Angelina Jolie wants to support education and other projects to help young Bosnians and people return to homes they left during the war.
Haris Silajdzic, chairman of Bosnia’s three-member presidency, said after meeting the Hollywood actress that she asked about ideas for projects she could support and they both concluded that “the absolute priority is education”. The aim would be to turn Sarajevo into a regional centre of education, Mr Silajdzic said.
Ms Jolie visited Bosnia in April as UN refugee acency UNHCR’s ambassador and drew attention to the plight of 117,000 people who have not able to return to their homes even though the Bosnia war ended 15 years ago.
