BRIEFLY ABOUT ZENICA
It is not easy to describe Zenica. A city of laboratories in the land of eternal experiments. The overworked beauty of the landscape degraded by industry, which in exchange for beauty and health provided security of work and survival. It will be shown, however, that neither work nor survival is completely dependent on that industry. Because, even when its fires were extinguished, life continued, mercilessly and inexorably like fate. And it was okay to live without her.
Just like our ancestors did. A choice had to be made. Without a factory, or with it reduced to a real measure and the inexorable numbers of simple balance sheets that manage the scales of what is spent and what is earned. The factory has marked Zenica too much for them to
give it up. But at the same time, we should not have allowed it to obscure our horizon with its size and cloud the colorfulness of still unexplored possibilities. In other words, Zenica woke up from the dream in which she fell in the giant’s arms, but also from the dream from which the tight grip of that Goliath did not allow her to explore the big colorful world around her. Zenica is a city of moderate and pleasant proportions, neither too big to stifle closeness between people, nor too small to reduce the possibility of choice. Splashed by the waters of its three rivers, like an ever-washed girl, Zenica offers the pleasure of being, even when the unbearable heat burns elsewhere, the wind blows or the torrents begin to swell and carry everything before them. Zenica is also a city of safety. They took refuge from the wars in the safety of Zenica, here many people in trouble found refuge and started a new life. We are proud of that, because the civility of the community is reflected in the city, and our city has shown both humanity and civility in difficult times.
Before World War II, the city had 15,000 inhabitants, in the 1990s it had 145,000 inhabitants, and today it has about 130,000. In the structure of the population of Zenica, members of different nations, cultures, religions and customs connected by deep traditions of harmonious life are registered.
