Exactly a month ago the thirty number of a guide for urban sleepers, whose publisher is Alternative Institute from Mostar, is being published.
People who don't leave in Bosnia and Herzegovina haven't had a chance to see it and read it (or maybe they have?) so I'm going to try to describe it as, on the next page, possible as it is. The leaf, the magazine (I don't know how to call it we just use the name Kolaps) offers on it's pages, by idea and conception of redaction (which make: Mehmed Begić, Marko Tomaš, Nedim Ćišić, Armin Voloder and Mili Krpo) a chance to young and unafirmated (qualified of course) writers to publish their prose and poetry and to get contacted with older and more famous writers who have behind themselves a lot of published works.
Kolaps within carries a spirit and philosophizing of urban environment, which is trying to represent today's every day and the reality of life, in the true light, which is... it must be confessed really preposterous. People who want to publish their work, which are making sense and aren't rassistic or national coulred, should answer to the address: alt_ins@hotmail.com.
The idea turned to be very good, because every day more and more people applying who want to publish in Kolas or just want to get him, read or distributes. (For now it ' s distributed from hand to hand).
People from the "Alternative Institute" and "Kolaps", maintained promotion wide across Bosnia and Herzegovina (in Banja Luka, Mostar, Sarajevo, Tuzla and there are also promotions planed, if "financial things" permit, Zagreb and Beograd).
Also in Kolaps there are people from all sides of our ex county (which is not the reason of existence of Kolaps, although today that is being especially emphasis for anything) and other countries of Europe.
The message that young people of Kolaps would like to send and extend among people who are reading it's not a message, it's just a special picture of letargion in which we are living, a picture in which you'll find yourself. or maybe you won't in general the target is to represent the truth with the help of art. At the end it should be told that first three numbers of Kolaps was financed by German organisation SHL (Schulen Helfen Leben) and Phare program, the Young Bridge also helped. Unfortunately they won't finance printing and other needed things, so that people who are able and want to help can apply the address written up.

P.S. The text is probably a little bit much subjective, but everybody who read Kolaps should make their own judgement.
