Nidžara Ahmetašević: Citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina are part of a political experiment - Cross-border Talks
The Bosnian journalist Nidžara Ahmetašević speaks to Cross-border Talks about living in a political experiment together with her fellow citizens. She takes on the specific status of Bosnia and Herzegovina in international relations (a protectorate), the specific tripartite political division of the country and explains why the citizens of Bosnia are ignored. The 2014 protests were probably the last attempt for them to establish political presence by way of citizen assemblies. What has followed is a deep social crisis, which has led to massive emigration. Nidžara also explains the reason behind the EU’s pretense that Bosnia is moving a step forward in its accession process to the union - migration is a huge issue and the EU has been funding detention centers (or concentration camps in her words) for migrants inside Bosnia and Herzegovina.
