What motivated you (or your organization) to become involved in peace and conflict resolution?

I come from a country that is unfortunately described as "an area of constant tensions and possible inter-ethnic conflicts". It is Bosnia and Herzegovina, former symbol of inter religious, inter ethnic and international compassion, and modern wounded heart of democracy.
As a student and young activist who worked on several national and international peace-building, and conflict-resolution seminars and project, I would like to use this site to broaden both my personal, and professional, horizons, and to represent my country on its most desirable way: As a land of talented people, who can show a lot to the world.
