The First #RepairCafé in #BosniaAndHerzegovina

12 March 2026

"The first Repair Café has opened in #Bosnia and #Herzegovina! Anida and Nerman, the initiators of #RepairCaféMostar, are giving this region a sustainable boost. 'We want to remove the barriers caused by fear and a lack of resources,' they said.

"Around Christmas last year, we received the happy news that we could welcome Repair Café Mostar: the first Repair Café in the #WesternBalkans. Anida Čmanjčanin and Nerman Turkić, the initiators, enthusiastically report on the grand opening and their intentions for the future.

Tradition and innovation go hand in hand!

"Thanks to support from the Federal Ministry of Education and Science and Repair Café International, the initiative kicked off with a festive launch. A workshop marathon attracted over 45 participants, including primary and secondary school pupils, as well as university students. Under the guidance of local experts, they learned various repair skills. These included #BicycleMaintenance, repairing #HouseholdAppliances, #textile #upcycling and #3DPrinting to replace broken plastic parts."

I demand an explanation from #Serbia how it is possible that Milosevic's #GreaterSerbia and genocide propagandist #Vucic is still in power.

It probably explains what the other countries in the #WesternBalkans are doing after the US under Trump is no longer a credible guarantor of peace in Europe.
