One of the most important links as it is necessary to fulfill the chain of tasks in the field of education is the mediator. The one assigned this very demanding role provides support to children, parents, and teachers. He cooperates, talks, actively influences, balances, and „jumps in“ when it is needed most.

In this demanding job, someone you can rely on is Sultan Beca from Berane. He is a facilitator in the ROMACTED programme for the Berane Municipality, and an associate in the field of social inclusion in education. At the Elementary School Radomir Mitrovic, he and his colleague Petrit Amurllahu take care of 140 children. The goal is that elementary school students stay in school, attend classes regularly, and continue their education. Beća lives in the settlement Riverside, which shares its name with the famous city of California. Besides the name, they have something else in common – population density. It's just that Riverside in Berane, unlike the one in America, doesn't have such good tempting conditions. We talked with Sultan about the opportunities for the RE community in Berane, the housing, the health field that needs special attention, and the current situation of the RE community in the field of education in the Riverside and Talum settlements.

How is he coping? This humble and dedicated young man, who does not stop doing good deeds, told us is the burden too heavy and what are the ways for RE children and adults to break free and show their full potential. The information he presented to us is worrying.
