">2. Which study areas are eligible?</h2>
<p>The scholarship is available only for masters programmes classified in the following areas:</p>
<ol>
<li>Natural sciences, mathematics and statistics</li>
<li>Information and communication technologies</li>
<li>Engineering, manufacturing technologies and construction</li>
<li>Agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary medicine</li>
<li>Health and social welfare</li>
</ol>
<p>The Scholarship Fund decides whether a particular programme belongs to an eligible category by checking Slovenias official higher-education records. Applicants should confirm their programmes classification before applying.</p>
<p>The scholarship can be used at an accredited higher-education institution anywhere in Slovenia, not only at the University of Ljubljana.</p>
<h2 id="3-what-does-the-scholarship-cover">3. What does the scholarship cover?</h2>
<p>Successful applicants receive <strong>€800 per month</strong>, equivalent to <strong>€9,600 for one academic year</strong>. The scholarship covers 12 months and is generally transferred as one payment for the full academic year. It may continue for the minimum duration of the study programme, provided the student meets the conditions for progression.</p>
<p>The official call provides support specifically for <strong>living expenses</strong>. It does not state that tuition fees, accommodation, health insurance, travel, residence-permit costs or study materials are covered. Applicants should therefore check whether tuition applies and prepare a realistic budget.</p>
<p>The scholarship is paid into the students personal bank account, which must be opened with a bank in Slovenia or another country in the European Economic Area.</p>
<h2 id="4-what-are-the-main-conditions">4. What are the main conditions?</h2>
<p>Recipients must have student status and live in Slovenia from <strong>1 October 2026</strong> onward. The programme cannot be conducted entirely through distance learning or only through occasional consultations in Slovenia.</p>
<p>During the funded period, recipients generally cannot:</p>
<ul>
<li>receive a Slovenian state or Zois scholarship;</li>
<li>receive another scholarship or financial support intended for studying in Slovenia;</li>
<li>be employed or self-employed in Slovenia or abroad;</li>
<li>be registered as unemployed;</li>
<li>serve as the manager of a company or director of a private institution.</li>
</ul>
<p>Study exchanges abroad may be possible with the Scholarship Funds prior approval, but they cannot take place in the students country of origin.</p>
<p>Applicants may submit only one application for one study programme.</p>
<h2 id="5-residence-and-the-required-representative-in-slovenia">5. Residence and the required representative in Slovenia</h2>
<p>By the application deadline, applicants must either have registered temporary residence in Slovenia or appoint a representative who legally resides in Slovenia.</p>
<p>The representative receives official correspondence, helps the applicant understand documents issued in Slovenian and represents them during the scholarship procedure. The official power-of-attorney form must be signed by both the applicant and the representative.</p>
<p>Applicants must also apply for a Slovenian temporary residence permit for study purposes before <strong>1 October 2026</strong>. The application can be submitted at a Slovenian embassy or consulate abroad or at the competent administrative unit in Slovenia.</p>
<p>Candidates who do not yet live in Slovenia should find a reliable person with residence in Slovenia who is willing to act as their representative.</p>
<h2 id="6-which-documents-are-required">6. Which documents are required?</h2>
<p>The application package includes an original, fully completed and handwritten signed application form, together with documentation proving that all conditions are met.</p>
<p>The main documents include:</p>
<ol>
<li>The official application form</li>
<li>A completed power of attorney or proof of registered temporary residence in Slovenia</li>
<li>Proof of citizenship</li>
<li>Proof of permanent residence abroad</li>
<li>Proof that an application for a study residence permit has been submitted</li>
<li>Proof of enrolment and information about the study programme</li>
<li>A bachelors diploma or official proof of completion</li>
<li>An official transcript containing all undergraduate grades</li>
<li>An explanation of the grading scale when it differs from the Slovenian system</li>
<li>Documentation about any previous postgraduate enrolment, when applicable</li>
</ol>
<p>Candidates who completed their undergraduate degree after 31 December 2025 must submit an updated transcript issued after 1 January 2026, showing their grades and the dates on which they were obtained.</p>
<p>Documents may be submitted in a foreign language using the <strong>Latin alphabet</strong>, but the Fund may request a certified translation into Slovenian. Documents written in Cyrillic should not be submitted without an appropriate official translation. Originals and certified copies submitted to the Fund may not be returned.</p>
<p>Applicants who wish to receive additional selection points for scientific publications or relevant work experience must submit the prescribed supporting documents. Publications must be properly registered and classified in COBISS, while work experience must be confirmed by the relevant employer.</p>
<h2 id="7-how-are-candidates-selected">7. How are candidates selected?</h2>
<p>The minimum required undergraduate average is <strong>8.0</strong>. If the total amount requested by eligible applicants exceeds the available funding, applications are ranked according to:</p>
<ul>
<li>undergraduate academic performance;</li>
<li>scientific publications and conference participation;</li>
<li>relevant professional experience.</li>
</ul>
<p>Academic performance can provide up to 40 points, while publications can provide up to 30 points. Relevant work experience from 2023, 2024 and 2025 may also be considered when connected to the applicants field of study and lasting at least six months.</p>
<p>The official call contains an apparent inconsistency in this section: the heading states that work experience is worth up to 20 points, while the displayed scoring table lists awards of 5 or 10 points. Applicants relying on these points should request clarification directly from the Scholarship Fund.</p>
<h2 id="8-how-and-when-do-you-apply">8. How and when do you apply?</h2>
<p>The complete application must be submitted in physical form to:</p>
<p><strong>Javni štipendijski, razvojni, invalidski in preživninski sklad Republike Slovenije</strong> Dunajska cesta 20 1000 Ljubljana Slovenia</p>
<p>The envelope must be marked:</p>
<p><strong>“prijava na 380. javni razpis”</strong></p>
<p>Applications can be delivered personally during the Funds business hours or sent by post. Applications sent by email are not accepted.</p>
<p>The deadline is <strong>Wednesday, 2 September 2026</strong>. When sent by registered post, the date of posting is considered the submission date. For ordinary mail or personal delivery, the application must be received by the Fund before the deadline.</p>
<p>Because the application requires documents from universities, public authorities, employers and potentially a certified translator, candidates should start preparing well in advance.</p>
<h2 id="9-what-happens-after-receiving-the-scholarship">9. What happens after receiving the scholarship?</h2>
<p>The Fund issues an official decision to every applicant. Successful candidates then sign a scholarship agreement that defines the payment schedule and their obligations.</p>
<p>Recipients must regularly progress to the next study year, complete the programme within the contractual period and submit proof of successful completion to the Fund. Failure to meet the scholarship conditions can end the scholarship relationship and may create repayment obligations, depending on the agreement and applicable scholarship rules.</p>
<p>For students from North Macedonia, this scholarship can provide significant support for living expenses during a masters degree in Slovenia. However, it applies only to selected study areas, has strict residence and employment conditions and requires a detailed physical application.</p>
<p>Start by confirming that your programme is eligible, checking whether tuition applies, finding a representative in Slovenia when necessary and collecting the documents well before <strong>2 September 2026</strong>.</p>

<li>An explanation of the grading scale when it differs from the Slovenian system</li>
<li>Documentation about any previous postgraduate enrolment, when applicable</li>
</ol>
<p>Candidates who completed their undergraduate degree after 31 December 2025 must submit an updated transcript issued after 1 January 2026, showing their grades and the dates on which they were obtained.</p>
<p>Documents may be submitted in a foreign language using the <strong>Latin alphabet</strong>, but the Fund may request a certified translation into Slovenian. Documents written in Cyrillic should not be submitted without an appropriate official translation. Originals and certified copies submitted to the Fund may not be returned.</p>
<p>Applicants who wish to receive additional selection points for scientific publications or relevant work experience must submit the prescribed supporting documents. Publications must be properly registered and classified in COBISS, while work experience must be confirmed by the relevant employer.</p>
<h2 id="7-how-are-candidates-selected">7. How are candidates selected?</h2>
<p>The minimum required undergraduate average is <strong>8.0</strong>. If the total amount requested by eligible applicants exceeds the available funding, applications are ranked according to:</p>
<ul>
<li>undergraduate academic performance;</li>
<li>scientific publications and conference participation;</li>
<li>relevant professional experience.</li>
</ul>
<p>Academic performance can provide up to 40 points, while publications can provide up to 30 points. Relevant work experience from 2023, 2024 and 2025 may also be considered when connected to the applicants field of study and lasting at least six months.</p>
<p>The official call contains an apparent inconsistency in this section: the heading states that work experience is worth up to 20 points, while the displayed scoring table lists awards of 5 or 10 points. Applicants relying on these points should request clarification directly from the Scholarship Fund.</p>
<h2 id="8-how-and-when-do-you-apply">8. How and when do you apply?</h2>
<p>The complete application must be submitted in physical form to:</p>
<p><strong>Javni štipendijski, razvojni, invalidski in preživninski sklad Republike Slovenije</strong> Dunajska cesta 20 1000 Ljubljana Slovenia</p>
<p>The envelope must be marked:</p>
<p><strong>“prijava na 380. javni razpis”</strong></p>
<p>Applications can be delivered personally during the Funds business hours or sent by post. Applications sent by email are not accepted.</p>
<p>The deadline is <strong>Wednesday, 2 September 2026</strong>. When sent by registered post, the date of posting is considered the submission date. For ordinary mail or personal delivery, the application must be received by the Fund before the deadline.</p>
<p>Because the application requires documents from universities, public authorities, employers and potentially a certified translator, candidates should start preparing well in advance.</p>
<h2 id="9-what-happens-after-receiving-the-scholarship">9. What happens after receiving the scholarship?</h2>
<p>The Fund issues an official decision to every applicant. Successful candidates then sign a scholarship agreement that defines the payment schedule and their obligations.</p>
<p>Recipients must regularly progress to the next study year, complete the programme within the contractual period and submit proof of successful completion to the Fund. Failure to meet the scholarship conditions can end the scholarship relationship and may create repayment obligations, depending on the agreement and applicable scholarship rules.</p>
<p>For students from North Macedonia, this scholarship can provide significant support for living expenses during a masters degree in Slovenia. However, it applies only to selected study areas, has strict residence and employment conditions and requires a detailed physical application.</p>
<p>Start by confirming that your programme is eligible, checking whether tuition applies, finding a representative in Slovenia when necessary and collecting the documents well before <strong>2 September 2026</strong>.</p>

<p>Arriving at the end of your secondary education, with a modest eighteen years behind you, you have to decide where to continue your studies. Will you stay in Macedonia, or perhaps decide to go somewhere abroad (as I decided to continue my education in Slovenia)? Surely the same questions that troubled me are spinning in your head too: "How will I fit into a new environment when I do not know the language?"; "Will I manage to find friends?"; "What will I do without my closest people?".</p>
<p>I am here to tell you that what you are going through is completely normal, but that does not mean it should discourage you from taking your life into your own hands. I am not here to tell you what the situation in Macedonia is like or whether it is good to leave your home (that would be intruding on your privacy), but if you ask me, you deserve to see another system so that you can decide for yourself which one you prefer. For example, leaving home made me love our Skopje and our Macedonia so much more.</p>
<p>Let us return to the topic and hypothetically imagine that you have decided to study abroad. I will be honest and I will not lie to you: the first few months are the hardest. They are filled with many tears, with a feeling of loneliness, and nostalgia and melancholy will prevail within you. But as they say, after the rain comes the sun. Of course you can overcome these states. I would like to tell you that there is some formula you can apply to adapt to a new environment, but unfortunately that is not the case.</p>
<p>I can only tell you what helped me. I arrived in Maribor and felt lonely and sad. I simply did not know what to do with my emotions. I am not an artistic soul, but I began to pour my states and inner unrest into poetry. Those poems of mine helped me to face and accept my reality. I started to share them with my closest people and those around me, and that is how I realised that I am not alone (remember, you are never alone — there is always someone going through the same thing as you).</p>
<p>Of course, that was not enough. My everyday life was monotonous and consisted of going to lectures and studying. I missed those charming Skopje events. So I decided to get to know Maribor's culture and I found my own cultural corner. At those events I met my people (we all have our own type of people, and you will always find a place where you find your type) and many new artists I had never heard of. By meeting new people I also improved my Slovene, which I still do not speak clearly and grammatically correctly — but that is only motivation for me to improve it.</p>
<p>In my teenage life I was not a person who actively did sports. But out of hardship I even started exercising. I run and work out every day. I do not know why, but it gave me a different perspective on life and made me mentally stronger to cope with my loneliness. Evidently there was something to the words: "a healthy body, a healthy spirit."</p>
<p>There are many more little things that helped me start to feel at home in Maribor, but I still believe the most important thing is to stay persistent and brave. Do not give up at the first obstacle, because the world is much more beautiful when you look at it from the arduously-climbed mountain of challenges.</p>

