There are no cinemas, promenades, cafes where you can go out.
This is how young people in Srebrenica answer the question of where they go out and what they do in their free time.
Nineteen-year-old Jelena Mijatovic says that she goes out in Bratunac, a few kilometers away, where, as she points out, there are more young people she can hang out with.
“I don’t remember when there was any promotion or screening of a movie,” Jelena describes what she thinks is missing in the city.
Taxi as the only transport
The young people of Srebrenica point out that it’s not just cafes, promenades or cinemas that they need.
The bus station was recently closed and there is no bus service, except for the school bus that transports students.
What do they say in the Municipality?
“The situation as far as the youth is concerned is bad,” noted Mladen Grujicic, the mayor of Srebrenica, who has been in that position for two terms, or eight years.
“All those people who had some ideas and who presented them to the authorities left, because they asserted themselves, learned foreign languages, and I think that contributed the most to them leaving and not staying in Srebrenica,” he added, Radio Slobodna Evropa reports.
