Bosnia. Some hundred metres away from the squat I saw some men crouching next to a small fire. I went to them and they instantly invited me to sit with them. One prepared a „chair“ for me with some round trash-thing they had found around and put something like a rag over it, with a lot of loving effort. They had just finished cooking and invited me to come to their little shed which they could use for some time from a „nice muslim man“. „Eat, eat.“, they told me, handing over some of the bred to take out the eggy-tomatoey food they had prepared in a pan on the fire.
