A top official in Bosnia says Angelina Jolie is interested in supporting education and other projects to help young Bosnians and people who return to homes they left during the war.
Haris Silajdzic, chairman of Bosnia’s three-member Presidency, said after meeting the actress Sunday that she asked about ideas for projects she could support and they both concluded that “the absolute priority is education”.
The aim would be turn Sarajevo into a regional center of education, he said.
As UNHCR ambassador, Jolie visited Bosnia in April and drew attention to the plight of 117,000 people who haven’t able to return to their homes even though the Bosnia war ended 15 years ago.
Jolie was also inspecting filming locations as she plans to shoot a movie in Bosnia.
