Dijana Ceric od naših talijanskih prijatelja:
For some Italians who passed through the Office of LDA during these years Dijana has been an important figure. During Strani Vari she fed for several years the participants of the project cooking with them in the heat of July summers. This last summer, while she was busy with the same project, Dijana kindly accepted to participate to an interview for a small research about the history of Krivaja and the role of women. With willingness and kindness she welcomed us into her kitchen, ALD kitchen. Between a glance at the stove and one at the past, she told us her story as a woman and worker, the history of Krivaja before and after the war without mourning for the hard times and without romanticizing the more positive ones. In a simple and direct way, with the spontaneity of people who know they have to deal with many things at the same time, Dijana was an essential and interesting voice to better understand the history of Zavidovići, an important witness of local history.
Real history, after all, is made by normal and spontaneous people moving forward in their daily lives, just like Dijana moving between the stove and the past.
Za mnoge Italijane koji su ovih godina prošli kroz ured ALD Zavidovici, Dijana je bila važna ličnost. Tokom Strani Varija nekoliko godina je hranila učesnike projekta kuhajući s njima u vrućini julskih ljeta. Prošlog ljeta, dok je bila zauzeta istim projektom, Dijana je ljubazno prihvatila da učestvuje u intervjuu za malo istraživanje o historiji Krivaje i ulozi žene. Sa spremnošću i ljubaznošću nas je primila u svoju kuhinju, ALD kuhinju. Između pogleda na peć i pogleda u prošlost, ispričala nam je svoju priču kao žena i radnica, historiju Krivaje prije i poslije rata bez tugovanja za teškim vremenima i bez romantiziranja onih pozitivnijih. Na jednostavan i direktan način, uz spontanost ljudi koji znaju da se moraju baviti mnogim stvarima u isto vrijeme, Dijana je bila suštinski i zanimljiv glas za bolje razumijevanje historije Zavidovića, važnog svjedoka lokalne historije. Pravu historiju, uostalom, prave normalni i spontani ljudi koji se kreću naprijed u svakodnevnom životu, baš kao što se Dijana kreće između peći i prošlosti.
