A fence divides the schoolyard between Bosnian Muslims and Bosnian Croats in Travnik, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The schoolyard is also separated by ethnic groups. Here, neighbors used to shoot at each other two decades ago. The scars of the war are still visible in the country today, and are also present in people’s relationships. A Muslim, Amela, went to school in Travnik and grew up in this division. Contact between ethnic groups is discouraged, even during breaks. The Constitutional Court already declared the system of two schools under one roof unconstitutional in 2012, but it still exists in everyday life, even if no one wants to call it that today. But it is not only in school life that the distance between ethnic groups is evident, as even parents maintain the ethnic separation from neighbors. So it was always clear that Amela would marry a Muslim. Bosnian Muslims, Bosnian Croats and Bosnian Serbs live in this country. They say they live together, but in reality they live side by side. Because only a few will accept marriage with another ethnic group. #Documentary #DocumentaryDW #DW ــــ DW Documentary brings you information that goes beyond the headlines.
