A couple of days ago, Serbian media station B92 ran a report on a Kursumlijan woman's business start-up. With absolutely no work experience, 70-year-old Dragica Milanovic came to the idea of using a skill she has known since she was little. She trained a group of 10 unemployed women, gave them newspaper hats and launched a house painting business. The business has been so successful that it even won the tender to paint the City Hall. The article cited the workers' content after years of life on welfare. One woman claims how she only got into house painting as a means of survival but would never give it up now. Others say the money is good - enough to support their children as well.
Dragica Milanovic's conquest of a young men's profession is inspiring. Kursimlija is one of the poorest municipalities in Southern Serbia, which itself is an empoverished region in a transitional country. Word about Danica's business has spread to other towns in the region and, acknowledging the difficult economic climate, Dragica is looking forward to expanding and hiring additional workers outside of Kursumlija.
Things are moving, but slowly. Another report by Glas Javnosti had an advertisement right below the article stating:
