About the organizer

The Central Council of Serbs in Germany eV (ZSD) invites all interested Serbian applicants of about 750,000 from all parts of former Yugoslavia who are living in the Federal Republic of Germany to discuss about socio-political issues, the situation of Serbs abroad and to formulate positions and develops solutions for all problems and Life situations.

At the same time the ZSD continues the preservation of the Serbian language, Culture and the Serbian tradition among the Serbian immigrants in Germany as an essential condition for the creation of a multicultural society.

Most Serbs immigrated to Germany as “guest workers”. They already live here in second or third generation. From the very beginning Serbian migrants have started organizing different Serbian organizations and associations.

Some of these associations existed for 40 years. During the civil wars of the 1990s in the former Yugoslavia, most Serbian associations withdrew from public life and they did not succeed to enter into a dialogue with the majority of the society.

ZSD Foundation in Hamburg tries to overcome the absence and to make the Serbs feel perceptible again in Germany. The biggest responsibility of ZSD is to encourage the Serbian migrant organizations in the years of reconstruction and empower the local structures of the majority society to work together.

Furthermore, ZSD attempt to the generational change in the Serbian to accompany migrant organizations and intercultural in the associations for more Opening referencing. The construction is still ongoing at national, regional and local levels.
