Dalal: We have to raise your voice and to draw attention to what is still going on

The singer Dalal Midhat Talakić, which was part of this year's performing team of Bosnia and Herzegovina at the Eurovision Song Contest, addressed the fans via Facebook.

In short text refers to the fact that through a three-minute song show the problem of refugees in Europe, question the tolerance and been addressed discrimination and exclusion. She mentioned also the fact that the full amount of our participation, as well as transfer costs provided by performing these sponsors, and that is not consumed is not a budget brand.

In the section I think her post in its entirety:

By Dalal Midhat Talakić, singer, representative of Bosnia and Herzegovina at the Eurovision Song Contest 2016.Our job is not only singing, writing songs or making music, our heads are not just for new fashion styles, we have to raise your voice and to draw attention to what happened to us and still is going on.We are not fenced off by barbed wire or walls of prejudice because they come from Bosnia and Herzegovina.

That feeling I was 11 years old when I was expelled from his home.That feeling is the whole life was my father because of color.This feeling I have now when I separated at the airport because of the passport or the color of my skin, religion, names.

This feeling of having all that love and should not, which are different from the set of ideal criteria, which carry a beard because it is in vogue throughout Europe, but only we can not because we are called by different names.Because we come from Bosnia and Herzegovina. For our country, unfortunately, has such an image in the world.

Thanks to the Swedish SVT in which as the main news published that finally one country, through performance at the Eurovision Song Contest, gritted her teeth and said their opinion of the current crisis, but also the previous crises that Europe has been able to prevent. This country is called Bosnia and Herzegovina.

With pride I'm part of the team that this year, without any support from the state budget without a single dinar, I found commercial sponsors and invested their money to ensure the participation principle of the country at the Eurovision Song Contest and then pay for a transfer to you, our dear Bosnians and Herzegovinians on our national television can monitor all three nights of this year's Eurovision Song Contest.
