Behija Hamzić











Behija was born in Pljeulju, Montenegro in 1954. She finished elementary school in Montenegro and in 1969 moved with her family to Sarajevo. In 1979 she married and moved to Bijeljina, a town in Northeastern Bosnia, where she lived until 1994.

In 1994, Behija and her family were forced to relocate to Tuzla as internally displaced persons. After the war, Behija remained in Tuzla, where she still lives today.

Behija is extremely creative and makes sure her work is done in an impeccable and swift manner. She lives with her daughter and husband in Tuzla. She is able to read coffee grind fortunes and often entertains the other ladies at BOSFAM with this skill.
