Aida Mandic
“The Dark Cloud
Is the homelessness you see that makes you question the setup
Is the annoying manner of those who don’t have an opinion and always say “Yup”
Is the refugee agency that only cares about stealing money
Is the Balkan mentality of shedding blood and mixing it with honey”
Aida Mandic, The Dark Cloud

Bekim Sejranović
“Jedini lijek protiv straha je činiti upravo one stvari kojih se najviše bojiš.”
Bekim Sejranović, Dnevnik jednog nomada
