A Swiss volunteer was given the opportunity to give an interview to the Bijeljina newspaper "Semberske Novine". It was an interesting experience. One of the Bosnian volunteers- fluent in German, thanks to years of watching German TV series- acted as translator between the reporter and interviewee. The article, considerably longer than the one published in the Swiss newspaper, came out yesterday, the 28th of July. Generally speaking, it talks about the work we're doing in the summer camp but also touches upon personal thoughts and feelings. Bosnian people are very interested in what we, the Swiss, think about their country.
The lady at the kiosk seemed absolutely astonished when I asked her to give me three copies of "Semberske Novine". Pointing to the article and then to my humble self, she smiled and just added a "dobre, dobre".
The article was written in cyrillic font (it's a newspaper from the Republika Srpska) and I really couldn't understand a word, just my name, Alessandro Suter, written in these amusing letters. Talking to the Bosnian volunteers and asking them to translate the article, they said that it's "well done" and "interesting", so I think it's really not so bad.
Unfortunately "Semberske Novine" hasn't got any internet presence, so we'll have to take a good picture of the article and upload it.
