Historian from Belgrade Ljubinka Trgovčević emphasized at the solemn opening ceremony at the Bosniak Institute in Sarajevo last night the importance of the gathering and participation of young people from various parts of Europe.
She finds it is especially important to talk about the state that used to exist in Sarajevo.
"We are aware that this state is gone, but we should try and be good neighbors and respect each other. We understand each other, we have the same mentality, same habits," said Trgovčević, who was born in Sarajevo.
