Neighbours
ita eng bhsMilica and Silvana are neighbours. Milica is Serbian, Silvana is Croatian. They live in Krupa, a small village of about 50 inhabitants in the hinterland of Zadar. We are in the so-called Krajina, the region that in 1991 proclaimed itself a “republic” and was reconquered by Croatia in 1995, causing the exodus of over 200,000 Serbs. Today this area, far from Zagreb and partly depopulated, is among the poorest in the country.
People live mostly of agriculture, although tourism is starting to appear, especially along the rivers, blue and fresh. Milica and Silvana are both an exception and the norm in these parts. Milica used cohesion funds to start a small donkey breeding business. Silvana bought a house to rent to tourists, but in the end she decided to move to this corner of paradise herself. Friends for ten years, Milica and Silvana want to make things better in Krupa.
