Business consulting Balkans & expat services Netherlands.
I connect Dutch and Balkan companies with each other, and help expats feel at home in the Netherlands.
Bridge To Balkans is the consultancy of Divna Stankovic. With over 30 years of working directly with clients (from banking in Belgrade to telecom across the Balkans to operations management in the Netherlands), I know both worlds from the inside. Whether you’re a Dutch company looking at the Balkans, a Balkan business exploring the Dutch market, or an expat navigating a new country: I’ll get you where you need to be.
Who I Am
More than a consultant. A connector.
Doing business across borders takes more than a good product. It takes someone who understands the culture, speaks the language, and has the right connections. That’s where I come in.
My career has always been about people and clients. I started in banking at Dafiment Banka in Belgrade, managing high-value transactions and leading teams. Then I spent 17 years at Telenor in the Balkans, working directly with business clients, managing key accounts, handling contracts, and solving problems across departments. After moving to the Netherlands, I rebuilt my career from the ground up and now lead operations across 28 locations with a team of 14.
That’s 30+ years of being the person clients turn to. And that’s exactly what Bridge To Balkans is built on.
What I Do
Business Consulting - Netherlands ↔ Balkans
Whether you’re a Dutch company looking to export, outsource, or find partners in Southeast Europe, or a Balkan company exploring opportunities in the Netherlands, I know both markets, speak the language, and make sure nothing gets lost in translation. Culturally or commercially. Key sectors: Agri-tech, Water Management, and IT/Nearshoring.
Soft Landing Service for Expats
New in the Netherlands? The paperwork alone can be overwhelming. From registering at the municipality to finding a school for your kids. I handle the practicalities so you can focus on settling in.
