ORC/HCA ACTIVITIES IN JANUARY 2019

Regional Task Force meeting

On January 31, 2019, a Regional Team meeting was held in Sarajevo on the topic of Understanding and Prevention of Anti-Western and Extreme Influence in the framework of the International Institute Western Balkans program.

Representative of the Youth Resource Center Tuzla and one of the panelists was Slobodan Blagovčanin.

For two years now, the Institute has implemented a regional program that focuses on combating violent extremism and malignant foreign influence.

Within the above program, IRI has formed a Task Force group that brings together

18 members (parliamentarians, representatives of civil society, academia and media) from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Serbia and Macedonia with the aim of informing and exchanging experiences regarding the fight against violent extremism and foreign influence in the Western Balkans. Regional meetings of the group like this are held every two to three months and are closed to the public.

Advisory meeting for the event "Selection of athletes from the City of Tuzla"

On January 25th, in the Youth Center, at the invitation of the Youth Council of the City of Tuzla, an advisory meeting was held on which besides the host was attended by the representatives of the Sports Association of the City of Tuzla, the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport of the University of Tuzla, the Commission for Culture, Sports and Youth GV Tuzla, sports clubs from the City of Tuzla, non-governmental organizations, as well as prominent sports workers. The meeting discussed the position of youth and sports in the City of Tuzla, with a special emphasis on resolving the controversial provisions related to the manifestation of the City of Tuzla Sportsman. The meeting took place in an excellent atmosphere and a constructive exchange of views, and talks will continue in the coming period.

All representatives of sports clubs presented their problems. Karate clubs in 2020 enter the membership of the Olympic Games, but do not have the approval of the Committee. They hope to solve the problem at the Assembly and speed up the process to the Olympics. Karate clubs expressed their dissatisfaction with scoring, although they

won medals in 2015 at the World Olympic competition. The board will be informed of the scoring, which will solve the problem at the Assembly. Cyclists who are preparing for the whole year, regardless of weather conditions, have also been exposed to their problems, but they have never been included in any category for awarding recognition. The president of the Sports Association of the City of Tuzla has suggested that all members have a common interest, boost sports funding, and choose priorities for sports finance in the City of Tuzla. Her biggest discontent was the ignorance of young athletes about the Code of Conduct Code for the "Athlete of the year awards". She wrote and signed the Code of Conduct and Behavior Code. All members of the "Player of the Year" selection must respect him. She also expressed dissatisfaction that sports clubs must solve their problems among themselves, not publicly through the portals. Members of sports associations must all together fight for all clubs and that Bosnia and Herzegovina must have champions as they once were.

At the meeting, Nerma Ibrahimović, a member of the Youth Resource Center Tuzla, was present.

Citizens Against Terrorism - CAT During January we continued with our regular activities within the project "Citizens Against Terrorism - CAT". Our cats continued to delight the public on social media, and this month for all our companions we organized a new prize game.

If you still do not follow our cats - we invite you to do it on www.facebook.com/CATBiH

YOUTH WRITES:

Author: Slobodan Blagovčanin #Frontal Blog Challenge

Does BiH need NATO now? As citizens of BiH, we must double check the possibility and outcomes regarding entry of Bosnia and Herzegovina into NATO. It must be kept in mind that in our post-conflict society, deeply divided over the future of Bosnia and Herzegovina - our political leaders are not able to agree on less important integrations than NATO.

On one hand, we want a military neutrality looking up to Austria and Switzerland, while on the other

hand we want to become part of the Euro-Atlantic Military Alliance as soon as possible. Who is right and

what really brings us progress?

Nebojsa Radmanović, member of the party whose leader is currently presiding over the presidency, Mr.

Milorad Dodik, signed the MAP agreement in 2009, and in that way stated that it is crucial for BiH to

become a member of the NATO alliance. Today, this decision seems to be very confusing.

How in 2009, NATO was an option, and now 10 years later it is not an option. Although, in my opinion, it

is still a good question how it is possible that it took the leadership of the military alliance 9 years to

activate the aforementioned MAP.

