Sabina Niksic
Sabina Niksic is a journalist from Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina, who has worked for the France Press Agency since 2001
Her previous experience includes working with Associated Press Television, RTV Bosnia and Herzegovina and BH Press News Agency. Sabina was also the producer of several documentaries.
Sabina researched the new generation of Bosnian Muslims who are identifying themselves with Islam. Some observers consider them to be a unique community of culturally European yet progressively Muslim people, providing a bridge between East and West, whilst others warn that they may be a ‘ticking time bomb’ – a community of young, newly religious people facing economic and political instability amidst foreign influences attempting to steer them towards radicalism.
Her investigation took her to Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Sandzak region of Serbia and to Austria.
Sabina's research was supervised by Srecko Latal, an editor from Bosnia and Herzegovina and a BIRN associate.
