Following the breakup of the Yugoslav states, a series of war and ethnic conflicts raged through the former Yugoslavian states. War crimes and genocide were conducted in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the country hasn't recovered from the lives lost and the economic damage since.<\/p><p>Which brings me to my point: Racism and discrimination are still strong there. People are divided according to their ethnicity which is often synonymous with religion. This leaves the country divided into Bosnians (muslim), Serbians (orthodox) and Croats (catholics). The government is just as divided, resulting in high unemployment and bad economic decisions.<\/p><p>I am far from understanding the whole conflict but I can feel tension, resignation and loss of perspective in many people even though they are still trying their best.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"penci-ercol-50 penci-ercol-order-2 penci-sticky-ct    elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9e3528e\" data-id=\"9e3528e\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eaf9e15 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"eaf9e15\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">5 || what does it feel like to live in a muslim country?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6279b37 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6279b37\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-size: 14.6667px;\">51 per cent of the population in Bosnia and Herzegovina is Muslim, in Sarajevo the number is as high as 80 per cent.

If it's risky to travel we will of course stay in Sarajevo or limit our travels to Bosnia and Herzegovina.<\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"penci-section penci-disSticky penci-structure-10 elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b6881ff elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b6881ff\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"penci-ercol-100 penci-ercol-order-1 penci-sticky-ct    elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-37eeb14\" data-id=\"37eeb14\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f979aaf elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f979aaf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1536\" src=\"https:\/\/kathi-daniela.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/sarajevo-life-update-4-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-13751\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kathi-daniela.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/sarajevo-life-update-4-1.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/kathi-daniela.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/sarajevo-life-update-4-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kathi-daniela.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/sarajevo-life-update-4-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kathi-daniela.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/sarajevo-life-update-4-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kathi-daniela.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/sarajevo-life-update-4-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/kathi-daniela.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/sarajevo-life-update-4-1-1920x1440.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/kathi-daniela.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/sarajevo-life-update-4-1-1170x878.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/kathi-daniela.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/sarajevo-life-update-4-1-585x439.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"penci-section penci-disSticky penci-structure-10 elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-ea8c804 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ea8c804\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"penci-ercol-100 penci-ercol-order-1 penci-sticky-ct    elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-cc1baae\" data-id=\"cc1baae\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7a8c68b elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"7a8c68b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1536\" src=\"https:\/\/kathi-daniela.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/sarajevo-life-update-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-13695\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kathi-daniela.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/sarajevo-life-update-1.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/kathi-daniela.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/sarajevo-life-update-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kathi-daniela.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/sarajevo-life-update-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kathi-daniela.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/sarajevo-life-update-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kathi-daniela.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/sarajevo-life-update-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/kathi-daniela.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/sarajevo-life-update-1-1920x1440.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/kathi-daniela.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/sarajevo-life-update-1-1170x878.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/kathi-daniela.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/sarajevo-life-update-1-585x439.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How's it going in Bosnia and Herzegovina?
