A Bosnian refugee’s path to Bundestag

Jasmina Hostert, born in Pašić in 1982, was seriously wounded, losing her arm at the beginning of the war in BiH.

She was then sent to Germany for treatment and is now an SPD lawmaker in the Bundestag.

Adis Ahmetović was born in Hanover after his parents left BiH for Germany because of the war.

Both have vowed to help BiH. “We need a new plan, a better plan than what Merkel has been doing for the last 16 years”, said Adis Ahmetović.

The SPD’s longtime parliamentarian, originally from Croatia, Josip Juratović, also got a new mandate. He has been an opponent to nationalist policies in BiH for years and has been advocating for stronger internal integration of the country.
