The Swiss Cooperation Office Serbia (COOF) was opened in 1991 in Belgrade. Jointly run by SDC and SECO, the COOF is a part of the Embassy of Switzerland to Serbia and plays a central role in the management of Switzerland’s cooperation with Serbia. It is the interface between strategic planning and practical implementation, and between partners in Switzerland and Serbia. The Cooperation Office is staffed with three Swiss experts (Country Director – currently vacant; Deputy Country Director – Olivier Bovet; Junior Professional Officer – Mattia Poretti) and 12 local programme, administrative and logistics staff (see Organizational Chart).
