Emir Galijašević: Countering nationalist narratives in the Western Balkan region

Emir Galijašević, political activist, city of Tešanj, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

A short interview with the Balkan Forum. His views on countering nationalist narratives in the Western Balkan region: “Yes, thank you once again for the invitation, so you gave an introduction to the issue of young people and that one narrative that has been present for more than somewhat twenty years, especially among young people within the former Yugoslavia.

Today we are in Cetinje at this year’s REACT camp, this is my first time to participate in the REACT camp, and I think this is a real example of, how to say, go through these unwanted processes in our community, enable young people to get to know each other better, to get an education, to socialize and to get to know new cultures, new customs, new languages and to establish friendships above all.