<aside class="guide-box guide-box--warning">
<p class="guide-box-title"><i class="fas fa-triangle-exclamation" aria-hidden="true"></i>Please verify the latest information</p>
<p>Banks may change their account packages, fees, age limits, digital-opening conditions, and required documents. Contact the selected bank before visiting a branch, especially if you are a foreign student with temporary residence.</p>
</aside>
<h2 id="why-useful">Why a Slovenian bank account is useful</h2>
<p>A Slovenian bank account is not always legally required for every student, but it makes everyday life much easier. It is commonly used for student-work payments, scholarships, rent, utility bills, local transfers, SEPA direct debits, and card payments. It also gives you access to Flik, which many students use to split rent, groceries, transport, and other shared expenses.</p>
<p>A foreign SEPA account may still work for some payments, but local employers, student services, landlords, and institutions often find a Slovenian account more practical. For most students who plan to live, work, and study in Slovenia for more than a short period, opening one is worth considering.</p>
<h2 id="what-you-need">What you normally need</h2>
<p>The exact list differs between banks, but an incoming student should normally prepare the following documents and information.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>A valid passport.</strong> Bring the original document. The bank records your citizenship, passport number, issuing country, and expiry date.</li>
<li><strong>A Slovenian tax number, or davčna številka.</strong> Foreign citizens obtain it from FURS by submitting form DR-02. The request can normally be submitted personally, by post, or through an authorised person. FURS states that the certificate is generally issued within eight days after receiving a complete request. More information is available on the <a href="https://www.fu.gov.si/en/life_events_individuals/obtaining_a_tax_identification_number_for_a_foreign_natural_person" target="_blank" rel="noopener">official FURS page</a>.</li>
<li><strong>Proof of lawful stay and residence.</strong> Bring your temporary residence permit if it has already been issued. Depending on the bank and the stage of your move, it may also request proof of a submitted residence application, temporary-address registration, rental contract, or dormitory confirmation.</li>
<li><strong>Proof of student status.</strong> For a student or youth package, bring a current certificate of enrolment, or potrdilo o vpisu. A student card or admission letter may also be useful, but the certificate of enrolment is normally the safest document.</li>
<li><strong>Your permanent and temporary addresses.</strong> The bank may record both your permanent address in Macedonia and your current address in Slovenia. Bring official evidence where available.</li>
<li><strong>Tax-residency information.</strong> The bank will ask in which country or countries you are resident for tax purposes and may request your tax number for each country. Having a Slovenian tax number does not automatically mean that you are a Slovenian tax resident. Contact FURS if you are unsure about your status.</li>
<li><strong>A Slovenian phone number and email address.</strong> These are commonly used for mobile banking, security messages, card notifications, and Flik activation.</li>
</ol>
<p>The bank may also ask how the account will be used and where incoming funds will come from. A student can normally explain that the account will be used for living expenses, rent, student-work income, scholarships, and transfers from family.</p>
<h2 id="how-to-open">How to open the account</h2>
<ol>
<li><strong>Obtain your Slovenian tax number first.</strong> This is one of the documents most frequently requested by banks.</li>
<li><strong>Compare student and youth packages.</strong> Do not look only at the monthly fee. Check the age limit, ATM withdrawal fees, included transfers, debit-card costs, Flik availability, mobile-banking functions, and what happens after graduation or after you reach the package age limit.</li>
<li><strong>Contact the branch before visiting.</strong> Explain that you are a citizen of North Macedonia, an international student, and a temporary resident in Slovenia. Ask for the exact document list. Online account opening is often limited to Slovenian citizens or permanent residents, so visiting a branch is usually the safer option for a newly arrived student.</li>
<li><strong>Bring original documents and printed copies.</strong> A passport, tax-number certificate, residence permit, address evidence, and certificate of enrolment should cover most requests, but the bank may ask for additional information.</li>
<li><strong>Complete the banks declarations.</strong> You will normally be asked about citizenship, tax residence, expected account activity, source of funds, and whether you are a politically exposed person.</li>
<li><strong>Activate your services.</strong> Before leaving, ask when the debit card and PIN will arrive, how to activate mobile banking and Flik, which withdrawals are free, and how future document updates should be submitted.</li>
</ol>
<h2 id="banks">Banks commonly considered by students</h2>
<p>The options below are not ranked and should not be treated as formal recommendations. Packages change, so confirm the current conditions directly with the bank.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>NLB</strong> offers the NLB Osnovni račun, currently promoted as free for young people up to the stated age limit. The published basic requirements include a valid identity document and Slovenian tax number, while proof of student status may be required for selected offers. Its services include NLB Klik, NLB Pay, Flik, and supported mobile wallets. See the <a href="https://www.nlb.si/osebno/racuni-in-paketi/osnovni-racun" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NLB account page</a>.</li>
<li><strong>OTP banka</strong> offers Paket Vizija for young people under the published age limit. Its current information lists an identity document, Slovenian tax-number certificate, and proof of schooling or student status. The package includes access to mobile and online banking, Flik, and supported mobile wallets. See <a href="https://www.otpbanka.si/paket-vizija" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Paket Vizija</a>.</li>
<li><strong>Intesa Sanpaolo Bank</strong> offers a Youth Account or Youth Package for students and young people. A branch normally requires a valid identity document and tax number, while a foreign student should also bring residence, address, and enrolment evidence. App-based account opening has stricter eligibility conditions, so foreign students should contact a branch. See the <a href="https://www.intesasanpaolobank.si/en/prebivalstvo/paketi-in-racuni/transakcijski-racun-mladih.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Youth Account page</a>.</li>
<li><strong>UniCredit Bank Slovenia</strong> offers the Sproščeni Mladi package for young people and students under the published age limit. The bank lists a valid identity document and Slovenian tax number as basic requirements, but foreign customers may be asked for additional residence and address evidence. See the <a href="https://www.unicreditbank.si/si/prebivalstvo/osebne-finance/bancni-paket-digitalni-in-mladi.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">young customer package</a>.</li>
<li><strong>Banka Sparkasse</strong> offers the Udobni Študentski račun. Its published information lists an identity document, Slovenian tax number, and certificate of enrolment for the student account. See the <a href="https://www.sparkasse.si/sl/prebivalstvo/pogosta-vprasanja/kaj-potrebujem-za-odprtje-osebnega-transakcijskega-racuna" target="_blank" rel="noopener">account-opening requirements</a>.</li>
<li><strong>Delavska hranilnica</strong> offers the DH EYCA Mladostni paket for young people and students under its published conditions. A valid identity document, Slovenian tax number, and proof of student status are normally required. See the <a href="https://www.dh.si/racuni-in-kartice/dh-eyca-mladostni-paket/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DH EYCA package</a>.</li>
</ol>
<p>If a bank does not approve a normal account, ask whether you qualify for an <strong>osnovni plačilni račun</strong>, or basic payment account. A person who legally resides in the European Union and does not already have a Slovenian transaction account may have the right to request this type of account. It covers essential services such as receiving money, withdrawals, card payments, transfers, direct debits, and standing orders. More information is available from <a href="https://www.bsi.si/storage/uploads/551f0c02-5299-49cc-ac02-c1661d804758/LETAK-Osnovni-rac%CC%8Cun-splet.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Banka Slovenije</a>.</p>
<h2 id="keep-updated">Keep your information updated after opening the account</h2>
<p>Opening the account is not the final administrative step. Banks are required to keep customer information current, and foreign students should report important changes without waiting for the bank to contact them.</p>
<p>Every time you renew your temporary residence permit, bring the new permit to the bank or ask how it should be submitted securely. This should normally be done each year, because the bank may need valid evidence after the previous document expires.</p>
<p>You should also notify the bank if your permanent or temporary address changes, if you receive a new passport, if your name or citizenship information changes, or if you change your phone number or email address. An outdated phone number can block authentication codes and security notifications.</p>
<p>Tax residency must also remain accurate. Inform the bank if you become a Slovenian tax resident, cease to be one, or remain tax resident in Macedonia. The bank may ask you to complete a new CRS self-certification. A Slovenian tax number and Slovenian tax residency are not the same thing, so consult FURS when your situation is unclear.</p>
<h2 id="flik">Flik and mobile banking</h2>
<p>Flik is a Slovenian instant-payment service that allows users of participating banks to send and receive money using a phone number or email address. Payments usually arrive within seconds and work throughout the day, including weekends and public holidays.</p>
<p>Students commonly use Flik to split rent and utility costs, repay friends, share grocery expenses, collect money for an event, or request payment without entering an IBAN. The exact app depends on the bank. NLB uses NLB Pay, Sparkasse uses M.Stik, Delavska hranilnica uses DH Denarnik, while several banks support Flik Pay or integrate Flik into their own mobile-banking application. A list of participating banks is available on the <a href="https://www.flik.si/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">official Flik website</a> and through <a href="https://www.bankart.si/flik-pay/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bankart</a>.</p>
<p>When comparing bank apps, check whether they support QR bill scanning, SEPA and instant payments, Flik, card freezing, card-limit changes, payment notifications, online-purchase confirmation, digital statements, and Apple Pay or Google Pay. Not every bank offers the same features or activates them in the same way for foreign customers.</p>
<h2 id="tips">Tips from MSOS students</h2>
<ol>
<li><strong>Book an appointment and bring more documents than the minimum.</strong> A foreign-student account may take longer to process. Carry your passport, Slovenian and Macedonian tax numbers, residence permit, address evidence, certificate of enrolment, and Slovenian phone number.</li>
<li><strong>Ask what happens when your student status ends.</strong> A free account may become paid after graduation, employment, loss of status, or reaching the package age limit. Ask whether the bank changes the package automatically and what the new monthly cost will be.</li>
<li><strong>Compare ATM and transaction fees.</strong> A package with no monthly fee can still charge for withdrawals at other banks, foreign-card use, paper statements, international transfers, or services completed at a bank counter.</li>
<li><strong>Use Flik for everyday shared expenses.</strong> It is often faster than cash and more convenient than entering an IBAN each time.</li>
<li><strong>NLB Macedonia customers may have a useful benefit.</strong> NLB Banka in Macedonia states that its debit-card customers can withdraw euros without an NLB withdrawal commission at NLB Group ATMs in Slovenia. Use an ATM clearly marked as part of the NLB Group. Currency conversion may still apply if the Macedonian account is held in denars, so commission-free does not always mean cost-free. Check the current conditions on the <a href="https://www.nlb.mk/fizicki-lica/soveti-dokumenti-i-alatki/karticki/dali-imam-trosoci-za-podignuvanje-na-gotovina-so-debitna-kartick" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NLB Banka Macedonia page</a>.</li>
<li><strong>Be careful with ATM conversion and security messages.</strong> When withdrawing with a foreign card, read the exchange-rate offer before accepting conversion. Never share your PIN, mobile-banking password, or one-time security code through an unexpected message or link.</li>
</ol>
<p>Before visiting a bank, make sure you have a valid passport, Slovenian tax number, residence evidence, proof of address, certificate of enrolment, contact details, and information about your tax residency and expected account use.</p>
<h2 id="sources">Sources and further information</h2>
<p>For account eligibility and the exact document list, contact the selected bank directly. For a Slovenian tax number or tax-residency questions, consult <a href="https://www.fu.gov.si/en/life_events_individuals/obtaining_a_tax_identification_number_for_a_foreign_natural_person" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FURS</a>. For rights relating to a basic payment account or complaints about financial services, consult <a href="https://www.bsi.si/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Banka Slovenije</a>. For residence documentation, contact the responsible upravna enota or the Slovenian Embassy in Skopje.</p>
<p>MSOS can explain the process and share student experience, but the bank makes the final decision about required documents, account eligibility, and package conditions.</p>

<p>Banks may change their account packages, fees, age limits, digital-opening conditions, and required documents. Contact the selected bank before visiting a branch, especially if you are a foreign student with temporary residence.</p>
</aside>
<h2 id="why-useful">Why a Slovenian bank account is useful</h2>
<p>A Slovenian bank account is not always legally required for every student, but it makes everyday life much easier. It is commonly used for student-work payments, scholarships, rent, utility bills, local transfers, SEPA direct debits, and card payments. It also gives you access to Flik, which many students use to split rent, groceries, transport, and other shared expenses.</p>
<p>A foreign SEPA account may still work for some payments, but local employers, student services, landlords, and institutions often find a Slovenian account more practical. For most students who plan to live, work, and study in Slovenia for more than a short period, opening one is worth considering.</p>
<h2 id="what-you-need">What you normally need</h2>
<p>The exact list differs between banks, but an incoming student should normally prepare the following documents and information.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>A valid passport.</strong> Bring the original document. The bank records your citizenship, passport number, issuing country, and expiry date.</li>
<li><strong>A Slovenian tax number, or davčna številka.</strong> Foreign citizens obtain it from FURS by submitting form DR-02. The request can normally be submitted personally, by post, or through an authorised person. FURS states that the certificate is generally issued within eight days after receiving a complete request. More information is available on the <a href="https://www.fu.gov.si/en/life_events_individuals/obtaining_a_tax_identification_number_for_a_foreign_natural_person" rel="noopener" target="_blank">official FURS page</a>.</li>
<li><strong>Proof of lawful stay and residence.</strong> Bring your temporary residence permit if it has already been issued. Depending on the bank and the stage of your move, it may also request proof of a submitted residence application, temporary-address registration, rental contract, or dormitory confirmation.</li>
<li><strong>Proof of student status.</strong> For a student or youth package, bring a current certificate of enrolment, or potrdilo o vpisu. A student card or admission letter may also be useful, but the certificate of enrolment is normally the safest document.</li>
<li><strong>Your permanent and temporary addresses.</strong> The bank may record both your permanent address in Macedonia and your current address in Slovenia. Bring official evidence where available.</li>
<li><strong>Tax-residency information.</strong> The bank will ask in which country or countries you are resident for tax purposes and may request your tax number for each country. Having a Slovenian tax number does not automatically mean that you are a Slovenian tax resident. Contact FURS if you are unsure about your status.</li>
<li><strong>A Slovenian phone number and email address.</strong> These are commonly used for mobile banking, security messages, card notifications, and Flik activation.</li>
</ol>
<p>The bank may also ask how the account will be used and where incoming funds will come from. A student can normally explain that the account will be used for living expenses, rent, student-work income, scholarships, and transfers from family.</p>
<h2 id="how-to-open">How to open the account</h2>
<ol>
<li><strong>Obtain your Slovenian tax number first.</strong> This is one of the documents most frequently requested by banks.</li>
<li><strong>Compare student and youth packages.</strong> Do not look only at the monthly fee. Check the age limit, ATM withdrawal fees, included transfers, debit-card costs, Flik availability, mobile-banking functions, and what happens after graduation or after you reach the package age limit.</li>
<li><strong>Contact the branch before visiting.</strong> Explain that you are a citizen of North Macedonia, an international student, and a temporary resident in Slovenia. Ask for the exact document list. Online account opening is often limited to Slovenian citizens or permanent residents, so visiting a branch is usually the safer option for a newly arrived student.</li>
<li><strong>Bring original documents and printed copies.</strong> A passport, tax-number certificate, residence permit, address evidence, and certificate of enrolment should cover most requests, but the bank may ask for additional information.</li>
<li><strong>Complete the banks declarations.</strong> You will normally be asked about citizenship, tax residence, expected account activity, source of funds, and whether you are a politically exposed person.</li>
<li><strong>Activate your services.</strong> Before leaving, ask when the debit card and PIN will arrive, how to activate mobile banking and Flik, which withdrawals are free, and how future document updates should be submitted.</li>
</ol>
<h2 id="banks">Banks commonly considered by students</h2>
<p>The options below are not ranked and should not be treated as formal recommendations. Packages change, so confirm the current conditions directly with the bank.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>NLB</strong> offers the NLB Osnovni račun, currently promoted as free for young people up to the stated age limit. The published basic requirements include a valid identity document and Slovenian tax number, while proof of student status may be required for selected offers. Its services include NLB Klik, NLB Pay, Flik, and supported mobile wallets. See the <a href="https://www.nlb.si/osebno/racuni-in-paketi/osnovni-racun" rel="noopener" target="_blank">NLB account page</a>.</li>
<li><strong>OTP banka</strong> offers Paket Vizija for young people under the published age limit. Its current information lists an identity document, Slovenian tax-number certificate, and proof of schooling or student status. The package includes access to mobile and online banking, Flik, and supported mobile wallets. See <a href="https://www.otpbanka.si/paket-vizija" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Paket Vizija</a>.</li>
<li><strong>Intesa Sanpaolo Bank</strong> offers a Youth Account or Youth Package for students and young people. A branch normally requires a valid identity document and tax number, while a foreign student should also bring residence, address, and enrolment evidence. App-based account opening has stricter eligibility conditions, so foreign students should contact a branch. See the <a href="https://www.intesasanpaolobank.si/en/prebivalstvo/paketi-in-racuni/transakcijski-racun-mladih.html" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Youth Account page</a>.</li>
<li><strong>UniCredit Bank Slovenia</strong> offers the Sproščeni Mladi package for young people and students under the published age limit. The bank lists a valid identity document and Slovenian tax number as basic requirements, but foreign customers may be asked for additional residence and address evidence. See the <a href="https://www.unicreditbank.si/si/prebivalstvo/osebne-finance/bancni-paket-digitalni-in-mladi.html" rel="noopener" target="_blank">young customer package</a>.</li>
<li><strong>Banka Sparkasse</strong> offers the Udobni Študentski račun. Its published information lists an identity document, Slovenian tax number, and certificate of enrolment for the student account. See the <a href="https://www.sparkasse.si/sl/prebivalstvo/pogosta-vprasanja/kaj-potrebujem-za-odprtje-osebnega-transakcijskega-racuna" rel="noopener" target="_blank">account-opening requirements</a>.</li>
<li><strong>Delavska hranilnica</strong> offers the DH EYCA Mladostni paket for young people and students under its published conditions. A valid identity document, Slovenian tax number, and proof of student status are normally required. See the <a href="https://www.dh.si/racuni-in-kartice/dh-eyca-mladostni-paket/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">DH EYCA package</a>.</li>
</ol>
<p>If a bank does not approve a normal account, ask whether you qualify for an <strong>osnovni plačilni račun</strong>, or basic payment account. A person who legally resides in the European Union and does not already have a Slovenian transaction account may have the right to request this type of account. It covers essential services such as receiving money, withdrawals, card payments, transfers, direct debits, and standing orders. More information is available from <a href="https://www.bsi.si/storage/uploads/551f0c02-5299-49cc-ac02-c1661d804758/LETAK-Osnovni-rac%CC%8Cun-splet.pdf" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Banka Slovenije</a>.</p>
<h2 id="keep-updated">Keep your information updated after opening the account</h2>
<p>Opening the account is not the final administrative step. Banks are required to keep customer information current, and foreign students should report important changes without waiting for the bank to contact them.</p>
<p>Every time you renew your temporary residence permit, bring the new permit to the bank or ask how it should be submitted securely. This should normally be done each year, because the bank may need valid evidence after the previous document expires.</p>
<p>You should also notify the bank if your permanent or temporary address changes, if you receive a new passport, if your name or citizenship information changes, or if you change your phone number or email address. An outdated phone number can block authentication codes and security notifications.</p>
<p>Tax residency must also remain accurate. Inform the bank if you become a Slovenian tax resident, cease to be one, or remain tax resident in Macedonia. The bank may ask you to complete a new CRS self-certification. A Slovenian tax number and Slovenian tax residency are not the same thing, so consult FURS when your situation is unclear.</p>
<h2 id="flik">Flik and mobile banking</h2>
<p>Flik is a Slovenian instant-payment service that allows users of participating banks to send and receive money using a phone number or email address. Payments usually arrive within seconds and work throughout the day, including weekends and public holidays.</p>
<p>Students commonly use Flik to split rent and utility costs, repay friends, share grocery expenses, collect money for an event, or request payment without entering an IBAN. The exact app depends on the bank. NLB uses NLB Pay, Sparkasse uses M.Stik, Delavska hranilnica uses DH Denarnik, while several banks support Flik Pay or integrate Flik into their own mobile-banking application. A list of participating banks is available on the <a href="https://www.flik.si/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">official Flik website</a> and through <a href="https://www.bankart.si/flik-pay/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Bankart</a>.</p>
<p>When comparing bank apps, check whether they support QR bill scanning, SEPA and instant payments, Flik, card freezing, card-limit changes, payment notifications, online-purchase confirmation, digital statements, and Apple Pay or Google Pay. Not every bank offers the same features or activates them in the same way for foreign customers.</p>
<h2 id="tips">Tips from MSOS students</h2>
<ol>
<li><strong>Book an appointment and bring more documents than the minimum.</strong> A foreign-student account may take longer to process. Carry your passport, Slovenian and Macedonian tax numbers, residence permit, address evidence, certificate of enrolment, and Slovenian phone number.</li>
<li><strong>Ask what happens when your student status ends.</strong> A free account may become paid after graduation, employment, loss of status, or reaching the package age limit. Ask whether the bank changes the package automatically and what the new monthly cost will be.</li>
<li><strong>Compare ATM and transaction fees.</strong> A package with no monthly fee can still charge for withdrawals at other banks, foreign-card use, paper statements, international transfers, or services completed at a bank counter.</li>
<li><strong>Use Flik for everyday shared expenses.</strong> It is often faster than cash and more convenient than entering an IBAN each time.</li>
<li><strong>NLB Macedonia customers may have a useful benefit.</strong> NLB Banka in Macedonia states that its debit-card customers can withdraw euros without an NLB withdrawal commission at NLB Group ATMs in Slovenia. Use an ATM clearly marked as part of the NLB Group. Currency conversion may still apply if the Macedonian account is held in denars, so commission-free does not always mean cost-free. Check the current conditions on the <a href="https://www.nlb.mk/fizicki-lica/soveti-dokumenti-i-alatki/karticki/dali-imam-trosoci-za-podignuvanje-na-gotovina-so-debitna-kartick" rel="noopener" target="_blank">NLB Banka Macedonia page</a>.</li>
<li><strong>Be careful with ATM conversion and security messages.</strong> When withdrawing with a foreign card, read the exchange-rate offer before accepting conversion. Never share your PIN, mobile-banking password, or one-time security code through an unexpected message or link.</li>
</ol>
<p>Before visiting a bank, make sure you have a valid passport, Slovenian tax number, residence evidence, proof of address, certificate of enrolment, contact details, and information about your tax residency and expected account use.</p>
<h2 id="sources">Sources and further information</h2>
<p>For account eligibility and the exact document list, contact the selected bank directly. For a Slovenian tax number or tax-residency questions, consult <a href="https://www.fu.gov.si/en/life_events_individuals/obtaining_a_tax_identification_number_for_a_foreign_natural_person" rel="noopener" target="_blank">FURS</a>. For rights relating to a basic payment account or complaints about financial services, consult <a href="https://www.bsi.si/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Banka Slovenije</a>. For residence documentation, contact the responsible upravna enota or the Slovenian Embassy in Skopje.</p>
<p>MSOS can explain the process and share student experience, but the bank makes the final decision about required documents, account eligibility, and package conditions.</p>

