Post-Conflict Research Center (PCRC) invites young people from Bosnia and Herzegovina to participate in the tenth Balkan Diskurs training and mentoring program for youth correspondents, which will be held from October 31 to November 4 in Vitez, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Ethno villages are guardians of national traditions built in the likeness of former Bosnian-Herzegovinian villages. They take you back to Bosnia a hundred years ago and present various historical aspects of life during that time, as well as untouched natural beauty. These villages are often complemented by modern amenities. They strengthen the local economy and serve as eco and ethno-tourism potentials. There are more than 25 of these villages in Bosnia and Herzegovina, each unique in its own way, but they all share a rich gastronomic offering. Visiting them gives the impression that time has stood still.

The media in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) depends on public, partisan and government funding. Meanwhile BiH journalists lack institutional protection, and therefore need an improvement in the media legislative framework. This is what research shows, conducted among 80 journalists from across Bosnia and Herzegovina, of various ages and genders, working in print and electronic, private and public media.
