The OSCE Mission to Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Bihać Chapter of BiH Interreligious Council organized a series of activities for young people to promote dialogue, good practice and reconciliation.

On 24 May 2022, young people, gathered around different religious communities, visited several religious sites: the Catholic Church of St. Anthony of Padua, the Orthodox Church of the Descent of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles and the Fethija Mosque.

Coming across various historic, cultural and religious topics initiated a vivid discussion with participants elaborating on value and importance of prejudice-free society and tolerance for all citizens regardless of their origin both locally and across the country. It was a unique opportunity to learn more about rich traditions and customs of the Krajina inhabitants.

We continue to support and promote positive examples of trust building and reconciliation.
