Project Work in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina

In the early 1990s, with the beginning of violent conflicts in former Yugoslavia, the Threshold Foundation started supporting peace work in the successor states of Yugoslavia. The foundation supported refugees from Bosnia seeking asylum in Bremen. Furthermore, it supported local people and organizations in former Yugoslavia promoting a peaceful living for all communities and ethnic groups.

Many years after the war the situation remains tense in former Yugoslavia – conflicts between different ethnic and religious groups still exist and the social situation is precarious in some regions. Therefore, the Threshold Foundation continues to support peace work and social projects in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina – there is a lot to be done in order to reconcile those people who were once neighbours so that they may finally live together peacefully and in dignity.
