Update on Georgian: So i learnt like 10 letters so far and i decided to kinda make sure I memorize them and not confuse them, plus I need some more practice in writing sooo I came up with this idea. I wrote down all letters I learnt I made up words from them in my native language and then I was writing this words in Georgian. It was fun 😅

Twenty years after the signature of the peace agreement that ended the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, resolving the thousands of cases of enforced disappearances still remains utopic while discrimination and a shameful lack of political will still block access to justice, truth and reparation for victims, said Amnesty International.

While the Dayton peace agreement, signed on 14 December 1995 in Paris, did in fact bring an end to the armed conflict that had killed more than 100,000 people since 1992, leaders in Bosnia and Herzegovina have since failed to show a full commitment to justice and reparation.

listen y’all Russian is a gorgeous language and I would never discourage anyone from learning but it’s also so important to learn other languages in the region (in addition). don’t just take the attitude of “well everyone speaks Russian so I won’t even bother” because that comes out of years of subjugation and Russification. So if you’re interested in Ukrainian, Georgian, Uzbek, etc. learn it! People are so appreciative when you put in the effort to learn their languages.
