I koga još povedeš za tobom

You are the initiative!

And who else do you take with you?

The Initiative fights for the truth, justice, accountability, equality, freedom, democracy and peace. We encourage the process of dealing with the past, continuous co-operation of the states and people in the region, and we educate young people about the heritage of war.

Youth Leader

His ability to network, explain the challenges, and identify  effective solutions to enhance youth engagement in  promoting democracy and human rights were the main  qualities that brought together a group of young people,  first in Serbia and then in Kosovo, Bosnia, Croatia, and Montenegro 


 

Sonja Prostran

Thanks to the Initiative, I had the opportunity to talk to  the ordinary people about what war crimes trials were, how they took place in Serbia, what were the similarities and differences between trials before the courts in Serbia and trials before the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in The Hague. To actually travel with the Initiative not only throughout Serbia but the entire region of the former Yugoslavia and thus disseminate knowledge or information about how the legal system in Serbia worked. It was an amazing opportunity

YIHR helped me realize that there is a whole new planet of good, honest and brave people with civic values. As the Initiative grew, one by one, wonderful colleagues and human beings came into my life.

Sara Malići
Mentor

YIHR has strengthened my belief that I fight for a goal that affects change in the community’s life. I carry this with me wherever I go. It has taught me to face failures boldly. That  means learning to look at what’s happening with a clear head, not only in your own country but everywhere in the Region
