In Kosovo, Strahinja Andrić organizes meetings to gauge the concerns of people in his community.
“I simply wanted to understand priorities and needs, determine what our village lacks, and decide what to ask from the municipality.”
As a result of these meetings, Andrić learned that many of his peers shared concerns about infrastructure and budgeting, even though they had never voiced those concerns publicly. After organizing his peers into a cohort with the ability to speak as one, Andrić brought their suggestions for improving local infrastructure to his municipal government. His efforts were a great success, as shortly after hearing Andrić's testimony, his local government allotted the money to lay new pavement on roads in need of refurbishing.
