Over 6,000 people participated in a Peace March through eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina, walking a 100-kilometer route that mirrors the path taken by thousands fleeing the Srebrenica massacre three decades prior. The event, held on the 30th anniversary of the genocide, drew a record crowd of survivors, children of victims, and international visitors, all united by a commitment to remember and prevent the crime from being forgotten. Participants shared stories of loss and endured difficult conditions, demonstrating a collective resistance to forgetting. One long-time participant recounted his harrowing escape in 1995, while others shared their own experiences of loss and resilience. The march was supported by numerous volunteers, and participants from diverse backgrounds showed profound solidarity, sharing resources and support despite the challenging journey.

MOST is co-funded by the European Union.

The MOST – Media Organisations for Stronger Transnational Journalism – project aims to drive innovation within the foreign reporting sector and strengthen the resilience of non-profit and independent media in their coverage of European issues. By bringing together six specialised non-profit media outlets and one human rights-focused organisation, the project will establish a collaborative platform for the exchange of knowledge, resources, and content among the participating partners and other media outlets focused on foreign reporting or European topics.

Building on a decades-long commitment to specialised and non-profit reporting, the initiative seeks to enhance the visibility of Southeast and Eastern Europe within the European public sphere, while reinforcing journalistic practices to combat misinformation and disinformation.

Coordinated by OBCT, the hub will promote the exchange of best practices in creative business models, news production, and distribution processes. Additionally, the project will explore the potential of AI and collaboration, encouraging peer-to-peer learning among partners and engaging with the wider community of specialised digital non-profit media.
