Issues like stereotypes, how to survive – economic crisis, media, generations of 1971 and 1991 across the region and the great powers and us are topics for this initial set of 5 debates hosted by the members of EFB Community Network with 2 prominent journalists from the region on Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian language.
TV debates that are filming throughout March and April, will be presented on regional TV broadcasters:TV Vijesti-Podgorica, RT RS Banja Luka, BH TV- Sarajevo, ALSAT-M- Skopje, Kapital Network- Zagreb, Studio B-Belgrade and RT Vranje.