<div class="article-body">
<p>Moving to Slovenia for your studies? You do not need to speak perfect Slovene before arriving, but learning the basics early will make university, administrative procedures and everyday life much easier.</p>
<p>For Macedonian speakers, Slovene can initially feel familiar because the languages share many words and grammatical features. However, pronunciation, cases, formal writing and the Slovene dual still require practice. The most effective approach is to combine free self-study, regular speaking and, when possible, a course offered by your university.</p>
<p><em>Course dates, prices and requirements may change. Always confirm the latest information directly with the provider before registering.</em></p>
<h2 id="1-set-a-clear-language-goal">1. Set a clear language goal</h2>
<p>Start by deciding why you need Slovene. Basic everyday communication may require only an A1 or A2 level, while some university programmes, professions or administrative procedures may require B1 or B2.</p>
<p>Always check the official requirements of your study programme. Some faculties require proof of Slovene before enrolment, while others allow international students to improve their language skills during their studies.</p>
<p>Do not pay for an examination only because it provides a certificate. First confirm which level, examination and issuing institution your faculty or the relevant Slovenian authority accepts.</p>
<h2 id="2-begin-with-a-free-online-course">2. Begin with a free online course</h2>
<p>A practical first step is <a href="https://www.slonline.si/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Slovene Learning Online</a>, a free self-paced course developed by the Centre for Slovene as a Second and Foreign Language at the University of Ljubljana.</p>
<p>The platform covers basic vocabulary, grammar, reading and listening. During your first weeks, focus on introductions, numbers, time, directions, accommodation, transport, food and phrases used at faculties and administrative offices.</p>
<p>Short, regular sessions are usually more effective than occasional long lessons. Try studying for around 20 minutes per day and learn complete phrases instead of isolated words. Repeating the recordings aloud will also help you become more comfortable with Slovene pronunciation.</p>
<h2 id="3-check-the-options-at-your-university">3. Check the options at your university</h2>
<p>University language courses are usually among the most affordable options and are often adapted to the needs of international students.</p>
<p>At the University of Ljubljana, <a href="https://www.uni-lj.si/en/study/bachelors-and-single-cycle-masters-study/year-plus" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Leto plus, or Year Plus</a>, is available to eligible international students who are enrolled for the first time in a bachelors or masters programme. It includes two Slovene courses with 60 hours of group work and 3 ECTS each. Under the current conditions, students who complete both courses and obtain at least 30 ECTS during their first year may qualify for a one-year extension of their student status.</p>
<p>Leto plus is not intended for exchange students or students enrolled in programmes that already require B2 Slovene before admission. Recognition of the courses as electives depends on the individual faculty. Students who are not eligible can also check the Centres separate Slovene courses for students.</p>
<p>The University of Maribor offers a free online beginner course through Moodle. The University of Primorska offers free Slovene courses from A1 to B1 for enrolled international students and staff, while the University of Nova Gorica offers courses from A1 to B2 and a Leto PLUS option for eligible first-year international students.</p>
<h2 id="4-learn-slovene-before-moving-to-slovenia">4. Learn Slovene before moving to Slovenia</h2>
<p>Starting while you are still in North Macedonia can make your first months in Slovenia significantly easier.</p>
<p>The Faculty of Philology “Blaže Koneski” at Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje has offered an A1 lifelong-learning programme in Slovene. The published programme includes 48 teaching hours over approximately three months, usually with classes twice per week. Current dates, format and fees should be checked directly with the Faculty.</p>
<p><strong>Institution and contact</strong></p>
<p>Location: Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje, Faculty of Philology “Blaže Koneski”, Bul. “Krste Misirkov” b.b., Skopje Department/contact person: Department of Slavic Studies, Prof. Dr. Lidija Arizankovska General contact provided for the Centre for Slovene as a Second and Foreign Language: <strong>admin@centerslo.net</strong></p>
<p>Private language schools and education centres in North Macedonia and Slovenia also provide online and in-person Slovene courses. These can be useful for students who prefer structured lessons, regular speaking practice or preparation for a specific CEFR level.</p>
<p>Before registering, compare the total number of teaching hours, group size, teacher qualifications, course format and whether the programme prepares students for a recognised level or examination. Prices and schedules vary, so always confirm the latest information directly with the provider.</p>
<h2 id="5-understand-the-difference-between-a-course-and-an-official-examination">5. Understand the difference between a course and an official examination</h2>
<p>Completing a language course is not automatically the same as receiving a publicly recognised certificate.</p>
<p>A Slovene language examination can be taken in North Macedonia at the Department of Slavic Studies of the Faculty of Philology “Blaže Koneski” in Skopje. According to the information provided for this article, the examination is connected with the Centre for Slovene as a Second and Foreign Language. Because arrangements and recognition rules can change, verify this directly with the institutions involved and ask your Slovenian faculty, employer or administrative authority to confirm in writing whether the resulting certificate will be accepted for your specific purpose.</p>
<p>Official Slovene examinations are also available through the Centre for Slovene as a Second and Foreign Language and its recognised providers in Slovenia. The required level and accepted certificate depend on the institution or procedure for which you need proof of language knowledge.</p>
<h2 id="6-follow-a-realistic-learning-plan">6. Follow a realistic learning plan</h2>
<p>Before arriving, complete the introductory lessons on slonline.si and learn vocabulary related to accommodation, transport, studies and administrative procedures.</p>
<p>After arriving, enrol in the Slovene course offered by your university and use the language in everyday situations. Start with greetings, ordering food, asking for directions and speaking with classmates. Even when someone replies in English, continue trying to use simple Slovene phrases.</p>
<p>By the end of your first semester, aim to understand basic announcements, write simple emails and explain practical problems. It is also useful to create a separate vocabulary list for terminology connected to your study programme.</p>
<p>For most Macedonian students, the most practical route is to begin with <strong>slonline.si</strong>, check whether their university offers a free course or Leto plus, use a structured course in North Macedonia when they need additional support, and pay for an examination only after confirming which certificate is accepted.</p>
<p>You do not need to know everything before arriving. A basic foundation, regular practice and the confidence to speak will already make your transition to student life in Slovenia much easier.</p>

Under the current conditions, students who complete both courses and obtain at least 30 ECTS during their first year may qualify for a one-year extension of their student status.</p>
<p>Leto plus is not intended for exchange students or students enrolled in programmes that already require B2 Slovene before admission. Recognition of the courses as electives depends on the individual faculty. Students who are not eligible can also check the Centres separate Slovene courses for students.</p>
<p>The University of Maribor offers a free online beginner course through Moodle. The University of Primorska offers free Slovene courses from A1 to B1 for enrolled international students and staff, while the University of Nova Gorica offers courses from A1 to B2 and a Leto PLUS option for eligible first-year international students.</p>
<h2 id="4-learn-slovene-before-moving-to-slovenia">4. Learn Slovene before moving to Slovenia</h2>
<p>Starting while you are still in North Macedonia can make your first months in Slovenia significantly easier.</p>
<p>The Faculty of Philology “Blaže Koneski” at Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje has offered an A1 lifelong-learning programme in Slovene. The published programme includes 48 teaching hours over approximately three months, usually with classes twice per week. Current dates, format and fees should be checked directly with the Faculty.</p>
<p><strong>Institution and contact</strong></p>
<p>Location: Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje, Faculty of Philology “Blaže Koneski”, Bul. “Krste Misirkov” b.b., Skopje Department/contact person: Department of Slavic Studies, Prof. Dr. Lidija Arizankovska General contact provided for the Centre for Slovene as a Second and Foreign Language: <strong>admin@centerslo.net</strong></p>
<p>Private language schools and education centres in North Macedonia and Slovenia also provide online and in-person Slovene courses. These can be useful for students who prefer structured lessons, regular speaking practice or preparation for a specific CEFR level.</p>
<p>Before registering, compare the total number of teaching hours, group size, teacher qualifications, course format and whether the programme prepares students for a recognised level or examination. Prices and schedules vary, so always confirm the latest information directly with the provider.</p>
<h2 id="5-understand-the-difference-between-a-course-and-an-official-examination">5. Understand the difference between a course and an official examination</h2>
<p>Completing a language course is not automatically the same as receiving a publicly recognised certificate.</p>
<p>A Slovene language examination can be taken in North Macedonia at the Department of Slavic Studies of the Faculty of Philology “Blaže Koneski” in Skopje. According to the information provided for this article, the examination is connected with the Centre for Slovene as a Second and Foreign Language. Because arrangements and recognition rules can change, verify this directly with the institutions involved and ask your Slovenian faculty, employer or administrative authority to confirm in writing whether the resulting certificate will be accepted for your specific purpose.</p>
<p>Official Slovene examinations are also available through the Centre for Slovene as a Second and Foreign Language and its recognised providers in Slovenia. The required level and accepted certificate depend on the institution or procedure for which you need proof of language knowledge.</p>
<h2 id="6-follow-a-realistic-learning-plan">6. Follow a realistic learning plan</h2>
<p>Before arriving, complete the introductory lessons on slonline.si and learn vocabulary related to accommodation, transport, studies and administrative procedures.</p>
<p>After arriving, enrol in the Slovene course offered by your university and use the language in everyday situations. Start with greetings, ordering food, asking for directions and speaking with classmates. Even when someone replies in English, continue trying to use simple Slovene phrases.</p>
<p>By the end of your first semester, aim to understand basic announcements, write simple emails and explain practical problems. It is also useful to create a separate vocabulary list for terminology connected to your study programme.</p>
<p>For most Macedonian students, the most practical route is to begin with <strong>slonline.si</strong>, check whether their university offers a free course or Leto plus, use a structured course in North Macedonia when they need additional support, and pay for an examination only after confirming which certificate is accepted.</p>
<p>You do not need to know everything before arriving. A basic foundation, regular practice and the confidence to speak will already make your transition to student life in Slovenia much easier.</p>

