"To advance more in the aspect of coexistence, we feel that it is very important to unify schools; instead of having them be divided based on ethnicity, let’s divide them based on education fields and study levels."
"We have businesses in Kamenica which never have issues with employees, and have had the same employees for decades. But when people are asked to work for 12 hours, six days a week, naturally they won’t cope."
