Participants of volunteer work actions from former Yugoslavia gathered in Breza over the weekend

Around one hundred participants of volunteer work actions, who built infrastructure in former Yugoslavia after World War II, gathered in Breza over the weekend. They said that in this way they want to maintain the spirit of community among the peoples of the former Yugoslavia, writes Patria.

Participants of these actions traveled to Breza from all over Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Croatia, Macedonia, and Slovenia.

Thousands of volunteers helped build railways, roads, tunnels, and bridges after Yugoslavia emerged devastated from the war. This helped the country recover very quickly and its economy to start progressing.

Commander of the Breza brigade, Arif Sirotanović, said that former participants of volunteer work actions have been gathering in Breza for the fourth year. They will continue to do so, writes Patria.
