Zdenko Juric

Zdenko Juric: He feels incredibly fortunate to be here, especially after he was almost swept into the bloody conflict of the Bosnian War, which tore that part of Europe asunder, according to The Chronicle Herald. The war started back home in early 1992 and at that time I had two young kids, who are adults now, at that time they went across the border to Croatia a few times, because luckily we were close to the border, they would go there back and forth to hide, he said. Eventually in July, 1992, they left home and I couldnt go with them because you had to stay with the military and become part of it and Zdenko Juric lives in Dartmouth, owns his own real estate business that serves much of the HRM and has a growing family. We came to Canada 15 years ago and its tough coming to a new place where nobody knows you, where the language is different, the culture is different, Juric said. But the people I ve met over those years have given us huge support and we appreciate that as a family and I myself as a business owner, its been just great. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
