My personal story of fleeing the plague of corruption and bureaucracy in the post-Yugoslavia era.
What do you do when you grow old enough one day to realize that the society you were brought up in runs on deep institutionalized corruption? What do you do when the realization of your own dreams is dependent upon throwing your own moral principles out the window and playing in that same unethical game?
My story begins back in the Summer of 2005, just after I had completed a nine-year education in the United States and returned home in my native Bosnia and Herzegovina. Armed with two science degrees and four years of work experience, I was eager to be back at home, to look for opportunities and to begin changing the world around me.
Šta da radite kada jednog dana porastete dovoljno da shvatite da društvo u kojem ste odgajani funkcioniše na sistemu duboko institucionalizovane korupcije, i kada vam postane jasno da ostvarenje vaših životnih snova zavisi o odbacivanju vaših u djetinjstvu izgrađenih moralnih principa i igranju u toj istoj nemoralnoj igri?

Irish socialist politician Clare Daly told the Irish Parliament Obama is a “war criminal” and “hypocrite of the century” for his remarks concerning the Northern Ireland peace process while supporting al-Qaeda in Syria and conducting a drone program responsible for killing thousands, including innocent women and children.
Irska političarka Clare Daly rekla je u Irskom parlamentu da je Obama "ratni zločinac" i "licemjer stoljeća" po svojim primjedbama o mirovnom procesu u Sjevernoj Irskoj, dok u isto vrijeme podržava Al Kaidu u Siriji i sprovođenje programa ubijanja bespilotnim letjelicama, odgovornim za ubistva na hiljade ljudi, uključujući nevinih žena i djece.
