About this listen

The podcast series “I Choose My Freedom” explores various aspects of social cohesion. The war of the 1990s divided the former Yugoslavia, resulting in the creation of seven smaller countries, with deep divisions not only between them but also within them — along ethnic, cultural, and religious lines. Bosnia and Herzegovina, which has always been multicultural, became a symbol of all possible divisions. Even here in Australia, many people of Balkan origin remain deeply divided, feeling safest within their own cultural communities. However, Australia is a multicultural country that, through its diversity, promotes tolerance, respect, and social cohesion. In this podcast, I would also like to highlight many inspiring examples of Bosnians and other peoples who, through marriage, friendship, collegiality, and business — in other words, through love and respect — are building bridges toward others and those who are different. - Serijal podcasta "Biram svoju slobodu" istražuje različite aspekte društvene kohezije. Rat 90-ih podijelio je bivšu Jugoslaviju, rezultirajući stvaranjem sedam manjih država, s dubokim podjelama ne samo među njima, već i unutar njih po etničkim, kulturnim i vjerskim linijama. Bosna i Hercegovina, koja je oduvijek bila multikulturalna, postala je simbol svih mogućih podjela. Čak i ovdje u Australiji, mnogi ljudi balkanskog porijekla ostaju duboko podijeljeni, osjećajući se najsigurnije unutar vlastite kulturne zajednice. Međutim, Australija je multikulturalna zemlja i kroz svoju raznolikost promoviše toleranciju, poštovanje i društvenu koheziju. U ovom podcastu željela/o bih također istaknuti mnoge inspirativne primjere Bosanaca i drugih naroda koji kroz brak, prijateljstvo, kolegijalnost i poslovanje – drugim riječima, kroz ljubav i poštovanje – grade mostove prema drugima i onima koji su drugačiji.Copyright 2025, Special Broadcasting Services Social Sciences

  • Love is miracle – Mirjana I Ante Krešo - Ljubav je čudo - Mirjana i Ante Krešo
    Oct 28 2025
    The married couple Mirjana and Ante Krešo, members of the Serbian and Croatian peoples from Bosnia and Herzegovina, shared with us their life story and their views on the challenges they have faced while living in Australia. From these broad-minded and open-hearted people, there was much to learn — about respecting others and those who are different, recognizing our shared humanity, engaging in intellectual exploration free of prejudice, and about the boundless love that fills their life together. A life that flows quietly like a river: clear, calm, and deep. - Serijal podcasta "Biram svoju slobodu" istražuje različite aspekte društvene kohezije.

    In the episode “Friendship is the Strongest Bridge”, we explore Bosnian and Australian multiculturalism through the example of a friendship between two Bosnians of Croatian and Bosniak heritage -musician Dragan Ačkar and graphic designer Husein Sohu Balić - whose friendship breaks down all prejudices. The cultural differences between them are virtually non-existent, as they are “Yugoslavs at heart.” Both are exceptionally talented, but their greatest gift is their friendship, which over time only strengthens and deepens. - Nastavljamo serijal podcasta pod nazivom "Biram svoju slobodu" koji istražuje različite aspekte društvene kohezije kroz razgovore s vama.