As one of the participants in the conflicts in Bosnia and Herzegovina, they knew very well the

geopolitical structure of the population and the authorities. If there was an interest in BiH since 2009,

why is the membership not allowed yet or expedited at least? Our tiny military "contingent", changes

nothing in the military power of the forces, even if we send the whole of it.

Today, 24 years after the conflict in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the defects of the Dayton Accord are more

visible. We use it as a breakfast buffet - in translation, everyone takes what is good for him. So today,

polarization is clearly visible about what the Peace Accord is.

If we look at it as an agreement that has stopped the war and created the basis for further building a

shared coexistence - then certainly we should not have problems with membership in a military alliance.

But if we interpret the Dayton Peace Agreement as an act that stopped the war and became the basis



for the further dividing the former Yugoslavia, then there is no reason to become a member of the

NATO alliance.

Marketing has inserted it into our sub consciousness that the membership in the NATO alliance brings

peace and stability. This is certainly true, when it comes to countries that fear foreign enemies. But in

what way would the absence of war (I do not dare to declare the situation in BiH a peace) stabilize if we

become a member of the NATO alliance?

Even if everyone affirmatively looked at membership in 2009, today 10 years after that (by whose fault,

I'm not sure) from the media we can find out that a group of citizens of BiH who oppose to such a

decision was reactivated again.

What if we had in mind that Bosnia and Herzegovina, in order to maintain peace and stability, should

remain neutral? What if we realize that some citizens oppose membership in the Euro-Atlantic Alliance?

What if we realize that there are many problems in our country, which can only be solved by internal

dialogue, without pressure from the outside?

What if we ask NATO to let us solve the existential problems, to deal with ourselves alone, to agree on

what kind of Bosnia and Herzegovina we want and whether we want it at all? Then we will discuss our

military neutrality or membership. After all, we have only 10 000 soldiers, why are we important?

And me? I am for peace, stability and continuous progress of BiH, regardless of military alliance or

military neutrality. Although, who cares what I think.

YOUTH NETWORK'S IN BIH MEMBERS' ACTIVITIES

Association of High School Students in B&H

St. Mula Mustafe Bašeskije 7, 71000 Sarajevo Tel/fax: +387 33 205 850 E-mail: [email protected] Web: www.asubih.ba

We started the New Year in the right way! January was filled with many activities of local teams and some of the news that we are ready to share with everyone.

"ZOA" - Winter youth activism

The high school camp "ZOA" was held from 10 to 14 January in Breza, organized by the local team of Breza, the Association of High School Students in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The camp brought together 23 participants from various cities such as Živinice, Donji Vakuf, Visoko, Bihać, Velika Kladuša, Brčko, Bugojno and Kreševo, who had the opportunity to learn something new, socialize, but also enjoy the beauty of the mountain hut "Budoželje" in Breza.

The aim of the camp was to bring young people closer together and to promote youth activism, which is itself the goal of ASuBiH. During the camp participants participated in various workshops covering topics such as: Social Day, Youth Policy, Political Activism, Lobbying, and Political Literacy for Young People.

After the workshops, the participants, together with trainers, had an informal part of the camp, which was filled with various teambuilding games and icebreaking games.

Trainers at the camp were two members of the Steering Board, Arslan Arnautović and Bilal Softić, together with the president of the organization Matea Brkić.

"I think this camp has provided me with the opportunity to transfer the knowledge I gathered during the four years of work in the organization to people who are new to this world and who need to continue building our organization," said Arslan Arnautović, member of the Steering Board and trainer at this camp.



"On this occasion, we would like to thank all the companies that helped in the financing of this project, such as: Breza Municipality, Podravka, Perutnina Ptuj, Sarajevo Insurance, Butcher shop "Kristić", Butcher shop "Hodžić", Cafe bar "Adalya", Cafe "Željo", Cafe "Mimoza", Nahonal Gas, KOKA BH, Safir bookstore, Ninac bookstore, Palma bakery, "Nuhanović" store and Hair saloon "Naida". "ZOA" camp was successfully realized, and it gave us the motivation to also make it in the summer," Campaign Coordinator Arabella Lakić said.

