Study abroad in Belgrade, Serbia, for spring 2014

[Holdeman, Jeffrey D.]

Dear SEELangers,

I have a student who is interested in studying abroad in Belgrade, 
Serbia, for spring 2014 semester.  She did a program this summer (which 
she loved and thrived in) and would like to return for a longer time 
and for additional coursework.  Here is what she is looking for:

"I would like to spend spring 2014 in Belgrade, Serbia. My primary 
reason for this is to become fluent in the language (I am in the 300 
level BCS class now). I would also like to take some culture classes as 
well. I hope to gain a better understanding of the political and war 
history in the Balkans as well as what the impact of communism, and its 
demise, was on Serbia and the Serbian people. I also hope to 
participate in some internship or volunteer work. Some ideas I had were 
to work in a school (English-speaking) to help with any tutoring and or 
to help students who are interested in attending universities in 
America gain a better understanding of what it is like. I have 
contacted some high schools in Belgrade, and they have all been very 
receptive to collaborating with me. I am pre-med, so I would love a 
medical related internship if possible. Lastly, I would like a rather 
flexible experience to allow for travel around the area."

Does anyone have experience with programs that match all or most of 
these parameters?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Please 
respond to me on- or off-list and I will post a summary in a week.
