In the time of uncertainty and turbulent changes brought by the modern age, which was additionally exacerbated by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, Tehnički Remont Bratunac (TRB) stands out as a good example of business practice in the Republic of Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
TRB, a company with a decades-long history and tradition in the national defence and security segment, has demonstrated exceptional stability but also flexibility when it comes to quick response in crisis situations, as well as adapting to changes. Abundant experience in managing complex systems and companies, as a testing ground for understanding the needs, problems and desires of people, has proven to be a decisive factor in success.
Since the company’s inception, its General Manager, Slaven Ristić, has been guided by the vision of creating a better and more promising future for residents in this area and not just the realization of the short-term goal of making a profit and running a clean business.
“The future depends on us, but when I say ‘us’, I mean individuals who will assume a clear role in the function of improving the community in which they live, like bees in a hive. I have always been asking myself and the people around me the following question: what can we do today to make our children live in a better world tomorrow? As a logical answer and sequence of activities, there was a need to become politically active, which I see as a form of civic responsibility in which we all, through our own engagement, should contribute towards creating a better ecosystem for all our compatriots.

Bosnia and Herzegovina is facing widespread emigration as one of the biggest problems in the country – people simply do not want to be held hostage to the current politics, which is the policy of pointing the finger and finding the culprits on the other side without a clearly defined vision and system that will lead both the citizens and state to prosperity. It is time to take responsibility for our town and community. Very few people understand is that life depends on us, our choices and that we build our future on our own… But in order to bring about significant changes, we need support and that we all rally around this goal. If we do not start dealing with politics, it will, unfortunately, deal with us.
New times need to bring both new people and a new approach to politics. Politics should be practised by people who are successful, accomplished, who have results to show and know how to achieve what they set out to do, not those who use politics to grab what they need and advance on the social ladder.”