<p><strong>Are you a foreign citizen of Macedonian origin living in Slovenia or another eligible country? The Ministry of Education and Science of North Macedonia is offering 50 scholarships for undergraduate studies at public universities for the 2026/2027 academic year.</strong></p>
<p>The application deadline is <strong>31 August 2026</strong>. Applications must be submitted through the diplomatic or consular mission of North Macedonia in the country where the candidate lives. Late or incomplete applications will not be considered.</p>
<p><em>This guide is based on the official 2026/2027 call. Requirements and deadlines may change in future academic years, so always check the latest information before applying.</em></p>
<h2 id="1-who-can-apply">1. Who can apply?</h2>
<p>The scholarships are intended for foreign citizens of Macedonian origin who live in:</p>
<p><strong>Albania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Slovenia, Kosovo, Türkiye, Romania, Montenegro or Greece.</strong></p>
<p>Candidates must have completed four years of secondary education and apply for a first-cycle undergraduate programme. A total of 50 scholarships are available.</p>
<p>Candidates indicate one preferred faculty and two alternatives in the application. The Ministry reserves the right to make the final placement from the three listed choices.</p>
<h2 id="2-what-does-the-scholarship-cover">2. What does the scholarship cover?</h2>
<p>The scholarship supports students during the regular duration of their undergraduate programme and covers:</p>
<ul>
<li>university tuition or participation fees;</li>
<li>a monthly scholarship;</li>
<li>accommodation and meals in a student residence selected by the Ministry;</li>
<li>primary health insurance;</li>
<li>the costs of issuing and renewing the temporary residence permit.</li>
</ul>
<p>The scholarship does <strong>not</strong> cover programmes taught in English or preparatory Macedonian-language classes. Students must also cover the cost of recognising, or nostrifying, their secondary-school documents.</p>
<h2 id="3-which-documents-are-required">3. Which documents are required?</h2>
<p>Candidates must complete the official application form and submit:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>A CV and motivation letter</strong>, explaining why they want to study in North Macedonia and naming one preferred faculty and two alternatives.</li>
<li><strong>Proof of Macedonian origin</strong>, usually a birth certificate stating Macedonian ethnicity or another appropriate document proving Macedonian origin.</li>
<li><strong>A copy of the certificate for completed four-year secondary education</strong>, accompanied by a translation and an explanation of how the grades correspond to the Macedonian grading system.</li>
</ol>
<p>Only a photocopy of the secondary-school certificate is initially requested, allowing candidates to apply elsewhere at the same time.</p>
<h2 id="4-how-do-you-apply">4. How do you apply?</h2>
<p>The completed application and supporting documents must be submitted to the diplomatic or consular mission of North Macedonia in the country where the candidate lives.</p>
<p>For applicants living in Slovenia, this means contacting the Embassy of North Macedonia in Ljubljana. Candidates should confirm the opening hours, submission method and any additional translation or document-certification requirements before applying.</p>
<p>The final deadline is <strong>31 August 2026</strong>.</p>
<h2 id="5-what-happens-after-selection">5. What happens after selection?</h2>
<p>Selected students must act quickly after the final results are published.</p>
<p>Within <strong>five days</strong>, they must submit a request for recognition of their educational documents to the relevant department of the Ministry of Education and Science. The student covers the related costs.</p>
<p>Selected candidates must arrive in North Macedonia no later than <strong>ten days after publication of the final list</strong>. Candidates who do not arrive within this period will be considered to have withdrawn.</p>
<p>Because these deadlines are strict, applicants should prepare translations, travel plans and the documents required for recognition in advance.</p>
<h2 id="6-how-do-you-keep-the-scholarship">6. How do you keep the scholarship?</h2>
<p>From the second academic year onward, students must submit proof of regular enrolment and show that they passed at least <strong>60% of the examinations planned for the previous academic year</strong>.</p>
<p>These documents must be submitted personally to the Ministry by <strong>30 October</strong> each year. Students who do not meet the academic and administrative requirements may lose the scholarship.</p>
<h2 id="7-what-should-you-consider-before-applying">7. What should you consider before applying?</h2>
<p>This opportunity can significantly reduce the cost of studying in North Macedonia, but candidates should research their preferred study programmes carefully.</p>
<p>Because English-language programmes and preparatory Macedonian classes are not covered, applicants should confirm the language of instruction and make sure they can follow the programme. They should also plan for costs not covered by the scholarship, including document recognition, travel and other personal expenses.</p>
<p>The most important first steps are to research suitable programmes, contact the diplomatic or consular mission in your country of residence and prepare the required documents well before <strong>31 August 2026</strong>.</p>
<p>For students of Macedonian origin living in Slovenia, this programme offers an opportunity to complete undergraduate studies in North Macedonia with support for tuition, accommodation, meals, health insurance and temporary residence.</p>

<p class="article-subtitle">Starting university in another country is easier when you know where to go, who to ask, and what happens during the first days.

<p>Starting university in another country is easier when you know where to go, who to ask, and what happens during the first days. Slovenias main universities organise welcome and orientation activities for new students, but the structure differs. Some events are university-wide, while others are organised separately by faculties or international offices.</p>
<h2 id="1-university-of-ljubljana">1. University of Ljubljana</h2>
<p>The University of Ljubljana will hold its central <strong>Welcome Day for International Students</strong> online on <strong>16 September 2026, from 13:00 to 16:00</strong>. The programme is in English and covers practical topics such as residence permits, health insurance, accommodation, student meals, public transport, Year Plus, tutoring, career services, and extracurricular activities. Registration is mandatory.</p>
<p>Bachelors and masters students should also check the website and email of their own faculty. Many UL faculties organise separate first-year welcomes, programme introductions, tutor meetings, or Erasmus sessions around the end of September and the first day of classes. These faculty events may contain the most important information about timetables, student systems, course selection, and the physical location of classes.</p>
<p><strong>For more information:</strong> Check the central international-student page and the website of your faculty.</p>
<h2 id="2-university-of-maribor">2. University of Maribor</h2>
<p>The University of Maribors central <strong>Orientation Week for Freshmen</strong> will take place from <strong>21 to 25 September 2026</strong>. It includes shared online presentations about university IT services, student life, libraries, career support, international opportunities, and support for foreign degree students.</p>
<p>The university also publishes separate programmes for its faculties. Some faculties organise preparatory courses, campus tours, tutor meetings, and official receptions on different dates, often between 21 September and 1 October. New masters students should therefore check whether their faculty has a separate introduction for their programme.</p>
<p>Erasmus students receive information from the UM International Relations Office and their faculty coordinators. The autumn 2026 Erasmus welcome reception had not yet been published when this article was checked, so incoming exchange students should follow the official Erasmus+ news page and their email.</p>
<p><strong>For more information:</strong> Check the UM Orientation Week programme, your faculty page, and the UM Erasmus+ portal.</p>
<h2 id="3-university-of-primorska">3. University of Primorska</h2>
<p>The University of Primorska offers one of the most complete central welcome programmes. Its online <strong>Preparatory Days</strong> are planned from <strong>14 to 25 September 2026</strong> for admitted and enrolled students. The programme includes practical information about life on the Slovenian coast, the university, residence documents, student benefits, mobility opportunities, and a free introductory Slovenian course.</p>
<p>The main in-person <strong>Orientation Days</strong> will take place from <strong>28 to 30 September 2026</strong>. These days are designed to introduce students to university facilities, faculties, student services, organisations, and other students. The programme is relevant to international degree students and exchange students, although individual faculties may also send separate instructions about enrolment, courses, and first meetings.</p>
<p><strong>For more information:</strong> Register through the UP Welcome portal and check messages from your facultys student or international office.</p>
<h2 id="4-university-of-nova-gorica">4. University of Nova Gorica</h2>
<p>The University of Nova Gorica starts the winter semester on <strong>1 October 2026</strong>, but its central Orientation Day programme for 2026/2027 had not yet been published when this article was checked.</p>
<p>UNG usually combines activities organised by individual schools with a shared university welcome. Because teaching takes place across Nova Gorica, Rožna Dolina, Vipava, Ajdovščina, and other locations, students should confirm exactly where their first meeting will be held. Bachelors, masters, and Erasmus students may receive different instructions from their school, student office, or international office.</p>
<p>Students who are still finalising their study choice can also attend UNGs online international Info Day on <strong>10 September 2026 at 14:00</strong>, but this is an admissions information event rather than the final welcome programme for enrolled students.</p>
<p><strong>For more information:</strong> Follow UNG notices and contact the secretariat of your school if the orientation details have not arrived by email.</p>
<h2 id="before-your-first-day">Before your first day</h2>
<p>Save every welcome email and check whether registration is required. Central events usually explain student life and administrative procedures, while faculty sessions explain your timetable, course registration, student portal, tutors, and programme expectations. Attend both whenever possible.</p>

<p>Erasmus students receive information from the UM International Relations Office and their faculty coordinators. The autumn 2026 Erasmus welcome reception had not yet been published when this article was checked, so incoming exchange students should follow the official Erasmus+ news page and their email.</p>
<p><strong>For more information:</strong> Check the UM Orientation Week programme, your faculty page, and the UM Erasmus+ portal.</p>
<h2 id="3-university-of-primorska">3. University of Primorska</h2>
<p>The University of Primorska offers one of the most complete central welcome programmes. Its online <strong>Preparatory Days</strong> are planned from <strong>14 to 25 September 2026</strong> for admitted and enrolled students. The programme includes practical information about life on the Slovenian coast, the university, residence documents, student benefits, mobility opportunities, and a free introductory Slovenian course.</p>
<p>The main in-person <strong>Orientation Days</strong> will take place from <strong>28 to 30 September 2026</strong>. These days are designed to introduce students to university facilities, faculties, student services, organisations, and other students. The programme is relevant to international degree students and exchange students, although individual faculties may also send separate instructions about enrolment, courses, and first meetings.</p>
<p><strong>For more information:</strong> Register through the UP Welcome portal and check messages from your facultys student or international office.</p>
<h2 id="4-university-of-nova-gorica">4. University of Nova Gorica</h2>
<p>The University of Nova Gorica starts the winter semester on <strong>1 October 2026</strong>, but its central Orientation Day programme for 2026/2027 had not yet been published when this article was checked.</p>
<p>UNG usually combines activities organised by individual schools with a shared university welcome. Because teaching takes place across Nova Gorica, Rožna Dolina, Vipava, Ajdovščina, and other locations, students should confirm exactly where their first meeting will be held. Bachelors, masters, and Erasmus students may receive different instructions from their school, student office, or international office.</p>
<p>Students who are still finalising their study choice can also attend UNGs online international Info Day on <strong>10 September 2026 at 14:00</strong>, but this is an admissions information event rather than the final welcome programme for enrolled students.</p>
<p><strong>For more information:</strong> Follow UNG notices and contact the secretariat of your school if the orientation details have not arrived by email.</p>
<h2 id="before-your-first-day">Before your first day</h2>
<p>Save every welcome email and check whether registration is required. Central events usually explain student life and administrative procedures, while faculty sessions explain your timetable, course registration, student portal, tutors, and programme expectations. Attend both whenever possible.</p>

<h1>Where to search for student accommodation in Slovenia</h1>
<p class="article-subtitle">Finding accommodation is often one of the most stressful parts of moving to Slovenia, especially in Ljubljana and on the coast. The best approach is to begin early, check several sources at the same time, and never send money before confirming who is renting the property and whether you will receive a proper contract.</p>

<p>Finding accommodation is often one of the most stressful parts of moving to Slovenia, especially in Ljubljana and on the coast. The best approach is to begin early, check several sources at the same time, and never send money before confirming who is renting the property and whether you will receive a proper contract.</p>
<h2 id="1-start-with-your-university">1. Start with your university</h2>
<p>Before searching private listings, check the accommodation information published by your university. University pages explain whether international students can apply for a dormitory, which student residences are available, and who to contact for help.</p>
<p>The University of Ljubljana generally directs international degree students toward private accommodation and recommends the free room agency <strong>m2</strong>, as well as its HousingAnywhere rental platform. The University of Maribor offers limited dormitory places and also publishes private and student-residence options. The University of Primorska has specific calls for some international degree students, while exchange students are usually directed toward private housing. The University of Nova Gorica lists housing options across Nova Gorica, Vipava, Ajdovščina, Postojna, and nearby Gorizia, and its student office also helps connect students with accommodation providers.</p>
<p>Official university pages:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.uni-lj.si/en/study/international-students/accommodation-transport-and-cost-of-living" target="_blank" rel="noopener">University of Ljubljana accommodation</a></li>

<li><a href="https://ung.si/sl/studij/studentski-vodnik/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">University of Nova Gorica student guide</a></li>
</ul>
<p>Do not assume that a dormitory place is guaranteed. Eligibility and availability vary, and places can fill quickly.</p>
<h2 id="2-use-established-rental-and-student-housing-websites">2. Use established rental and student-housing websites</h2>
<p>Several websites are useful for finding rooms, roommates, studios, and apartments across Slovenia.</p>
<p><strong>Nepremicnine.net</strong> is one of the largest Slovenian property portals. It is useful for full apartments and rooms, and it allows you to filter by city, size, price, and property type.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.nepremicnine.net/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nepremicnine.net</a></p>
<p><strong>Bolha</strong> has a large property section with private listings from across Slovenia. Read each advertisement carefully because both agencies and private landlords publish there.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.bolha.com/nepremicnine" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bolha real estate</a></p>
<p><strong>Mojcimer</strong> focuses on student rooms, shared apartments, and finding roommates. It is especially useful when you are open to sharing accommodation.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.mojcimer.si/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mojcimer</a></p>
<p><strong>m2</strong> is a free room-rental service recommended by the University of Ljubljana. It can help students search for private accommodation and understand common rental questions.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.mkvadrat.si/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">m2 room agency</a></p>
<p><strong>Kamrica</strong> is particularly useful for accommodation in Maribor and includes rooms, beds, and student apartments.</p>
<p><a href="https://kamrica.dostop.si/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kamrica</a></p>
<p><strong>HousingAnywhere</strong> is an international rental platform often used by incoming and exchange students. It can be useful for arranging accommodation before arrival, but always check platform fees, cancellation rules, and what is included in the price.</p>
<p><a href="https://housinganywhere.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">HousingAnywhere</a></p>
<h2 id="3-facebook-groups-and-community-channels">3. Facebook groups and community channels</h2>
<p>Facebook groups and Marketplace can help you find new listings quickly, especially from students looking for roommates or leaving their room before the end of a contract.</p>
<p>Useful search terms include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Stanovanja Ljubljana</li>
<li>Sobe Ljubljana</li>
<li>Stanovanja Maribor</li>
<li>Študentske sobe Maribor</li>
<li>Oddaja in najem stanovanj Koper</li>
<li>Stanovanja Obala</li>
<li>Oddaja in najem stanovanj Nova Gorica</li>
<li>Apartments and rooms for rent in Ljubljana</li>
<li>Erasmus accommodation Ljubljana, Maribor, or Koper</li>
</ul>
<p>You can also check Facebook Marketplace and university or Erasmus student groups.</p>
<p>Treat social-media listings with extra caution. The University of Primorska specifically warns that Facebook accommodation groups may not always be reliable. A profile, photograph, or friendly conversation does not prove that the person owns the property or has the right to rent it.</p>
<p>Ask local student organisations, ESN, classmates, or MSOS members whether they recognise the landlord, address, or listing before paying anything.</p>
<h2 id="4-what-to-check-before-paying-or-signing">4. What to check before paying or signing</h2>
<p>A legitimate offer should clearly explain the monthly rent, deposit, utilities, duration of the rental, notice period, and what furniture or equipment is included. Ask whether electricity, heating, water, internet, building costs, and cleaning are included or paid separately.</p>
<p>Before transferring money, verify the exact address and request a live viewing, video call, or visit by someone you trust. Confirm the landlords identity and ask for a written rental contract. The contract should identify the landlord and tenant, describe the room or apartment, state the rent and deposit, list additional costs, define the rental period, and explain the termination conditions.</p>
<p>Be careful when:</p>
<ul>
<li>the price is much lower than similar listings</li>
<li>the landlord refuses a viewing or video call</li>
<li>you are pressured to pay immediately</li>
<li>payment is requested through an unusual transfer method</li>
<li>the landlord refuses to provide a contract</li>
<li>the person says they are abroad and cannot prove ownership</li>
<li>the photographs or description appear copied from another listing</li>
<li>the landlord refuses temporary-address registration</li>
</ul>
<p>Do not send a passport scan to an unknown person before verifying the offer. When a copy is genuinely needed, ask why and how it will be stored.</p>
<h2 id="5-why-the-contract-and-address-matter-for-residence-procedures">5. Why the contract and address matter for residence procedures</h2>
<p>Accommodation is not only about having a place to sleep. Your address may also be needed for immigration and administrative procedures.</p>
<p>Depending on your entry and application route, an embassy or authority may request proof of accommodation. After receiving a temporary residence permit, foreigners must register their temporary address in Slovenia within the applicable deadline. Official guidance currently states that the temporary residence should generally be registered within eight days after the residence permit is delivered.</p>
<p>Before signing, ask the landlord directly:</p>
<aside class="guide-box guide-box--warning">
<p>Will you provide a rental contract or owners statement and allow me to register my temporary residence at this address?</p>
</aside>
<p>Avoid accommodation where the landlord refuses <strong>prijava začasnega prebivališča</strong>. Even if the room looks good, this can create serious problems with residence registration, official mail, banking, tax procedures, and other student administration.</p>
<p>Keep copies of the signed rental contract, proof of deposit and rent payments, any landlord statement, the temporary-address registration confirmation, photographs of the room at move-in, and an inventory of furniture and existing damage.</p>
<h2 id="6-need-more-help">6. Need more help?</h2>
<p>For detailed information about dormitory eligibility, private rental contracts, temporary-address registration, city differences, and accommodation scams, read the MSOS Student Welcome Guide.</p>
<p>Read more on the <a href="../../../en/student-welcome-guide/student-accommodation/">accommodation page of the Student Welcome Guide</a>.</p>
<p>MSOS can share student experience and help you understand where to look, but the university, landlord, upravna enota, or other responsible institution must confirm your individual administrative requirements.</p>

