Muhamed remains an optimist committed to changing the world, a fan of the Arctic, cycling, flags, and some of the world’s worst football teams.

His professional experience includes working as Project Manager for the British Council, serving as City Councilor in his home town of Tuzla and acting as Senior Consultant to sustainable development and education projects of the Brainswork Group.
In his talk to Anadolu Agency he said that he’s glad to see young people from BIH who are a part of global progress, who are scholars, but who do not receive enough attention in BiH. He added that BiH must be more open to overcome various borders in order to be more organised.
