Under the Connect Srpska programme, which connects students from Republika Srpska who study in Austria with the local economy, certificates of appreciation were awarded to companies that enabled students to complete a professional internship and gain practical experience in Republika Srpska.
The programme was carried out by the Representative Office of Republika Srpska in Austria, the Chamber of Commerce of Republika Srpska and the Innovation Centre Banja Luka. Its aim is to let young people apply the knowledge gained while studying abroad in the local business environment, explore professional development opportunities and build ties with companies in Republika Srpska.
The certificates were presented to representatives of the following companies and institutions
- Investiciono-razvojna banka Republike Srpske (IRBRS)

The Chamber of Commerce of Republika Srpska extends special thanks to all companies that recognised the importance of investing in young talent and opened their doors to students. Their support is an important contribution to job opportunities, professional development and the use of knowledge in the local economy.
Connect Srpska is more than an internship programme: it is a bridge between young people, knowledge gained abroad and the opportunities Republika Srpska offers.
