November 2, 2021

National and University Library of Bosnia and Herzegovina — The National Library of Bosnia & Herzegovina was built in the Habsburg era (1891-1896). It safeguards literature, manuscripts and archival holdings of the Bosnian language.

The Bosnian language is still not sufficiently recognized as an important mother tongue in Austria. A linguist wants to change that.

From 2009 to 2015, Memic was editor-in-chief of the largest bilingual magazine in Austria: a German-Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian monthly KOSMO.
