National libraries are, as is reflected in the name, somehow always political. This is particularly evident in Southeast European countries, where national issues were and are contested. This discussion focuses on the National and University Library of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the National Library of Kosovo “Pjetër Bogdani”. Both were founded at the end of the Second World War and were severely affected in the Yugoslav wars of the 1990s. The post-war period brought numerous new challenges. What function do libraries fulfill today and what future prospects do they have? What is at stake when a national library has to close – as the Bosnian one had to do several times in recent years? How can libraries in these conflict-ridden states contribute to reconciliation and the strengthening of civil society?

CEEOLPress New Release

We are happy to announce the publication of The True Way Out by Patrik Banga, translated by Isabel Stainsby.

The time: 1990s. The place: Prague’s Žižkov district.
A neighbourhood where hopelessness, drugs, alcohol, and fights are the everyday normal. Growing up in the local Roma community means you are destined to be just another misfit. However, the story of journalist Patrik Banga is strikingly different. It captures his life’s journey from the Roma quarter to becoming a journalist in the Czech media. In a raw and very open style it depicts the reality of a teenage boy who encounters rejection, criminalization, racism, and police brutality at an early age. And he’s looking for a real way out.
