The conference “Youth Against Violent Extremism” was held in Sarajevo on June 12, 2018, in the building of the Parliamentary Assembly of Bosnia-Herzegovina. The conference aims to create conditions for a more effective fight against violent extremism through the exchange of experiences of representatives of the youth sector, international organizations, government institutions and the media.
