Difficulty: mediumYour flat
Asking about your application by phone
Role-play: you call to find out what has happened to your application — you give your name, your case number and take in a fast answer (Provera statusa zahteva).
Where it happens
Your flat
Your cosy flat in central Novi Sad — the base where your lessons take place.
Who you talk to
Branka (MUP inspector)
Branka has worked the foreigners' counter for years. Hundreds of applications pass her desk each week, so she speaks briefly and to the point but without irritation: she asks what you need, looks at your papers and names the next step.
What you need to do
- Introduce yourself and say you are calling about an application you submitted.
- Give the submission date and your case number if you have one.
- The complication: the answer comes fast and in officialese. Ask for it more slowly and more simply.
- Ask what that means in practice and whether you need to do anything.
- Repeat back what you understood, say thank you and goodbye.
