“Galicians and Serbs” is a story about the extraordinary fates of Poles whose destiny cast them onto Bosnian soil, where they lived between 1895 and 1946. There they established new homes, worked hard, enjoyed the beauty of nature and shared their fate with Orthodox Serbs, Muslim Bosniaks and Catholics from other regions of Europe. They longed greatly for their families and homeland, whose significance they had not previously appreciated. Our article tells how this work came into being Balkan Tea at the Second General Secondary School.
