“What is happening to refugees from the countries of the Middle East we consider as a human tragedy that, in one way, provokes our moral and dignity, this is an attack on the humanity“, as said from Pomozi.ba.
“As citizens of a country that passed through a very similar period in its recent history, we have to be sensitive at this category of displaced persons, We are currently dealing with consequences of the tragedy, and unfortunately we are not able to solve the cause.
