In 2022, Jasmin filmed the project Months of the Siege, which included stories from Sarajevo citizens who had survived the longest siege in modern history, trying to survive on humanitarian aid and even collecting rainwater for drinking. Many lost close family members who were killed by shelling or sniper attacks on Sarajevo.
Their testimonies were put on the special website of BIRN BiH published on the 30th anniversary of the start of the siege.
In the same year, Jasmin received a UNICEF award for his contribution to children’s rights, for writing about the country’s non-compliance with judgments of the Constitutional Court, due to which many pupils in Bosnia spent another school year in a segregated educational system.
In 2023, together with his colleague, Nermina Kuloglija-Zolj, Jasmin researched disciplinary proceedings conducted against police officers in Bosnia. This revealed that a large number of these cases have lapsed under the statute of limitations, as well as light punishments imposed on police who violate the law.
He is currently engaged in the “Missing Children” project, which will include a video base with stories about 50 children who went missing during Bosnia’s war – a topic about which he has already published several reports.
Jasmin graduated in Journalism from the Faculty of Political Sciences at the University of Sarajevo.
Since 2009, he worked at the media outlets Source.ba and Television of Canton Sarajevo, where he spent 10 years working as a reporter before joining the BIRN BiH team.
Apart from journalism, he is interested in documentaries, cycling, reading, playing football and climbing mountains.
