Belgrade, Serbia

Another tourist ad for Serbia…

...technically speaking, of course. [Ad by Saatchi & Saatchi] What do you think? Personally I think it’s well done [also technically speaking] but I don’t get the point. Edit: User Ivic of Parapsihopatologija forums has come up with a response to this Saatchi ad: Update 2: Making of – explanation,

Red Star stadium “Marakana” to become – “Gazprom Arena”?
