What is Balkan Sunflowers political position?
Our aims are to help the people of the region bring more of a sense of ‘normalcy’ to their lives. A person is a human, be they refugee (from this conflict or another), displaced person, host-family member, none of the above, Serb, Albanian, Kosovar, Macedonian, Roma, Vlach or any other label, freely-chosen or not. Balkan Sunflowers is not connected directly to any conviction or religion. There have been Balkan Sunflowers volunteers of the widest possible range of religious and other beliefs; and we have received donations from a Yoga foundation, from churches, a synagogue, an Islamic organization, and from other bodies with a religious or a political connection, but these grants were given with no strings attached to the philosophy of that group.