<p>On April 5, 2025, MSOS Maribor organized the first humanitarian sports tournament in the history of our organization. The idea came naturally. After the tragic events in Kočani, many of us felt powerless, but we also knew we had to do something. As students, maybe we could not solve everything, but we could do what we do best: bring people together. Sports became the perfect way to channel our emotions and energy into solidarity.</p>

<h2 id="section-1">A day full of energy</h2>
<p>The event took place at the Leon Štukelj Sports Hall, which came alive with cheering, laughter, and the sound of basketballs and futsal balls bouncing across the courts. From the very beginning, you could feel that this was not just about competition. It was about community.</p>

<figcaption>Teams lined up and ready for the start of the tournament.</figcaption>

<p>We welcomed 12 basketball teams and 4 futsal teams, made up not only of Macedonian students but also of friends from Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Spain. That mix of cultures and languages created a special vibe, proof that solidarity does not stop at national borders. Teams supported each other, rivalries ended in handshakes, and every goal or basket felt like a small victory for the cause we were all there for.</p>

<h2 id="section-2">More than just a tournament</h2>
<p>The matches lasted over six hours, and the atmosphere never slowed down. Friends came to support their teams, music kept the hall lively, and there was always someone explaining the background to newcomers: "We are doing this for Kočani." That constant reminder turned every point scored into something bigger than sports.</p>
<p>At the end of the tournament, symbolic prizes were awarded to the winners. They were not just trophies. They were a way to honor everyone who gave their time and energy to be part of the event.</p>

<h2 id="section-3">The humanitarian impact</h2>
<p>The most important result was not on the scoreboard but in the donations box. Together, we raised €1.010, which was split between two Macedonian families whose children were undergoing treatment in Slovenia. It was not just money. It was a message that they were not alone, that the student community stood with them during the hardest of times.</p>

<h2 id="section-4">Why it mattered</h2>
<p>For MSOS, this tournament was more than a one-day event. It showed that our community has the strength to respond to challenges with compassion and action. We proved that student life is not only about lectures and exams, or even about parties and fun. It can also be about solidarity, empathy, and humanity.</p>
<p>And maybe most importantly, this was just the beginning. With "Playing with Heart, Together for Kočani", we did not only create a successful humanitarian action. We set the foundation for a tradition that will continue to remind us that together, we can make a difference.</p>

<p>The tournament would not have been possible without the support of our partners and community. We are grateful to the University of Maribor for providing the entire Leon Štukelj Sports Hall free of charge, to Macedonia Trade for taking care of the refreshments and gifts for the winning teams, and to Radenska for supplying water for all participants.</p>

<p>A huge thank you also goes to our MSOS Maribor team and volunteers, who worked tirelessly to make this event a reality. And of course, to all the students who showed up not only as players but also as fans, supporters, and friends. Their cheering, laughter, and energy filled the hall and transformed the tournament into more than a competition. It became a moment of unity, solidarity, and joy that none of us will forget.</p>

<p>The news of Frosinas tragic passing on January 29, 2025, deeply shook students across Slovenia. Even though we are far from home, the pain was shared, and the need to come together was clear. Out of this feeling grew the initiative to organize a peaceful public gathering in Ljubljana, where young people could unite, light candles, lay flowers, and dedicate a moment of silence in her memory.</p>

<h2 id="section-1">A message of unity</h2>
<p>This gathering was not about politics or criticism. It was about togetherness, humanity, and shared responsibility. As students abroad, we wanted to show that we care, that we remember, and that we hope for a better tomorrow where such injustices will no longer happen.</p>
<p>By standing side by side in moments like these, we learn that our strength lies not only in our studies and ambitions but also in our ability to support one another when it matters most.</p>

<p>Frosinas story reminded us of the fragility of life and the importance of solidarity. We are grateful to all who came, who lit a candle, or who simply stood with us in silence.</p>
<p>As an organization, MSOS will always strive to provide a space where students can come together, in joy, in struggle, and in remembrance, to shape a community that carries both hope and responsibility for the future.</p>
<p>Rest in peace, Frosina. 🕊️🙏🏻</p>

<p>On March 16, 2025, a fire broke out in the Pulse nightclub in Kochani, North Macedonia, taking the lives of 60 people and leaving deep scars across the country. For Macedonian students abroad, the news was devastating. Though far from home, the feeling of loss was shared, and the need to stand together was undeniable.</p>
<p>The MSOS community decided to create a moment of solidarity in Slovenia, not as an act of protest or politics, but as a way to express humanity, grief, and unity in the face of tragedy.</p>

<h2 id="section-1">The gathering in Ljubljana</h2>
<p>On March 21, the square in Ljubljana was filled with silence and candlelight. What began as an expectation of around 200 attendees grew into a gathering of more than 600 people of all ages. The program opened with a short address by the MSOS president, followed by a 16-minute silence to honor the victims, one minute for each March day leading up to the tragedy.</p>
<p>Students, families, and members of the wider community laid flowers and lit candles, creating a sea of light and color that remained untouched for weeks after, as no one dared to disturb the memorial. The atmosphere was solemn, respectful, and deeply emotional.</p>

<h2 id="section-2">A message beyond borders</h2>
<p>This gathering was a reminder that even away from home, students carry their roots, their compassion, and their voice for justice. It was not a promotional act but a human one, a sign that the new generation wants to build a future where solidarity and care define who we are.</p>
<p>The event also received coverage in Slovenia, with the MSOS president giving a short interview for RTV Slovenia, reflecting on the importance of standing united in difficult times.</p>

<p>The tragedy in Kochani showed us how fragile life is, but also how strong we can be when we come together. In Ljubljana, the student community stood side by side, sending love and respect back home.</p>
<p>May the victims rest in peace.</p>

<div class="article-body">
<p>On Saturday morning, 24 students gathered outside the School of Economics and Business in Ljubljana.</p>
<p>Some already knew one another. Others were meeting for the first time. They came from Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovenia, Macedonia, Croatia, and Montenegro, but they had arrived at the same meeting point for the same reason: to begin the morning together.</p>
<p>From the faculty, the group headed toward the first checkpoint in Bežigrad and joined the 2025 Path Around the Wire. The walk itself was simple. The collaboration behind it was new.</p>
<h2 id="organised-together">Organised together by</h2>
<p>This was the first event organised jointly by four student associations: the Macedonian Student Organisation in Slovenia (MSOS), STUDI (the Serbian student association in Slovenia), DBHSS (the Bosnian and Herzegovinian student association in Slovenia), and DHSS (the Croatian student association in Slovenia).</p>
<h2 id="idea">An idea shared between four associations</h2>
<p>The event began one month earlier through an informal conversation between the presidents of four student associations. MSOS joined STUDI, DBHSS, and DHSS with one practical idea: create an activity where students from their communities could meet naturally, without a formal programme or a stage between them.</p>
<p>The Path Around the Wire offered the right setting. It was public, active, and open to everyone. Instead of inviting students into a closed venue, the associations could bring them together outside and begin with something as direct as walking in the same direction.</p>
<p>The organising team met online on 17 April to divide the work. Kristijan Popovski from MSOS prepared the shared registration form. Lena Bašić from STUDI and Klara David from DHSS worked on the event graphic. Eldar Talić from DBHSS contacted the Student Organisation of the University of Ljubljana regarding possible support with water. The event was then published on 5 May as a joint Instagram collaboration across the profiles of all four associations.</p>
<h2 id="six-countries">Six countries at one meeting point</h2>
<p>The registration list showed the range of the group before the event even began. Ten participants registered from Serbia, six from Bosnia and Herzegovina, four from Slovenia, two from Macedonia, one from Croatia, and one from Montenegro.</p>
<p>The result was not a gathering built around one national community. It was a meeting between several student communities that already shared the same city, universities, and many of the same experiences of living abroad. That made the first minutes outside the faculty important. People arrived, found the group, spoke with someone new, and prepared to continue together.</p>
<h2 id="toward-bezigrad">From the faculty toward Bežigrad</h2>
<p>At 08:45, the group left the meeting point and headed toward the Path Around the Wire checkpoint beside AMZS in Bežigrad. The official 2025 recreational route followed a 33 kilometre circuit around Ljubljana and allowed participants to begin at several checkpoints. For this MSOS collaboration, the confirmed shared activity was the gathering outside the faculty and the group movement toward the Bežigrad starting point.</p>
<p>This distinction matters because the event was not organised as a competition or a test of distance. Its purpose was to create a first shared experience between the associations and give their members an easy way to meet. Walking helped. Conversations could begin without being forced. Smaller groups formed and changed along the route. Students who arrived through one organisation could leave knowing people from three others.</p>
<h2 id="next-step">A first activity with a clear next step</h2>
<p>The organisers had set one main goal: connect the student associations and bring their members together through a shared event. The group achieved that with 24 participants, six represented countries, and no direct expenditure by MSOS.</p>
<p>More importantly, the four associations completed their first joint activity and agreed that it should not remain the last one. The event showed that cooperation did not always need a large stage, a complex programme, or a major budget. It needed a clear meeting point, divided responsibilities, communication between the teams, and an activity that gave people room to connect. On this occasion, that activity was a walk through Ljubljana. The path began outside one faculty, but the more important result was the new connection between four student communities.</p>

<h1>Kafanska večer</h1>
<p class="article-subtitle">Around 200 Serbian and Macedonian students filled AULA café for an evening of live music, shared tables, and a format MSOS had wanted to explore.</p>
</header>
<figure class="article-main-image">

</figure>
<div class="article-body">
<p>By the time the room filled, there was little distance left between the tables and the dance floor.</p>
<p>Under the red lights of AULA café, students stood between chairs, raised their hands and phones, and sang toward the musicians. Some had arrived with a reserved table and a full group of friends. Others moved between tables as the evening continued. Around 200 Serbian and Macedonian students attended Kafanska večer on 15 May 2025.</p>
<p>For MSOS, the evening was both a social event and a first opportunity to understand how this type of gathering could work within its own community.</p>
<figure class="article-inline-image">

<figcaption>as the evening developed, students moved beyond their reserved tables and became part of the shared atmosphere.</figcaption>
</figure>
<h2 id="organised-with">Organised with</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>STUDI:</strong> initiated the collaboration and led the main event organisation.</li>
<li><strong>SKC Pupin (Serbian Cultural Centre and Mihajlo Pupin Library):</strong> organising partner.</li>
<li><strong>Party Maniacs:</strong> event production and operational organisation.</li>
<li><strong>MSOS:</strong> community and promotional partner.</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="invitation">An invitation from STUDI</h2>
<p>The collaboration began when Angelina Stojković from STUDI contacted MSOS with a proposal to join an event that their organisation already had experience producing.</p>
<p>The roles were clear from the beginning. STUDI, SKC Pupin, and Party Maniacs handled the main organisation, including the venue, band, table arrangements, ticket collection, finances, and operational details. MSOS joined as a community and promotional partner, sharing the event through its social channels and encouraging Macedonian students to attend.</p>
<p>The format made sense for two reasons. MSOS wanted to organise more activities together with regional student associations. The team had also discussed creating a Macedonian kafana evening, but had not yet tested the level of interest or the practical demands behind such an event. Joining an existing format offered a useful first step.</p>
<h2 id="two-communities">A room shaped by two student communities</h2>
<p>The audience was mainly Serbian, with a visible Macedonian group participating throughout the evening. An internal estimate counted approximately 25 tables, around 20 occupied mainly by Serbian students and 5 mainly by Macedonian students.</p>
<p>Those numbers reflected the different sizes of the communities involved, but they also showed that Macedonian students were interested in the format. They did not attend only as observers. They joined the shared tables, songs, and movement across the room. The photographs from the evening capture this better than a formal attendance list could: the room is crowded, people are standing, hands are raised, and several students are recording the atmosphere on their phones.</p>
<h2 id="tables">When the tables stopped being boundaries</h2>
<p>The defining part of the evening came once people no longer remained only with the groups they had arrived with. The tables had organised the room at the beginning. Live music slowly changed that structure.</p>
<p>Students stood up, moved closer to the performers, sang together, and crossed from one part of the venue to another. The evening created the type of atmosphere that had originally made MSOS interested in the idea: familiar music, an informal setting, and enough time for people to meet without a fixed programme directing every interaction. This was not a large MSOS production. The organisation's role was limited and transparent, yet the event still offered something useful to the community and to the team behind it. It showed that there was an audience for this type of night.</p>

