German media: Why is Bosnia going so bad?

The departure of young people from BiH is still the topic of writing the press in the German language. The portal ze.tt, the platform of the newspaper "Die Zeit", which aims to get closer to the young, published a text on this topic.

The author of the text, Eva Reisinger, states in the introduction that many "young people are leaving Bosnia and Herzegovina because they can not find a job in it." The one who stays hopes that the country will eventually find it. "

"When Europe is talking about a lost generation and mass unemployment among young people, we mean countries like Greece or Spain. However, in the Western Balkans, unemployment among young people and those who have completed college is a bitter reality. A large number of people renounce Bosnia and Herzegovina citizenship. Only in 2014 BiH citizenship was denied by 60,000 people. Many of them are young and well educated. According to the World Bank, 58 percent of the population between the ages of 15 and 24 is unemployed. BiH is not a member of the EU and does not have a billion euros available to it. That's why we read about it in Germany. "

"The crime of youth unemployment is the economic situation in the country. It is characterized by unemployment, corruption and nepotism. Much of this is present for the war. Complex structures and demanding procedures continue to create uncertain conditions for domestic and foreign investors. That is why the economy is recovering very slowly. "

"According to the results of the study by the independent research center Populari, these circumstances are only half the truth: The young people are also responsible for this kind of misery. The faculty ended with poor grades. Many young people do not have the right attitude and will to work in order to break into a difficult market environment. However, some young people are trying to change something in their own country. 'Maya Bahtijarevic and Johanna Jannsen recorded a movie titled' I Stay '.

Maya himself is a diaspora child. She was six years old when her parents had to leave BiH and flee to Germany because of the war. We wanted to make a positive film that war is not a topic. However, we quickly asserted that, just 25 years after the war, there is no BiH without a war, "Maja told ZeT.

"Maya is thinking of returning to Bosnia. `Shooting showed me how many young people have the legacy of their parents and how they affect the consequences of the war. From the story of the protagonist, I saw that children from Diaspora had quite different opportunities than those who remained in Bosnia. "

"If you pass through the Sarajevo streets, you have the impression that young generations can escape war trauma. During the SFF the city is blooming. However, the festival does not reflect the everyday reality, but it shows which potential is hiding in the city. In the past few years, the public image of Sarajevo has changed. Several hostels, bars and restaurants were opened. Generally, much is happening in the capital of BiH. Everything is more and more often referred to as 'European Jerusalem'.

"Many countries with very different ideas are interested in the direction of further development of BiH. The earth can be conceived as a woolen ball from which fibers are drawn from all sides and which becomes ever more complicated.

Turkey, especially since its leader, Erdogan, is investing heavily in the country of his friend in the Balkans. Also, the Gulf States, above all Saudi Arabia build mosques, universities and shopping centers. For many Arabs and Arabians, B & H is a place where Western culture and Islam are linked. That's why more and more Arab tourists are seeing on the streets of the capital and Mostar, the Deutsche Welle reports.
