What was the topic of the discussion and how was organised?
Topics of discussion were: war crimes prosecutions in Bosnia, Serbia, Macedonia and Kosovo; transitional justice in Western Balkan; Initiative for REKOM; goals of reconciliation and how to achieve it. It was organised in form of Power Point Presentation and debate between lecturer and participants.
Explain the reaction of the participants on your speech.
Reactions were positive. I have achieved my goals: raised up interest of youth on subject of transitional justice, Initiative for REKOM, and importance of war crimes prosecutions. Participant expressed special interest for field of war crimes prosecutions in Bosnia.
Have you notice the impact of your lecture on the participants? Explain.
My personal opinion is that most of them were a bit shocked when I was speaking about crimes that were committed by members of Bosnian army. I am sure that most of them will apply for “Youth reconciliation ambassadors” project next year.
What were the questions posed by the participants and how did you react?
Questions were mainly related to Initiative for REKOM: importance of REKOM, what is going to be achieved by REKOM, and how REKOM can impact process of reconciliation. I reacted by giving correct and precise answers on questions. At the same time I tried to makemy answers as understandable as possible and simple as possible to their age.