<figcaption>live music gradually turned the space between the tables into the centre of the event.</figcaption>
</figure>
<h2 id="lessons">What MSOS learned from the collaboration</h2>
<p>A successful public atmosphere does not mean that every part of the organising process is simple. The report prepared after the event highlighted several lessons for future collaborations. MSOS needs to be involved earlier and more directly when an event includes ticketing, contracts, financial planning, venue arrangements, band selection, and legal responsibilities.</p>
<p>Clear responsibilities are important, but shared oversight is equally important. For future events of this kind, the organisation wants to understand the complete process rather than participate only through promotion. That includes knowing how tickets are managed, how agreements are made, how budgets are planned, and how decisions are shared between partners. These are not details that appear in the photographs, but they are part of building stronger events.</p>
<h2 id="future">A first answer to a future idea</h2>
<p>Kafanska večer confirmed that students were interested in an evening built around live regional music and a relaxed social atmosphere. It also gave MSOS a clearer picture of what a future Macedonian kafana evening would require: stronger involvement from the beginning, fewer unclear responsibilities, transparent planning, and a format shaped directly around the Macedonian student community.</p>
<p>The night in AULA was therefore not only a well attended gathering. It was a practical first answer to an idea the organisation had already been discussing. The interest was there. The next step would be to build the format with greater ownership and a clearer MSOS identity.</p>

<p>On October 8, 2022, in the heart of the Student Campus in Ljubljana, the first Macedonian Student Night in Slovenia took place. Under the motto #FeelsLikeHome, more than 500 young people enjoyed Macedonian music, delicious traditional food, and an atmosphere that felt like home. This event was not just a party, it was the beginning of a new story, which would later grow into the Macedonian Student Organization in Slovenia (MSOS).</p>
<h2 id="idea-to-movement">How an idea for socializing became the start of a movement</h2>
<p>It all began with a simple wish, to gather, get to know each other, and feel Macedonia, even though we were far from it. Kristijan Popovski, then a student at the School of Economics and Business in Ljubljana, shared his idea with a few colleagues, and the response was incredible. In less than two weeks, over 40 students joined the organizing team. Everyone contributed their enthusiasm and time, and the shared spirit and desire to connect turned this spontaneous initiative into an event we would remember for a long time.</p>

<p>From that moment on, we spent every free moment in the offices of the student organization <strong>Povezani</strong>, which gave us great support in organizing. Days and nights were spent planning, holding meetings, and writing social media posts, all with the goal of creating an event that we initially thought would attract, if we were lucky, about 100 visitors.</p>
<p>A week before the event, we posted interesting facts about Macedonia every day, its national treasures, music, and culture. Slowly but surely, we built the atmosphere and excitement, not only among Macedonian students but also among many others who wanted to feel our energy.</p>

<h2 id="taste-of-macedonia">The taste and smell of Macedonia in the heart of Ljubljana</h2>
<p>The party started at 8:00 PM and was designed in two parts. The first part was a real gastronomic and cultural journey through Macedonia. Students could try bread with ajvar and white cheese, Macedonian wine, tasty snacks, and traditional drinks. The tables were also filled with other authentic products that reminded everyone of home. All these flavors and aromas were made possible thanks to the support of the Macedonian products store <strong>“Makedonija Trade,”</strong> which selflessly contributed to making this part of the evening truly enjoyable.</p>

<p>In addition to the food, visitors could explore interesting facts about the country, photos of famous Macedonian figures and cultural landmarks, and see traditional costumes and a <strong>gaida</strong> up close. The atmosphere was warm and full of curiosity, like a small exhibition within a large student party.</p>

<p>The evening was enriched by the presence of important guests from the Macedonian community in Slovenia. <strong>The President of the Union of Macedonian Cultural Associations in Slovenia, Mr. Blagoja Nasteski</strong>, joined the event, confirming the importance of such initiatives for preserving the Macedonian spirit and tradition in the diaspora.</p>

<p>We were especially honored to <strong>welcome the Ambassador of North Macedonia to Slovenia, Mrs. Suzana Zelenkovska</strong>, who gave warm words of encouragement and support to the youth. Her presence and interest in the event were an additional motivation to continue our mission of connecting and promoting the Macedonian student community.</p>
<p>The party had great energy spreading everywhere, at one point there was a small but controlled chaos. Even though the event ended slightly earlier than planned, the students kept singing together for another hour while we were cleaning up the place. Truly, a night to remember!</p>

<h2 id="a-beginning">A beginning to remember</h2>
<p>That night wasn't just another student party, it was the moment we realized we had started something bigger. Instead of the expected 100 guests, about <strong>500 students</strong> came to the club, and the energy was incredible. New friendships were made, songs were sung from the heart, and Macedonian culture and tradition took center stage for the entire evening.</p>
<p>This night laid the foundation for the Macedonian Student Organization in Slovenia and showed us that with enthusiasm, unity, and a bit of courage, it's possible to create something that brings people together and gives them a sense of home, even when they are far away from it.</p>

<p>What does the first step towards student life in Slovenia look like? We tried to answer this question through the event "Meet Student Slovenia," which we organized on September 18, 2023, at the NLB Gallery in Skopje. The atmosphere was full of excitement, more than 100 future students and their families came with the same feeling: a desire to discover what awaits them where they will start their new chapter.</p>
<h2 id="student-life">What lies behind student life in Slovenia?</h2>
<p>Instead of dry information, students had the opportunity to hear real stories, from those who are already walking the same path. Students from Ljubljana, Maribor, and Koper talked about their challenges, first impressions, funny situations, and moments when community support was crucial. And the audience? They absorbed everything with great attention, because exactly those questions that are never written in brochures, here they received honest answers.</p>

</figure>
<h2 id="inspiring-voices">Voices that inspire</h2>
<p>Our members Kiara Lazić, Angel Naumov, Klimentina Čapovska, and Igor Arsov appeared on stage, each with their own story, their own faculty, their own city. Together with moderator Leon Šumanski and host Vasil Hanџiski, they transformed the panel into a real conversation that felt more like a friendly get-together than a formal discussion. They talked about exams, new friendships, life in student dorms, and how important it is not to give up even when things seem hardest.</p>

<h2 id="behind-the-scenes">Behind the scenes, our supporters</h2>
<p>The event would not have been possible without the support of the Embassy of the Republic of Slovenia in North Macedonia, NLB Bank Skopje, Capital Financial Center, Dijag, and Radio MOF. But the real strength came from MSOS members in preparing the event and the students with their questions, their energy, and their curiosity.</p>
<p>At the event, we received significant support and assistance from Melita Sekulovska in organizing the space and Aleksandar Popovski in designing the organization's website. We sincerely thanked them for their dedicated work, as well as the event coordinator, Lea Janačkovska, who made this event extraordinary.</p>

<p>With the help of Dijag doo company, we prepared two plaques for the Embassy and NLB Bank as a sign of gratitude for all the help and support they provided.</p>

<h2 id="why-special">Why was it special?</h2>
<p>Because this event was not just another presentation. It was a hand extended to future students, a message that they are not alone, that a community is already waiting for them. Some left with new friends, others with concrete answers to questions that had bothered them for months. But everyone left with the same feeling: that Slovenia is no longer an unknown place, but a new home where they will be part of something bigger.</p>

<p>“The event was a 'game changer' for me because I finally got information that really helped me get to know student Slovenia instead of just another pile of brochures. The panel was great, relaxed, with talks about the best places to go out, days stuck in the library, life in student dorms, and the classic 'I overslept before the exam' story... P.S. And the networking, the networking was top, no awkward silence.”</p>

<h2 id="practical-advice">Practical advice first-hand</h2>
<p>A special moment of the event was the address by the Consul of the Embassy of the Republic of Slovenia in North Macedonia, Mr. Martin Glazar. He briefly presented the most important steps of the process for obtaining a temporary residence permit, one of the biggest concerns and challenges for all foreign students in Slovenia. In this way, future students gained a clearer picture of what awaits them and how to more easily deal with administrative procedures.</p>

<h2 id="livestream">For those who were not physically present with us</h2>
<p>Not everyone managed to be present in the hall, but that's why we made sure no one was left without this experience. We broadcast the event live through our Facebook page, and the recording is still available. If you want to experience the atmosphere and hear the stories first-hand, you can watch the entire event at this link here.</p>

<h2 id="see-you">See you in Slovenia!</h2>
<p>With "Meet Student Slovenia 2023," we managed to extend a hand to new students and show them that an exciting journey full of new friendships, challenges, and successes awaits them. We sincerely hope that next time we will meet right there, in the lecture halls, student dorms, and on the streets of Ljubljana, Maribor, and Koper.</p>
<p>This event would not have been possible without the support of our partners and friends, to whom we extend our immense gratitude:</p>

<li>NLB Bank Skopje (main sponsor and patron)</li>

</ol>
<p>Thanks to everyone who was part of this event, and to future students, we say: your story in Slovenia is just beginning, and we are here to be a part of it.</p>

<p>What does the first step towards student life in Slovenia look like? We tried to answer this question through the event "Meet Student Slovenia," which we organized on September 18, 2023, at the NLB Gallery in Skopje. The atmosphere was full of excitement, more than 100 future students and their families came with the same feeling: a desire to discover what awaits them where they will start their new chapter.</p>
<h2 id="student-life">What lies behind student life in Slovenia?</h2>
<p>Instead of dry information, students had the opportunity to hear real stories, from those who are already walking the same path. Students from Ljubljana, Maribor, and Koper talked about their challenges, first impressions, funny situations, and moments when community support was crucial. And the audience? They absorbed everything with great attention, because exactly those questions that are never written in brochures, here they received honest answers.</p>

<h2 id="inspiring-voices">Voices that inspire</h2>
<p>Our members Kiara Lazić, Angel Naumov, Klimentina Čapovska, and Igor Arsov appeared on stage, each with their own story, their own faculty, their own city. Together with moderator Leon Šumanski and host Vasil Hanџiski, they transformed the panel into a real conversation that felt more like a friendly get-together than a formal discussion. They talked about exams, new friendships, life in student dorms, and how important it is not to give up even when things seem hardest.</p>

<h2 id="behind-the-scenes">Behind the scenes, our supporters</h2>
<p>The event would not have been possible without the support of the Embassy of the Republic of Slovenia in North Macedonia, NLB Bank Skopje, Capital Financial Center, Dijag, and Radio MOF. But the real strength came from MSOS members in preparing the event and the students with their questions, their energy, and their curiosity.</p>
<p>At the event, we received significant support and assistance from Melita Sekulovska in organizing the space and Aleksandar Popovski in designing the organization's website. We sincerely thanked them for their dedicated work, as well as the event coordinator, Lea Janačkovska, who made this event extraordinary.</p>

<h2 id="why-special">Why was it special?</h2>
<p>Because this event was not just another presentation. It was a hand extended to future students, a message that they are not alone, that a community is already waiting for them. Some left with new friends, others with concrete answers to questions that had bothered them for months. But everyone left with the same feeling: that Slovenia is no longer an unknown place, but a new home where they will be part of something bigger.</p>

<p>“The event was a 'game changer' for me because I finally got information that really helped me get to know student Slovenia instead of just another pile of brochures. The panel was great, relaxed, with talks about the best places to go out, days stuck in the library, life in student dorms, and the classic 'I overslept before the exam' story... P.S. And the networking, the networking was top, no awkward silence.”</p>

<h2 id="practical-advice">Practical advice first-hand</h2>
<p>A special moment of the event was the address by the Consul of the Embassy of the Republic of Slovenia in North Macedonia, Mr. Martin Glazar. He briefly presented the most important steps of the process for obtaining a temporary residence permit, one of the biggest concerns and challenges for all foreign students in Slovenia. In this way, future students gained a clearer picture of what awaits them and how to more easily deal with administrative procedures.</p>

<p>Not everyone managed to be present in the hall, but that's why we made sure no one was left without this experience.

<h2 id="see-you">See you in Slovenia!</h2>
<p>With "Meet Student Slovenia 2023," we managed to extend a hand to new students and show them that an exciting journey full of new friendships, challenges, and successes awaits them. We sincerely hope that next time we will meet right there, in the lecture halls, student dorms, and on the streets of Ljubljana, Maribor, and Koper.</p>
<p>This event would not have been possible without the support of our partners and friends, to whom we extend our immense gratitude:</p>

<p>Following the success in 2023, "Meet Student Slovenia" returned this year with even greater energy. On September 16, 2024, at the NLB Gallery in Skopje, we held the second edition of the event, which has become a true tradition. The interest was enormous, we had twice as many applications as the capacity of the venue. The atmosphere was full of excitement, questions, and a desire for new beginnings.</p>
<h2 id="coffee-chat">"Coffee chat" with future colleagues, but on a panel discussion</h2>
<p>Our goal was never to create "dry presentations." Instead, we organized a panel, a real conversation with four students who are already living the Slovenian student life. Marija Koštrevska from the University of Ljubljana, Vasil Hanџiski from the University of Maribor, Sofija Matovska from the University of Nova Gorica, and Igor Arsov from the University of Primorska spoke about everything: the first days away from home, how to find accommodation, what student "boni" (subsidized meals) are, and what it's like to build a new circle of friends. Everyone shared something of their own, and the audience asked questions and participated, just like a coffee chat.</p>

<h2 id="what-remained">What remained behind us</h2>
<p>This evening was not just an exchange of information. It was a moment when future students understood that they are not alone in their worries and fears. Every question received an answer from experience, every dilemma was resolved with a real-life example. Many left encouraged, with new friends, and with the feeling that Slovenia is no longer so distant and unknown.</p>

<p>"Meet Student Slovenia" is not just an event. It is a place where future students take their first step, with support, with first-hand advice, and with the feeling that they are not alone. And this year we managed to create that feeling, and that is the greatest victory.</p>
<p>See you again next year!</p>
<p>P.S. Every year after a successfully organized event, the MSOS team traditionally heads to the nearest tavern, for an evening full of socializing, singing, and emotions! 😊 That's why it's worth being part of our team! Join us.</p>

<p>Following the success in 2023, "Meet Student Slovenia" returned this year with even greater energy. On September 16, 2024, at the NLB Gallery in Skopje, we held the second edition of the event, which has become a true tradition. The interest was enormous, we had twice as many applications as the capacity of the venue. The atmosphere was full of excitement, questions, and a desire for new beginnings.</p>
<h2 id="coffee-chat">"Coffee chat" with future colleagues, but on a panel discussion</h2>
<p>Our goal was never to create "dry presentations." Instead, we organized a panel, a real conversation with four students who are already living the Slovenian student life. Marija Koštrevska from the University of Ljubljana, Vasil Hanџiski from the University of Maribor, Sofija Matovska from the University of Nova Gorica, and Igor Arsov from the University of Primorska spoke about everything: the first days away from home, how to find accommodation, what student "boni" (subsidized meals) are, and what it's like to build a new circle of friends. Everyone shared something of their own, and the audience asked questions and participated, just like a coffee chat.</p>

<h2 id="what-remained">What remained behind us</h2>
<p>This evening was not just an exchange of information. It was a moment when future students understood that they are not alone in their worries and fears. Every question received an answer from experience, every dilemma was resolved with a real-life example. Many left encouraged, with new friends, and with the feeling that Slovenia is no longer so distant and unknown.</p>

<h2 id="the-support">The support that made a difference</h2>
<p>"Meet Student Slovenia 2024" would not have looked this way without the help of our partners and friends. We extend great gratitude to the Embassy of the Republic of Slovenia in North Macedonia, NLB Bank Skopje as the patron and main sponsor of the entire event, and Capital Financial Center, who with their support made it possible for the event to be realized at this high level.</p>

<p>Special thanks go to the MSOS team, who worked tirelessly for weeks on preparations, from the initial idea to the last detail of the evening. Above all, great recognition goes to Lea Janačkovska, the event coordinator, who with her energy, patience, and organizational skills ensured that every piece fell into place.</p>
<p>This time, the memories of the evening are thanks to Hristina Trakovska, who was the photographer and made sure all those moments were captured so we can relive them again through photographs.</p>

