Milica is an environmental and social consultant with a focus on EU and IFI funded projects within the Belgrade Infrastructure group.

At Arup Belgrade she leads the Environmental and Social Advisory team overseeing the successful execution of projects aligned with the Environmental and Social policies of development and commercial banks. Her extensive experience primarily revolves around projects financed by the EBRD, ADB, EIB, World Bank, and IFC, as well as those adhering to Equator Principles, predominantly in Eastern Europe and the Western Balkans.

With an engineering background Milica has devoted a significant portion of her career to analysing the social impacts of infrastructure projects. As a senior social consultant, her efforts are concentrated on understanding how these projects affect communities at large and individuals within them, identifiying risks to the fabric of those communities as well as opportunities to increase social value through project delivery. Her expertise covers various aspects, including land acquisition, resettlement and livelihood restoration, labor management, construction phase impacts, residual effects during operations, stakeholder engagement, and grievance management. Throughout this process, she collaborates closely with local authorities, interest groups, NGOs, public utility companies, and the people affected by the projects.

Over the past twelve years, Milica has been working on Environmental and Social Impact Assessment and Due Diligence projects related to public utility and infrastructure investments. Her responsibilities include review of the proposed investments against the adopted standards, and development of mitigation and management plans required to ensure project delivery in accordance with those standards - Environmental and Social Action Plans (ESAPs), Stakeholder Engagement Plans and Resettlement and Livelihood Restoration Action Plans. The project sectors include water and wastewater, waste management, roads and highways, urban transport and energy, specifically renewable energy.
