Belgrade, Serbia
I’ve been to the Belgrade car show today as you could tell from the pictures (click for full size). Sajam automobila Beograd looks better and better each year, with more and more premieres coming straight from Geneva car show. It’s funny how all the fancy cars found their buyers right
As the dust slowly begins to settle on the coruption scandal at the University of Kragujevac, another University and, in my opinion, also a social issue comes into focus. Again. After almost a decade long, relatively quiet period at Belgrade University, we are now witnessing the glorious & victorious resurrection
I thought it would be cool if i did several entries about my favourite Yugoslav/Sefbian/Balkan bands that you’ve never heard of. Let’s start with Nista ali Logopedi, a monthypythonesque punk/rock/folk/grind metal band from Sabac, Serbia. I remember buying Nista Ali Logopedi audio tape when i was still in primary school
Ok, back from the countryside and the idylic past, into the big dirty city, it’s present and what may be it’s future: here’s a great video-guide through Belgrade by Bruce Sterling. For those of you that maybe don’t know who Bruce is, he is the guy that popularized the term

Since the Japanese reenactors mystery is resolved, let’s get to merrier subjects. Ok, so the Iron Maiden concert was talk of the town these days: Dragan says he had a great time, despite the sound at Sajam and the organization of the concert was awful. Dinke had a good time
Update: Neretva river and Japan Probe helped solve the mystery of the Japanese Croats and Serbs (and UNPROFOR). Way to go! Click the links for even more pictures. Apparently the game was called “The Battle for Mostar”? Everytime i see a historical reenactment i wonder who are all these people
For those of you who don’t know, Stormfront is a forum that attracts a great number of neo-nazis, racists and ‘white nationalists’. Being that it is the biggest forum of that kind, it has a great number of members from these areas, and it is mysterious (and sad) that Serbia
Then we have Kurir – the tabloid with the biggest circulation in Serbia, and with securitatea-style immunity that allows them to write about whatever they want without any fear of having to pay for it in court. Apparently Kurir has a team of very internet-keen reporters that thrive on stories
