The recording of the first radio project in the Roma language to be broadcast by the public radio service of Bosnia-Herzegovina was completed at Media Plan Institute Sarajevo. The project is called Amaro Drom (Our way) and a group of 10 young men and women who underwent three-month training at Media Plan Institute worked on it.The project mentors were the Sarajevo journalists Ljiljana Zurovac and Amir Suzanj and the editor of the Roma program on Radio Nis (Serbia & Montenegro), Rasid Kurtic. The program is 55 minutes long and in it the young Roma talk about their life, education and employment problems, and the attitude of authorities and people from the majority group towards the largest ethnic minority in Bosnia-Herzegovina. The program was implemented with the financial support of the Swedish Helsinki Human Rights Committee.

Regular radio and TV programs in ethnic minority languages do not exist in Bosnia-Herzegovina, although radio and television stations in the public service are obliged by the law to produce them.

Sarajevo’s Media Plan Institute launched a several-year-long project of educating Roma to work for media and educating Roma associations in public relations with the aim of raising awareness of local authorities and the public at large with regard to finding faster solutions to Roma issues. This activity is implemented in the framework of Roma Decade, which started in Europe last year.

Project 'Media education of Roma in BiH' is supported by USAID Media / Chemonics, Council of Ministers of BiH, and Swedish Helsinki Human Rights Committee.
