FRIENDS OF SREBRENICA - PRIJATELJI SREBRENICE
Most people think of Srebrenica only in the context of the 1995 Srebrenica genocide, which is the second genocide that Serbs had committed against Bosniaks (Bosnian Muslims) in the area. The first genocide against Srebrenica Bosniaks had been committed in 1943 by Serbian NAZI-collaborators known as Chetniks. However, Srebrenica is much more than just a place of two genocides.
Hate Stops Here
The Srebrenica-based NGO Association "Friends of Srebrenica" (Prijatelji Srebrenice) is comprised of Bosniaks and Serbs who work together for a better future. The director of this multi-ethnic organization - which is financed by the governments of the Netherlands, United States, as well as the United Nations - is Dragana Jovanovic. Five other employees include Mira Blagojevic, Bojan Maksimovic, Dijana Hren, Ado Hasanovic, Dejan Petrovic, Ljubisa Milovanovic, and Esad Mandzic. There are also volonteers working on behalf of this NGO and they are: Ismeta Hamzic, Mirjana Sarenac, Emina Kovacevic, Rada Simic, Ajsa Muhamedbegovic, Maja Radic, Sanja Rosuljas, and Almir Sinanovic.
They have a web site which they regularly update with all kinds of positive and interesting news from Srebrenica. You would be surprised, but this small town is very rich in culture and beautiful things happen there on a daily basis. But, that's not all! They even have a video journal covering a range of topics tailored to the interests of youth - who are the future of this town.
