Want to become ATC - options

Hi guys.

There isn't any doubt in my mind that being air traffic controller is what I want, and am able to do. However, being in Croatia and speaking only English severly limits my option of applying in slection process in various european countries. That's why I need your help. I know that among you there are informed individulas that know about european ATC companies more than me. My question is, where can I undergo selection process. I know Crocontrol and Eurocontrol are my options, but what about NATS. Can I apply there? I know Belgocontrol and Austrocontrol requires me to be in EU (I am not, yet), DFS too. Skyguide requires me to be in EFTA state, of course, I am not.

Do you know of any other options?

Thank you.

Germany, you mean DFS, don't I have to be from EU for that, and same question for NATS?

As for Slovenia, I havent been able to find anything about selection on their site, so I sent them email. No answer.

@kilua,
multiply your choices with zero ,regarding your chance to get job without language and citizenship at Balkans (Slovenia including )
Maybe only eurocontrol as a option.
As far as I know (let someone to correct me) only real chance to get job somewhere else within Europe requires active and recognized license,for starters I am very doubtful.
But who knows,try all around....

NATS only require you to be eligible to work in the UK.

I have worked with a number of non-EU citizens as a result. You would have to have VERY good standard of english comprehension to have much chance of success is it is not your mother toungue.

The next enroute controller selection process is next year, and I find the prospect of working in EU very appealing.