<h2 id="why-special">Why was it special?</h2>
<p>Because this event was not just another presentation. It was a hand extended to future students, a message that they are not alone, that a community is already waiting for them. Some left with new friends, others with concrete answers to questions that had bothered them for months. But everyone left with the same feeling: that Slovenia is no longer an unknown place, but a new home where they will be part of something bigger.</p>

<h2 id="livestream">For those not physically present with us</h2>
<p>We know that not everyone managed to attend the NLB Gallery, but we therefore provided a high-quality livestream. The event was broadcast live and is now available for re-watching. If you want to feel the atmosphere and hear the honest stories from the panel, you can watch the entire event here 👇</p>

<h2 id="see-you">See you in Slovenia!</h2>
<p>"Meet Student Slovenia" is not just an event. It is a place where future students take their first step, with support, with first-hand advice, and with the feeling that they are not alone. And this year we managed to create that feeling, and that is the greatest victory.</p>
<p>See you again next year!</p>
<p>P.S. Every year after a successfully organized event, the MSOS team traditionally heads to the nearest tavern, for an evening full of socializing, singing, and emotions! 😊 That's why it's worth being part of our team! Join us.</p>

<div class="article-body">
<p>By nine in the morning, the space in front of the Central Technical Library (CTK) looked a little different from the usual exam-period routine. Instead of students simply heading inside with laptops, notes, and coffee already in hand, there was hot Nescafe waiting outside, together with fruit, chocolates, snacks, other drinks, stickers, and a few small activities.</p>
<p>Some students stopped for only a few minutes before going back to their books. Others stayed longer, talked with friends, met new people, and took a short break before returning to studying.</p>
<p>That was exactly the point of the fourth edition of Morning Coffee in Front of CTK.</p>
<h2 id="exam-morning">A different kind of exam morning</h2>
<p>The event was not designed around a formal programme or a long schedule. It was created as a simple pause during one of the most intense parts of the academic year, giving students a reason to step away from studying for a moment, eat something, have a warm drink, talk, laugh, and recharge.</p>
<figure class="article-inline-image">

</figure>
<h2 id="why-ctk">Why we keep coming back to CTK</h2>
<p>Morning Coffee began from a very simple observation. During exam season, students spend long hours in libraries and study spaces, often moving from one deadline or exam to the next. CTK becomes one of the places most closely connected with that routine.</p>
<p>Instead of asking students to attend another organised programme, MSOS decided to meet them where they already were.</p>
<p>The idea was to create something easy and informal. Students did not need to register, prepare, or stay for a fixed amount of time. They could stop for a coffee, grab some fruit or chocolate, join one of the small activities, talk for a while, or simply say hello before continuing with their day.</p>
<p>That simplicity is what has allowed the event to grow into a small MSOS tradition.</p>
<figure class="article-inline-image">

<figcaption>some students came for a quick coffee. Others stayed for the conversation.</figcaption>
</figure>
<h2 id="two-hours">Two hours without an agenda</h2>
<p>From 09:00 until 11:00, students could take whatever kind of break they needed.</p>
<p>There was hot Nescafe for anyone who needed an early boost, fruit and snacks for those heading into another long study session, chocolates for a quick bit of energy, other drinks, stickers, and small activities that made the space feel more like a student gathering than a distribution point.</p>
<p>The atmosphere stayed deliberately relaxed. There were no speeches and no expectation that someone needed to stay. People arrived naturally, met friends, started conversations, and then continued with their plans when they were ready.</p>
<p>For some, the stop lasted only a few minutes. For others, it became a longer break than expected.</p>
<p>In the middle of an exam session, even a small change of rhythm can make a difference. Sometimes it is enough to leave the library for ten minutes, eat something, see familiar faces, and realise that everyone around you is going through the same demanding weeks.</p>
<figure class="article-inline-image">

<figcaption>the event was intentionally simple, giving students space to join without needing to register or commit their morning.</figcaption>
</figure>
<h2 id="four-editions">Four editions later</h2>
<p>By 2026, Morning Coffee in Front of CTK had reached its fourth edition.</p>
<p>What started as a simple exam-period initiative has gradually become one of the small traditions through which MSOS stays close to students during the moments when university life becomes most demanding.</p>
<p>Its value is not in having a complicated programme. It is in being there.</p>
<p>A table with coffee and food, a few familiar faces, a short conversation, and a reason to stop studying for a moment can be enough to make a stressful morning feel lighter.</p>
<p>The fourth edition continued that idea in the same way it began: by keeping things simple, open, and close to the everyday student experience.</p>

<p>On June 8, 2024, from 9 to 12 AM, at the Central Technical Library of the University of Ljubljana (CTK), we organized our already traditional student break, Morning Coffee in at CTK together with the team from Skupina Povezani and CTK. This was the second year in a row that we gathered at the same place, but each time brings new moments to remember.</p>
<h2 id="beating-stress">Beating Exam Stress with Coffee</h2>
<p>The exam session always brings stress, hours and hours of studying, conversations revolving only around exams, first and second attempts, passed or not, some taking the exam for the first time, and some for the fifth time. That's why we decided to take a short break to catch our breath: to relax, to laugh, and to remind ourselves that we're in this study stress together.</p>

<p>With a cup of hot coffee in hand, and thanks to <strong>Burek Olimpija</strong>, we enjoyed delicious burek with meat and with cheese. We also tried to bring in a bit of fun, we invited students to bring their own cups, and there was a prize for the most creative ones.</p>

<h2 id="student-emotions">We asked two questions that revealed a whole palette of student emotions</h2>
<p>For an extra dose of interaction, we set up two big boards with questions that simply make you want to answer: <strong>“How do I survive the exam session?"</strong> and <strong>"Kako bi opisal počutje med izpitnem obdobjem?”</strong> (“How would you describe your feelings during the exam period?" in Slovenian).</p>
<p>The reactions were instant, students rushed to write, and the answers were everything but boring: from "chaotic" and “We want to sleep! (not in CTK)!" to "chill", "stressed", "exhausted", "happy" and "sleepy". In other words, a whole spectrum of student emotions, honestly poured into just a few words.</p>

<h2 id="from-coffee-to-simulators">How we went from coffee to a flight simulator and 3D printing machines</h2>
<p>As a bonus for students, in cooperation with the university's technical library, the program was enriched with a CTK exhibition, where a flight simulator, 3D printers, and other interesting equipment were presented. Students could try them out and then rent them for free at the CTK Creative Studio, part of their educational program.</p>
<h2 id="coffee-and-burek">Coffee and burek = motivation to get up every day and study for 12 hours</h2>
<p>Around 150 people visited the joint stand of MSOS, Skupina Povezani, and CTK to hang out, have coffee, grab a snack, and exchange stories among books and deadlines. The event took place in an excellent atmosphere, lots of smiles, new acquaintances, and a small reminder that even in the most stressful periods, there's always time for coffee and good company.</p>

<h2 id="from-coffee-to-simulators">How we went from coffee to a flight simulator and 3D printing machines</h2>
<p>As a bonus for students, in cooperation with the university's technical library, the program was enriched with a CTK exhibition, where a flight simulator, 3D printers, and other interesting equipment were presented. Students could try them out and then rent them for free at the CTK Creative Studio, part of their educational program.</p>
<h2 id="coffee-and-burek">Coffee and burek = motivation to get up every day and study for 12 hours</h2>
<p>Around 150 people visited the joint stand of MSOS, Skupina Povezani, and CTK to hang out, have coffee, grab a snack, and exchange stories among books and deadlines. The event took place in an excellent atmosphere, lots of smiles, new acquaintances, and a small reminder that even in the most stressful periods, there's always time for coffee and good company.</p>

<p>On International Womens Day, the MSOS Nova Gorica team hosted its very first local event in collaboration with the Macedonian Cultural Association "Ohridski Biseri". Students from Ljubljana, Nova Gorica, and the surrounding region crossed the border into Gorizia, Italy, for an evening of painting, wine, and music.</p>

<h2 id="section-1">A first for MSOS Nova Gorica</h2>
<p>This was more than just an event. It was the first official activity organized by our new MSOS Nova Gorica team. With support from the Macedonian Cultural Association "Ohridski Biseri", we transformed the cozy venue Etnoteca Mama Angela into a space filled with creativity and laughter.</p>

</figure>
<h2 id="section-2">Art, music, and togetherness</h2>
<p>The concept was simple but powerful: a Paint &amp; Wine Night where anyone could sit down with a canvas, brushes, and a glass of wine, and let inspiration take over. No prior painting experience was needed. Some chose to create symbolic pieces honoring women, others painted freely from the heart.</p>
<p>A live DJ set gave the evening a vibrant rhythm, turning it into more than just a workshop. It became a celebration. Between brushstrokes and beats, students connected, shared stories, and enjoyed an atmosphere that was both creative and festive.</p>

<h2 id="section-3">Why it mattered</h2>
<p>Held on March 8, International Womens Day, the event carried a deeper meaning. It was a chance to celebrate and appreciate women, not only through words but through art. The paintings that came out of the night were diverse, personal, and full of color, much like the student community itself.</p>
<p>To capture the spirit of the night, we created an aftermovie, which you can watch below.</p>

<div class="article-body">
<p>On the morning of 19 May, students from different academic backgrounds joined professors and representatives of the diplomatic community at the Faculty of Law in Ljubljana for a lecture by the President of the Republic of North Macedonia, Dr Gordana Siljanovska-Davkova.</p>
<h2 id="organised-with">Organised with</h2>
<p><strong>Faculty of Law, University of Ljubljana</strong> as official host and organiser, the <strong>Embassy of the Republic of North Macedonia in the Republic of Slovenia</strong> in institutional cooperation, and <strong>MSOS</strong> supporting student outreach, promotion, and participation in the follow-up student discussion.</p>
<h2 id="lecture-room">A lecture room filled by more than one field of study</h2>
<p>The lecture was organised by the Faculty of Law at the University of Ljubljana in cooperation with the Embassy of the Republic of North Macedonia in Slovenia. In the lead-up to the event, MSOS worked with the Embassy to share the invitation with students and encourage them to take part.</p>
<p>That outreach helped bring the event beyond the usual audience of one faculty. Students from different fields entered the lecture room alongside professors, ambassadors, and other guests, creating a setting in which an official presidential visit also became an opportunity for direct academic exchange.</p>
<figure class="article-inline-image">

<figcaption>Students from different fields joined professors and diplomatic representatives for the English-language lecture at the Faculty of Law.</figcaption>
</figure>
<h2 id="constitutional-change">Constitutional change, the EU path, and an academic return to Ljubljana</h2>
<p>The lecture, titled "Constitutional Transformations on the Road to the EU: Reform of Constitutional Engineering?", focused on questions surrounding constitutional change and European integration.</p>
<p>President Siljanovska-Davkova discussed the constitution as the highest legal act and as a framework through which political systems, institutions, and relationships between citizens and the state are organised. The lecture also explored constitutional amendments as instruments of reform and the questions that arise when constitutional change becomes connected with a country's path toward European Union membership.</p>
<p>The setting also carried a personal academic connection. The President completed her doctorate at the Faculty of Law in Ljubljana, making the lecture a return to an institution that forms part of her own academic path.</p>
<p>Rather than treating the visit only as a formal appearance by a head of state, the lecture placed students and professors directly inside a discussion about constitutional law, institutional reform, and European integration.</p>
<figure class="article-inline-image">

<figcaption>The lecture examined constitutional transformations through the wider context of European integration.</figcaption>
</figure>
<h2 id="questions">Questions from the room</h2>
<p>After the main lecture, the programme opened into a Q&amp;A session.</p>
<p>Students and other participants were able to raise questions directly, extending the event beyond a one-way presentation. The English-language format also made the discussion accessible to an academically diverse audience and to representatives of the international and diplomatic community present in the room.</p>
<p>For MSOS, this was an important part of the event. Bringing students into the room mattered, but giving them an opportunity to listen, ask, and take part in a discussion with the President made the experience more meaningful than simply following an official visit from a distance.</p>
<h2 id="beyond-lecture">Conversations beyond the lecture hall</h2>
<p>The official programme did not end when the lecture room emptied.</p>
<p>A small reception with snacks in the hall outside gave students, professors, guests, and diplomatic representatives time to continue conversations in a more informal setting. The change in atmosphere created space for introductions, short exchanges, and discussions that are often difficult to have during the formal part of an event.</p>
<p>For students, moments like these are part of what makes institutional visits valuable. They turn a formal programme into an opportunity to meet people from different fields, speak directly with professors and guests, and connect academic discussion with the wider community around it.</p>
<h2 id="meeting-students">A smaller meeting focused on students</h2>
<p>After the official programme, members of MSOS joined other students and professors for a smaller meeting with President Siljanovska-Davkova.</p>
<p>The conversation created an opportunity to discuss matters important to Macedonian students in Slovenia, the role of the student community, and possibilities for stronger cooperation in the future.</p>
<p>For MSOS, this was an especially valuable continuation of the day. The organisation's role was not only to help bring students to the lecture, but also to ensure that students had space to be part of the wider conversation surrounding the visit.</p>
<p>The meeting reflected an important part of MSOS's work: connecting students with institutions, creating access to conversations that concern them, and helping build stronger links between the Macedonian student community in Slovenia and institutions in both countries.</p>
<h2 id="wider-visit">Part of a wider official visit to Slovenia</h2>
<p>The lecture formed part of President Siljanovska-Davkova's official visit to Slovenia from 17 to 19 May 2026, undertaken at the invitation of Slovenian President Nataša Pirc Musar.</p>
<p>During the visit, the two presidents met in Ljubljana and discussed bilateral relations and North Macedonia's European integration. President Siljanovska-Davkova also met the President of the Slovenian National Assembly, Zoran Stevanović, representatives of the Macedonian community, Macedonian professionals working in science, culture, and medicine, and members of the Slovenian-Macedonian Business Club. The official programme also included a visit to Bohinj.</p>
<p>Within that broader state visit, the Faculty of Law lecture created a direct connection with students and the academic community. For MSOS, it was a chance to help make that part of the programme visible and accessible to students, and to bring the student perspective into the conversations taking place around the visit.</p>

<h1>SEPA Payments: Practical Aspects and Challenges for Citizens</h1>
<p class="article-subtitle">An online session with the National Bank of the Republic of North Macedonia helped students and parents understand what SEPA means for everyday euro payments between North Macedonia, Slovenia, and the wider European area.</p>

