Ms Mary Montague:

There is concern that we cannot expect future generations or our children to address some of the problems we have created without our putting our hands up and saying we made mistakes. How we tell the story of our past will dictate how our children see their future together. Integrated education and housing was introduced throughout the Balkans, including Bosnia and Croatia. People were also integrated in their workplaces, yet when Miloševi decided to light the taper of nationalism there, it blew those communities apart because the story that held within the families and the communities was the old story of division and nationalism, which was never allowed to be spoken about. As Ms Jones said, if we put the burden of that on to our children and they go into homes carrying the old story and the tacit culture we all grew up with, and the hidden attitude of not trusting people on the other side because they will never change, that will be difficult.
