It is an invitation for people to join together from Brussels to Istanbul, from the capital of Europe, along fracture lines in the Balkans, to the gates of the East.

A retired catholic priest, a social worker and a philosopher were among the diverse participants of this peace walk. They are planning to be in Istanbul on October 16th where Rosen Dimov, URI Youth Ambassador from Bulgaria, will welcome them.