<div class="article-body">
<p>For students and families living between North Macedonia and Slovenia, sending euros across borders is not an abstract financial topic. It can mean paying rent, receiving support from home, or understanding why one international payment costs more than another.</p>
<p>On 11 May 2026, MSOS joined the National Bank of the Republic of North Macedonia for an online webinar focused specifically on the practical side of SEPA.</p>
<h2 id="made-possible-with">Made possible with</h2>
<p>The webinar was organised jointly by two partners. The <strong>National Bank of the Republic of North Macedonia</strong> served as co-organiser and expert partner, while <strong>MSOS</strong> acted as co-organiser and provided student community outreach.</p>
<h2 id="why-sepa-mattered">Why SEPA mattered to our community</h2>
<p>For students and families living between North Macedonia and Slovenia, sending euros across borders is not an abstract financial topic. It can mean paying rent, receiving support from home, transferring money between accounts, covering university-related costs, or simply understanding why one international payment costs more than another.</p>
<p>That is why MSOS joined the National Bank of the Republic of North Macedonia to organise a public webinar focused specifically on the practical side of SEPA.</p>
<p>North Macedonia became part of the geographical scope of the Single Euro Payments Area in March 2025, and Macedonian banks began joining the SEPA payment schemes later that year. This opened the way for faster, more standardised, and more cost-efficient euro transfers between North Macedonia and other SEPA countries, including Slovenia.</p>
<p>The aim of the webinar was to translate that institutional change into information people could actually use.</p>
<h2 id="everyday-payments">From the system to everyday payments</h2>
<p>The main presentation was delivered by <strong>Anita Hegjkezi</strong>, Head of Section in the Payment Systems Directorate, and <strong>Miki Velichkovik</strong>, analyst at the National Bank of the Republic of North Macedonia.</p>
<p>Rather than focusing only on financial terminology, the session explained SEPA through the questions most relevant to citizens. Participants learned what joining the SEPA area changes, how euro transfers are processed, what users should expect from their banks, and which practical benefits may appear when sending or receiving money across borders.</p>
<p>For students in Slovenia, the topic was particularly relevant because many regularly interact with bank accounts in both countries. Understanding the system helps people compare transfer options, recognise the information their bank may request, and make more informed decisions when moving money between North Macedonia and Slovenia.</p>
<h2 id="questions">Questions from students and parents</h2>
<p>The webinar concluded with an open question-and-answer session.</p>
<p>The 20 participants, including students and parents, were able to ask about the practical situations that matter to them directly. This was an important part of the format because changes in payment systems often become clearer only when they are connected to a real transfer, a bank account, or a specific problem someone has already encountered.</p>
<p>The session gave participants an opportunity to receive explanations directly from specialists working with payment systems at the National Bank, rather than relying only on fragmented information from banks, social media, or informal conversations.</p>
<h2 id="why-collaboration">Bringing expert information closer to students</h2>
<p>The webinar reflected one of the ways MSOS can support students beyond social and community activities.</p>
<p>When a change directly affects everyday student life, the organisation can help connect the community with the institution that has the expertise to explain it. In this case, cooperation with the National Bank created a direct channel between students, families, and specialists working on the payment system itself.</p>
<p>For MSOS, the value of the event was not simply explaining what the abbreviation SEPA means. It was helping students understand how a major financial change can affect the practical reality of living between two countries.</p>

</figure>
<div class="article-body">
<p>On 28 February 2026, MSOS members came together for a half-day teambuilding that also marked something much bigger for the organisation: the opening of the new MSOS Hub.</p>
<p>After months of work during the winter, the renovated space was finally ready to be shown to the people it was created for.</p>
<p>The gathering was deliberately informal. Members spent the day talking, playing games, eating together, remembering old MSOS stories, and discussing what the organisation has built so far and where it wants to go next.</p>
<p>At the same time, everyone had the chance to see the Hub not simply as a renovated room, but as a new shared space for the student community.</p>
<h2 id="made-possible-with">Made possible with</h2>
<p><strong>Makedonsko kulturno drustvo Makedonija</strong> supported the renovation and development of the Hub. The <strong>Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade of the Republic of North Macedonia</strong> provided financial support for the renovation and development of the space. <strong>MSOS</strong> added further funding from the organisation's own saved finances, together with the renovation work, organisation, and future management of the Hub.</p>
<figure class="article-inline-image">

<figcaption>after a winter of renovation, the Hub was finally ready to welcome the community it was created for.</figcaption>
</figure>
<h2 id="new-space">A new space for the community</h2>
<p>The Hub was renovated during the winter with the support of <strong>Makedonsko kulturno drustvo Makedonija</strong>, financial support from the <strong>Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade of the Republic of North Macedonia</strong>, and part of MSOS's own saved finances.</p>
<p>The goal was never simply to have an office.</p>
<p>MSOS wanted a place that students could actually use. A place for smaller events, workshops, meetings, cultural activities, informal gatherings, project work, celebrations, parties, and the many everyday moments that do not need a large venue but still need a home.</p>
<p>For an organisation built around students living away from Macedonia, having a physical space also creates something less measurable: continuity. It gives members somewhere to meet, plan, create, and return to.</p>
<figure class="article-inline-image">

<figcaption>the Hub was designed as a flexible space for meetings, small events, cultural activities, and student gatherings.</figcaption>
</figure>
<h2 id="people-behind-msos">A day for the people behind MSOS</h2>
<p>The opening was combined with a teambuilding because the space only makes sense when it is connected to the people who keep the organisation moving.</p>
<p>Throughout the day, members talked about MSOS, the activities organised over the years, and the different ways people have contributed to the organisation. There was time to look back, but also to talk about future ideas and how the Hub could help make more of them possible.</p>
<p>The gathering was not structured as a formal meeting. Instead, the programme moved naturally between conversations, games, food, and activities that gave newer and older members a chance to spend time together outside the usual event-planning environment.</p>
<figure class="article-inline-image">

<figcaption>the teambuilding gave members time to reconnect outside the usual rhythm of organising events and projects.</figcaption>
</figure>
<h2 id="games-food-history">Games, homemade food, and a little MSOS history</h2>
<p>One of the activities tested how well members really knew MSOS.</p>
<p>The quiz covered the organisation's roots, past events, projects, and moments from its development. It was a light way to revisit the story of MSOS while giving newer members a chance to discover details they might not have known.</p>
<p>The rest of the day followed the same relaxed rhythm. Homemade food was prepared for the gathering, together with different snacks and drinks. Among the drinks was Skopsko beer, adding a familiar Macedonian detail to a day centred on community.</p>
<p>More than anything, the food and games created the kind of atmosphere the Hub is meant to support in the future: informal, open, and easy to join.</p>
<h2 id="thank-you">A small thank you to the people who keep showing up</h2>
<p>The gathering was also an opportunity to recognise the members who have given their time, ideas, and energy to MSOS.</p>
<p>Members received small thank-you notes as a personal sign of appreciation for their contribution to the organisation.</p>
<p>It was a simple gesture, but an important one. MSOS has grown through people volunteering their time around studies, work, and everyday responsibilities. The Hub itself is another result of that accumulated effort.</p>
<p>Opening the space together therefore felt like the right moment to say thank you.</p>
<h2 id="what-hub-is-for">What the Hub is here for</h2>
<p>The opening on 28 February was only the beginning.</p>
<p>The MSOS Hub is intended to become a flexible home for smaller parts of student life that are often difficult to organise elsewhere. It can host planning meetings, workshops, cultural evenings, smaller educational activities, project sessions, social gatherings, celebrations, parties, and informal meet-ups.</p>
<p>It can also become a place where a new student can enter without needing a formal reason to be there.</p>
<p>The purpose is simple: to give the Macedonian student community in Slovenia a space where ideas can start, people can meet, and smaller moments can grow into future projects.</p>
<p>For MSOS, the Hub is not only a new room. It is infrastructure for the next chapter of the organisation.</p>

<p>In January 2025, Macedonian students in Ljubljana and Maribor turned cafés into fan zones, gathering to cheer, sing, and share the thrill of handball, proving that even far from home, the spirit of Macedonia lives loud.</p>

<h2 id="section-1">Two cities, one spirit</h2>
<p>This winter, the World Handball Championship brought more than just matches on screen. It brought Macedonian students together. In Ljubljana, the initiative came from a student, Ljuben Najdovski, who suggested that MSOS host a group watch of the match against Guinea held on January 19, 2025. With quick organization and support from the local café Lepa Žoga, a space was reserved, sign-ups were collected, and soon enough 25 students filled the place with flags, chants, and laughter.</p>

<p>Just a week later, the energy carried over to Maribor, where the local MSOS team set up their own fan gathering for the match against France held on January 25, 2025. Hosted at café CLC in the city center, the event welcomed 35 students and friends, complete with snacks, music, and a proper fan atmosphere. Even though the result on the scoreboard was not in Macedonias favor, the night ended in celebration, with new friendships and even an after-gathering that lasted long beyond the final whistle.</p>

<h2 id="section-2">More than just watching the game</h2>
<p>What made these events special was not only the sport. It was the way students created a piece of home abroad: waving flags, sharing drinks, shouting "Ајде Македонија!" at the screen, and laughing together at missed shots or brilliant saves. For newcomers, it was a chance to instantly feel part of a community. For others, it was a reminder that even hundreds of kilometers from home, they were not cheering alone.</p>

<h2 id="section-3">A new tradition in the making</h2>
<p>From Ljubljana to Maribor, these watch parties showed that supporting the national team can be more than sports. It is a way to build friendships, strengthen community, and carry a piece of Macedonia wherever we go. With each match, the energy grows, and one thing is certain: these gatherings will continue to be part of the MSOS story.</p>

<h1>Watching the Football Match Between Macedonia and Wales Together</h1>

<div class="article-body">
<p>On 18 November 2025, 45 students gathered at Lepa Žoga in Ljubljana to watch Macedonia play Wales.</p>
<p>The event was simple by design. There was no long programme, formal stage, or complicated schedule. The focus was the match, the atmosphere, and the opportunity for Macedonian students in Slovenia to spend the evening together.</p>
<p>What began as a small sports gathering attracted more people than expected.</p>
<h2 id="short-preparation">A short preparation for a clear idea</h2>
<p>The event was organised between 15 and 18 November.</p>
<p>Hristijan Josifoski coordinated the activity, while Monika Jakimova supported its promotion. The short preparation period meant that the format needed to remain focused and easy to communicate.</p>
<p>The objective was not only to watch one football match.</p>
<p>MSOS wanted to create another opportunity for Macedonians in Slovenia to meet, strengthen the sporting spirit within the community, and see whether similar activities should become more regular.</p>
<p>The event was organised without direct expenditure by MSOS.</p>
<h2 id="forty-five-students">Forty five students in one room</h2>
<p>The response showed that the idea had found the right audience.</p>
<p>Forty five students joined the gathering, more than the organising team had initially expected. The venue brought together people who already knew one another and others who arrived through their connection with the national team and the wider Macedonian student community.</p>
<p>A football match naturally gives people something shared to react to.</p>
<p>Every attack, missed chance, discussion, and change in momentum becomes part of the room. People do not need a formal introduction before they begin speaking. The match creates its own rhythm and gives the gathering a reason to remain active from beginning to end.</p>
<p>That made the evening useful beyond the result on the screen.</p>
<h2 id="sport-as-reason">Sport as a reason to meet</h2>
<p>The event had four connected goals.</p>
<p>It created a social occasion for Macedonians living and studying in Slovenia. It encouraged a shared sporting atmosphere. It tested whether students would respond to this type of activity. It also created a starting point for future social and sports events.</p>
<p>The feedback after the gathering was positive.</p>
<p>The attendance and atmosphere showed that students are interested in events that are easy to join, connected with something they already follow, and organised in a setting where conversation can happen naturally.</p>
<p>This format does not require a large production to work.</p>
<p>It requires the right match, a suitable venue, clear communication, and enough space for people to experience the event together.</p>
<h2 id="format-worth-continuing">A format worth continuing</h2>
<p>The report's main recommendation was direct: organise sports activities more often and explore different formats.</p>
<p>That could include future football matches, handball gatherings, tournaments, outdoor activities, or other shared sports experiences.</p>
<p>The importance of this evening lies in that continuation.</p>
<p>It showed that a sports event can serve two purposes at the same time. It can bring people together around competition, while also helping a student community feel more connected.</p>
<p>Forty five students came to watch Macedonia and Wales.</p>
<p>They also left MSOS with a clear reason to organise the next gathering.</p>

<h2>Visa D</h2>
<p>A long-stay visa D is a separate document, generally used for a stay longer than 90 days and up to one year where its conditions are met. It is not automatically the correct or necessary route for every degree student.</p>
<p>A long-stay visa D is a separate document, generally used for a stay longer than 90 days and up to one year where its conditions are met. In practice it is mainly relevant for students coming on a study exchange, for example Erasmus, for up to one year. This route is handled only by the Slovenian Embassy in Skopje and cannot be arranged through a Slovenian administrative unit.</p>
<p>Students enrolled in a full degree programme in Slovenia normally do not use visa D. Their route is the temporary residence permit for study described below, which is decided by the Slovenian administrative unit (upravna enota). Many people loosely call this a &ldquo;visa&rdquo;, but legally it is a residence permit, not a visa.</p>
<h2>Temporary residence permit for study</h2>

@ -217,29 +217,28 @@
<h2>Route A: Slovenian Embassy in Skopje</h2>
<p>This is the more conservative route for a first permit because the process begins before long-term relocation. Before the appointment:</p>
<p>You can start the process from Skopje before you move to Slovenia. Keep in mind that the embassy does not decide the residence permit itself: it forwards your application and documents to the competent administrative unit in Slovenia and passes the decision back. Because the paperwork travels both ways by post, this route usually takes longer, and the fee is higher than applying in Slovenia. What to prepare:</p>
<ul class="guide-checklist">
<li>Confirm the current appointment method.</li>
<li>Request the latest document checklist.</li>
<li>Ask which documents require Slovenian translation.</li>
<li>Ask whether legalisation is required.</li>
<li>Ask how recent the criminal-record certificate must be.</li>
<li>Confirm fee payment.</li>
<li>Prepare originals and copies.</li>
<li>Keep proof of submission.</li>
<li>Appointments are arranged in advance by phone (+389 2 310 3050) or email (consular.skopje@gov.si).</li>
<li>The usual documents are a valid travel document (passport), adequate health insurance, sufficient means of subsistence for your stay in Slovenia, a criminal-record certificate, and a certificate of enrolment or acceptance into a study programme in Slovenia.</li>
<li>All documents must be translated into Slovenian by an official (court-certified) translator.</li>
<li>Documents must be certified (overitev).</li>
<li>The criminal-record certificate must be no older than three months.</li>
<li>The fee at the embassy is 123 EUR (applying at an administrative unit in Slovenia is cheaper, around 70 EUR in total).</li>
<li>Prepare originals and copies, and keep proof of submission.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Route B: Slovenian administrative unit</h2>
<p>A lawfully staying student may be able to submit the first application in Slovenia under the current general rule. Before choosing this route:</p>
<p>If you are already lawfully in Slovenia, for example on a visa-free short stay, you can usually submit your first application directly at the competent administrative unit (upravna enota). This is normally faster and cheaper than going through the embassy, because there is no back-and-forth by post and the fee is lower (around 70 EUR in total). The documents you need are the same as for the embassy route. Before choosing this route:</p>
<ul class="guide-checklist">
<li>Confirm that your purpose is covered.</li>
<li>Calculate your remaining lawful Schengen days.</li>
<li>Ask whether you receive any document allowing continued stay.</li>
<li>Ask where the decision and card will be delivered.</li>
<li>Check whether leaving Slovenia while the application is pending creates problems.</li>
<li>Confirm that your study purpose is covered.</li>
<li>Keep track of your remaining lawful visa-free days so you apply in good time.</li>
<li>Ask the administrative unit whether, on submitting, you receive a confirmation that lets you stay until the decision. Do not assume it does.</li>
<li>Avoid leaving Slovenia while your application is pending. Returning to North Macedonia and re-entering can cause problems at the border, especially when transiting Croatia.</li>
<li>Ask where the decision and residence card will be delivered.</li>
