Description
The action "United in Diversity" deem it extremely important to implement in Vukovar, which is a war affected area. Even though it has been past 20 years since the war, it is still a present feeling of hate and xenophobia. It is often it is a "shaken" tolerance and understanding, which was accomplished with hard work and still achieves.The cause of this is political division and unrest among the citizens, inciting of hate and unemployment.
