Tatjana is 47 years old and works in social services and agriculture. She envisions a future Serbia filled with young children, characterized by eco-friendliness and happiness. ‘I see Serbia with lots of young children, as an eco-friendly and joyful country. I am a strong optimist, and I always believe that things can be improved.’
Tatjana considers the uniqueness of the Serbian people to be the most positive aspect. ‘I take great pride in the Serbian people; I believe we are truly unique. We possess resilience and the ability to find a way out of challenging situations, of which we’ve faced many. Serbia is a remarkable country, especially in terms of its natural beauty, which holds immense potential. I believe that we often underestimate the riches surrounding us, especially in our versatile people who can navigate through any crisis.’
One negative characteristic of Serbia is the restlessness of young people who seek opportunities elsewhere. ‘It pains me to see our youth, who believe they can find a brighter future in another country. They think life will be better elsewhere and that they can build something of their own. However, I believe that such pursuits are often temporary. When they leave, they start from scratch, lacking identity and not receiving the same level of respect they had here. Abroad, they would be strangers, whereas here is their home. If we could collectively work towards progress, Serbia would be a powerful nation. I regret the dissolution of Yugoslavia, as it embodied our strength, unity, and greatness, only to crumble later on.’
Tatjana is known for her directness. When faced with a problem, she adopts a bird’s-eye view to understand how things operate and how to make necessary corrections. She enjoys interacting with people, embracing the diversity that Serbia offers.
