Understanding 'Veze' in Bosnia - A Foreigner's Perspective
In this episode, I delve into the concept of 'Veze' – a critical social structure in Bosnia and Herzegovina based on connections and relationships.
I share my personal experiences as a foreigner navigating this system and reflect on how it contrasts with cultural norms from the United Kingdom.
From my early days running a media project in 1998 to my present life here, I discuss the integral role of connections in everyday Bosnian life and how it influences family, business, and even politics.
Hopefully it will give you an insight into this unique cultural aspect and how it has shaped my life in Bosnia over the past 22 years.
