	...Women must take responsibility! The responsibility starts with the people we voted for. It will be very difficult for women to fully participate in politics until the relation between business and politics breaks. The consequence of this relation is politics which does not deal with people's problems but with personal interests...Women should get involved in politics at local level first, within school boards, NGOs, local communities... in order to achieve better efficiency, women need to be better informed and to know about legal regulations....                      Susan Johanson, Supervisor of District Brčko
	...It is important not to forget that we are the nation which criticizes, but what can be changed? The idea is to be changed. We are mothers, of course, but we do not take advantage of our position even in our professional engagement- e.g. in educational process. Women's advantage is made of three aspects: thinking, feeling and acting, so the things should be approached with heart, head and actions. We should behave the best way we can... Nefiza Dautović, «Žene Ženama»
	...All you have to say about your life you must say it in politics. Politics needs new people, and all I have learned so far I have learned in roundtables of NGOs. My message is that you must have someone to trust to... Nada Tešanović, member of the Assembly of RS