ASuBiH announces an open call for submission of project proposals to be funded from the Social Day Fund 2018

The Association of High School Students in Bosnia and Herzegovina announces an open call for the submission of project proposals for high school students within the project "Social Day 2018". After ASuBiH realized its third "Social Day" on October 19, 2018, a project in which 1,565 high school students spent one day volunteering in companies, Social Day Fund was opened for supporting project ideas of high school students throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Each employer who was a partner in this project and provided the opportunity for high school students to spend one day in companies was obliged to pay the amount of daily allowance. The money that high school students earned that day formed the Social Day Fund for 2018. This program will finance projects targeting high school students, which will contribute to the development of local communities and the development of youth within those communities.

Before completing the Social Fund Application Form, pay attention to some of the basic criteria under which the Commission, in charge of selecting and supporting projects (consisting of 6 high school students from Bosnia and Herzegovina, of which 3 members of the Steering Board, 1 member of the ASuBiH Volunteer Group and 2 high school students who actively worked on the Social Day project), will choose successful project proposals.

Out of the Box 2

The local team Šamac, in cooperation with the local team Visoko, successfully implemented the project "Out of the Box 2", which was held in Visoko from 14th to 18th of January 2019.

The objectives of this project were already established a year ago, when the first part of this project was realized in Šamac. The participants of the first part of the project were members of the local team of Goražde, as well as the representatives of the Union of High School Students from Serbia, our partner organization. The project was based on solving problems that are intertwined among high

school students, which are not discussed much.

"Also, one of the goals was to incorporate our team into the organization because at that time, as a rather young team, we were insufficiently involved in the work of the organization. After the first part of this story, we really realized, as a team, the values that this organization provides, we understood them better and got the motivation to continue working towards the mission and vision of ASuBiH, "said Stevan Josipović, coordinator of the local team of Šamac.

During a five-day gathering in Visoko, they worked together on problems of homophobia in society, sexual education and education of high school students, and discussed the current problems of these two local teams. Trainers were two members of the Steering Board Ema Tutić and Arslan Arnatović, as well as the coordinator of the local team, Šamac, Stevan Josipović.

"The trip to Visoko helped me to get rid of the fear I had, and it was about leading monologues to a large number of people. I am grateful for the opportunity I got, I met great people and I had the opportunity to run the workshop for the first time. It really means a lot to me and I wanted to show every high school student what ASuBiH can do, "said Kristina Ignjatović, a member of the local team, Šamac.

All participants agreed on one thing: "Visoko will be remembered, because such a project provides an opportunity to show what we think and to connect with people of similar opinions and attitudes. We will definitely continue to build our teams and we believe that this was another stepping stone for LT Šamac and LT Visoko! "

D4D is a project by the Government of Switzerland and the Ministry of Human Rights and Refugees of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), in partnership with the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in BiH. The main goal of the project is to contribute to the improvement of socio-economic opportunities and perspectives for women and men in BiH, as well as to improve their quality of life through stronger cooperation with the diaspora. This goal will be achieved through three key results:

1. The Ministry of Human Rights and Refugees of BiH and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of BiH, in cooperation with government institutions at different levels, are using and further developing their instruments to actively connect, secure the exchange and engage members and organizations of the diaspora.

2. Local government units coordinate their development strategies with senior government-level strategic orientations on diaspora, provide better-quality diaspora services, and encourage initiatives that attract the knowledge and investments of diaspora to the local community.

3. Diaspora partners transfer knowledge and skills and realize joint ventures with stakeholders from the private sector in BiH, contributing to the creation of new jobs.

Within the results 3, support for the establishment of a financial mechanism for the territory of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FBiH) and the Brčko District (BD) of Bosnia and Herzegovina is foreseen, which would support the realization of diaspora investments and / or in cooperation with the diaspora. In this direction, an Investment Fund managed by the Development Bank of FBiH (hereinafter referred to as the FBiH RB) was established, in accordance with the valid regulations defining the operations of the RB FBiH. The investment fund will provide non-refundable funds in an open and transparent manner, based on clearly defined criteria for selecting investment project proposals under this Public Invitation. The Government of Switzerland provided funds for the realization of this invitation.
