    EP 19: The Duality of Being a Refugee, Second World, and the Perseverance of the Balkan Soul
    Oct 20 2023
    Have you heard about the Second World? We're all familiar with the concepts of the Third World and the First World, but the Second World often remains in the shadows, as pointed out by my guest. In this episode, Sejko talks about his rich heritage, culture, and traditions of Bosnia and Herzegovina. You'll be captivated by his descriptions of the Balkan Spirit and his insights into the upbringing of refugees. I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation, and I'm sure you will too.
