Many Majevicans are expatriates. They often visit their native place. Many of them invest and initiate projects there. Once retired, they often return to their old address, their patrimony.<\/p>\n
Majevicans invest the experience gained and money earned in the diaspora in mini production facilities in their native place.<\/p>\n
Vaso Vasi\u0107 has a private company in the United Arab Emirates, and an alpine goat farm in Lipovice, not far from Lopare. He employs some ten locals, and plans a cheese factory starting from the next year.<\/p>\n
- Your 300 or 350 goats give you another 150 female kids the following year. Our plan is practically to gift to the people willing to operate as mini-farms selling us the milk, so that we might be perhaps the biggest goat cheese producers in BiH - says Vasi\u0107.<\/p>\n
Since 2010, the Association of Majevicans in Switzerland has been implementing various projects. According to them, this well-organized country is their current home, but their heart is in the Republic of Srpska and on the slopes of Majevica.<\/p>\n
- They have two or three companies each here, while also working in Switzerland. All they produce is assembled here - said Ilija Jovi\u0107, vice president of the Association of Majevicans in Switzerland.<\/p>\n
- We are grateful to Switzerland, which has taken in a large number of our people, but simply we all try to come here to invest, to develop - added Vasilije Obrenovi\u0107.<\/p>\n
Labor force has been migrating from this area to the wide world for more than half a century. During that time, according to them, at least 26,000 people have left for foreign countries and returned.<\/p>\n
