Momčilo has been part of the Bosnia & Herzegovina Futures Foundation (BHFF) for 10 years. His journey within the Foundation was not accidental—it was driven by curiosity, openness, and a strong desire to learn from the best.
The First Step: An Inspiring Environment
As he shares, one of the key reasons he joined the Foundation was the opportunity to learn from world-class experts.
This exposure—having top professionals come to Bosnia and Herzegovina and share their knowledge—remains one of the greatest values of BHFF in his view.
“The biggest benefit is that the Foundation brought professionals here, allowing me to learn from people in my field, within my own environment.”
Learning Through Practice, Not Just Theory
While lectures and events are important, Momčilo highlights one skill above all that he developed through the Foundation—problem-solving.
According to him, BHFF acts as a simulation of a real professional environment.
“The Foundation is a kind of simulation of what awaits you—but in a ‘light’ version. You learn how things work before stepping into the real sector.”
Through projects, teamwork, and various initiatives, members develop key competencies that directly translate into their professional careers.
The Power of Community and Teamwork
One of the most important lessons Momčilo emphasizes is teamwork.
“What’s most important is learning how to work with people—how to approach others, communicate effectively, and achieve a common goal together.”
This environment fosters collaboration, mutual support, and collective growth—core values embedded in the BHFF community.
As he puts it:
“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”
Proactivity as the Key to Growth
A message he strongly highlights is the importance of taking initiative.
“There is no vaccine for knowledge—you have to be proactive and actively participate.”
His approach has always been simple: show up with an open mind, ready to listen, ask questions, and make the most of every opportunity.
Advice for the Next Generation
Based on his experience, Momčilo shares a few key pieces of advice for young people preparing for the job market:
Focus on real-world projects in your field
Continuously seek and embrace feedback
Be ready to take responsibility
As he clearly puts it:
“In the Foundation, you learn. In a company, you deliver.”
