Ethnic kitchen in Blažuj temporary reception centre.

International organisations provide three meals a day to the beneficiaries of the Blažuj temporary reception centre in Sarajevo. However there is also a common space where people can cook their own, ethnic food. Balkan food is quite different from traditional Afghan, Pakistani, Indian, North African cuisine. This public kitchen is also a place where people congregate, spend time, drink tea and eat food they cook themselves.
