A high school student left his family in Italy and returned to BiH

Out of over a million people who returned to BiH, 72 percent returned to FBiH, close to 26 percent in RS, and more than 2 percent to Brcko District. In our country almost 10,000 people have the status of internally displaced persons. More than 150,000 citizens left BiH from 2013 until October 2017, data from the Union for Sustainable Return and Integration show.

Kotorac, a returnee place in BiH's net neutrality, near Sarajevo. Among those who are again on the pre-war burning fire and Hussein Podrug. He came back almost 20 years ago.

"I was living up until the war and had to go. We all had to go to the city. They were in town, and then when it was supposed to come back, I came back," says Batman.

Many luck did not have that. The Union Data for Sustainable Return and Integration in BiH shows:

By 1995, 2.2 million people left their homes. Out of over one million (1,025,011), 72 percent of returnees returned to FBiH. Nearly 26 percent in RS, and more than 2 percent in Brcko District. Nearly 10,000 people still have the status of internally displaced persons. One third of this is compromised. Almost 9,000 returnee families are in a state of social need without any income. Only 1 percent of returnees work.

"We are not satisfied with the non-governmental sector because many people did not get what they were supposed to receive, and secondly, one of the causes of people's departure is agony and wait, so many years after signing the Dayton Peace Accords. see how they live after so many years, after so much money invested in BiH, "says Mirhunisa Zukic, Union President for Sustainable Return and Integration in BiH.

Data show that between 2013 and 2017 BiH has left over 150,000 people. They replaced the homeland with Germany, Austria, Sweden and other countries.

Most people in 2017 left Posavina. Data are the Union for Sustainable Returns and Integration, an NGO that has a special consultative status at the UN Economic and Social Council. According to this data, nearly 11,000 people left Posavina alone this year.

But not all young people go to the "bread belly" outside the limits. Dario Loncarevic bought a ticket for Sarajevo. One way. In Italy, where this high school student was born, he left the entire family.

"We all who live here, those who live here like me, know what the situation is, I would not go into it at all, but it is most important that we do not give up, if we are you who leave and leave, which we say is not nothing can happen, then this will be a situation - worse and worse. Young people are crucial to staying here, as much as they can, "Lončarević says.

And this young man is already working on it. "Changing Factory" is the name of a project that he designed:

"We are trying to connect successful people from the non-governmental sector, institutions, politics, businesses, people who have succeeded in the finest ways in this country, we connect them with young people, create a network and make it a motivation for young people," Lončarević reveals.

But red light when it comes to emigration is burning for a long time. Those who go among the reasons cite the economic circumstances, the political crisis or the lack of perspective
