Thank you WM RepublikaSrpska for sharing your report. Well done! I know that it is a lot of work creating a report, but I find it to be a great opportunity to reflect and learn. It is interesting for us other affiliates to understand more about what you do. From my perspective you seem to have a good mix of activities and I hope you will be able to scale even further in the years to come. I must also say that I am impressed by the large number of media mentions you've already managed to achieve.
