what about accomodation ?? is it prepared by committe or participant?
ReplyDeletePlease read here http://www.bimun-unaserbia.org/?q=node/37 what the participation fee includes. The conditions say that foreign participants are not provided with hotel accomodation. You will have to pay for it separately. But they offer the option for foreign participants to ask the hosts – students from Belgrade for accommodation („BIMUN Hospitality Club“). It's a good opportunity, I suppose. Serbian people are very welcoming and hospitable according to my experience :)
ReplyDeleteAfter paying my fees is it assured that i wil participate.
ReplyDelete"During the several month-long preparation period, the team participates in all the aspects of planning and organizing a project." does that mean, that the participants are to stay in Belgrade for that whole period?
