Yals Association of Language Schools of Serbia is proud to announce the successful completion of the pilot project “Refresh English language course for Serbian businesspeople cooperating with US companies,” implemented with the support of the U.S. Embassy in Belgrade and the Regional English Language Office.

Launched in January 2026, this pilot program was designed for professionals in the private sector collaborating with American and international partners. The course comprised 50 hours of instruction, delivered to six groups at the American Resource Center (ARC) in Belgrade and the American Corners in Niš and Novi Sad.

Participants enhanced their business communication skills, including public speaking, negotiating, formal email correspondence, and the use of digital tools for professional presentations. Also, participants established valuable professional connections, and instances of direct business cooperation between group members were recorded.

We extend our gratitude to all participants for their dedication and to the U.S. Embassy and the RELO office for their partnership and support. Due to the great success of this pilot project, the U.S. Embassy will sponsor the implementation of the course for 20 groups in 10 municipalities across the capital and other cities in Serbia in the next cycle. Yals continues its mission of providing high-quality, practical language education that helps Serbian companies succeed in the international market.
