Youth work actions were an integral part of socialist Yugoslavia. Through voluntary work thousands of young brigadiers contributed to the development of the country and actively helped to realize key infrastructure projects, such as highways, railways, bridges, tunnels, factories, residential buildings, schools, hospitals, parks, etc. One of such was Šamac-Sarajevo railway build in 1947 with the support of thousands of young leftist from Italy, Britain, Greece, France, Denmark, Sweden, Palestine, etc. In the 90’ war the railway was damaged, and the last train Šamac - Sarajevo drove in 2011. Today it is often used as a path to the promised future in Europe for people on the move.
