Florina Mocanu, an amateur urban photographer from Romania, spent recently only one night in Belgrade. Only one night, but she was unexpectedly charmed by the city of Belgrade:

My experience in Belgrade was unexpected: the city was unexpectedly beautiful, the people were unexpectedly hospitable, the weather was unexpectedly cold and the alcohol (rakia) was unexpectedly strong… The city is full of life, with people on the streets at every hour of the night and you will feel safe because of that.

ABC News is reporting that two brown bears have been released into a special sanctuary after being held in a 20-square-meter cage for more than ten years to amuse visitors at a Kosovo Albanian restaurant. Kosovo’s law does not allow private ownership of wild animals. If it’s illegal, how did they keep the two brown bears on display for 10 years? Shameful, disgusting and cruel. And What kind of person goes to a restaurant where they keep bears for entertainment? Kosovo Albanians. Disgraceful. I’m glad they are free, disgusted that they were forced to live in such a small area.

That said, it never ends – Kosovo Albanians’s inhumanity towards other living creatures, inhumanity towards Kosovo Serbs. How realistic is it to think the Kosovo Serbs will be allowed to live in peace in a community of Serb municipalities cage under Albanian rule? Kosovo Albanians are cruel, they don’t respect laws, they don’t respect animals, and they don’t respect Kosovo Serbs.

This wonderful photograph by Irene Beckera that shows a tiny house in the middle of the Drina river near the town of Bajina Bašta, in the western Serbia, was highlighted by National Geographic as one of the best ‘Photos of the Day‘ for the month of August 2012. Today I came across this Youtube video, so you can now visit this fantastic Serbian tiny river house:

Doug Bandow, a former Special Assistant to President Ronald Reagan, wrote an excellent article over at the American Spectator explaining well why the European Union, Germany, NATO, and the United States were, and are still acting against the Serbs. In his article Doug Bandow points out that “The Balkans Wars may be over, but the European Union continues its biased attempt at geopolitical social engineering. As always, the principal victims are ethnic Serbs.”

Yes, that’s it. The principal victims of the EU (Germany in particular) and the US policies are the Serbs.

Well, Doug Bandow talks in his article about Bosnia:

Serb forces were brutal, but no side was innocent of atrocities. The West, however, preferred to see only Serbian crimes, intervening to impose the Dayton accords, which allowed ethnic Muslims and Croats in Bosnia to secede from Serb-dominated Yugoslavia, but required ethnic Serbs to remain in Muslim-dominated Bosnia.

And Bandow writes also about Croatia:

Allied policy toward Croatia was particularly grotesque. The West supported the anti-Semitic nationalist Franjo Tudjman, even training Croatian forces that conducted the largest campaign of ethnic cleansing — essentially wiping Serbs out of their historic homeland in Croatia’s Krajina region — until Kosovo. However, Washington and Brussels declined to criticize Zagreb for its atrocities.

Finally, Bandow writes about Kosovo:

Moreover, it is widely suspected that Berlin will insist on formal recognition of Kosovo by Serbia before agreeing to the latter’s entry. Serbs have unkindly tied Germany’s current policy to the Nazi occupation during World War II, when German forces cooperated with Croats to oppress Serbs… Reasonable border changes are the only means to ensure peace. Continuing to suppress the legitimate aspirations of ethnic Serbs throughout the Balkans risks renewed conflict.

Well, don’t just read these excerpts, read Doug Bandow’s article in full. It’s ‘Delivering Serbs to the Wolves.’ It’s well documented and true. The European Union and the United States were, and are still acting against the Serbs.

Kosovo je srce Srbije – Kosovo is the heart of Serbia

Carol Pucci, a Seattle-based travel writer, and the Travel Wise columnist for the Seattle Times, visited Belgrade a few days ago. She planned to stay only one day in Belgrade, but Carol Pucci liked Belgrade so much that she decided to stay an extra day. She wrote two blog posts talking about her trip to Belgrade. The first is “A warm welcome in Belgrade.” Here’s a short excerpt:

Belgrade is an art-filled city, full of young people, many English-speaking, studying at the university by day and filling up the cafes and bars on every street corner in the evening.

The second blog post talks about “Art, music, food and more in Belgrade” Well, sorta:

We’ve been surprised how much art and music we’ve found in Belgrade, mostly by wandering the streets and popping into free gallery exhibitions, churches and museums.

That’s it. Belgrade is a surprising city full of English-speaking and friendly people, with music everywhere and wonderful food.

Bosnian War
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Bosnian War, sometimes referred to as the War in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Bosnian Civil War, was an international armed conflict that took place in Bosnia and Herzegovina between 1 March 1992 and 14 December 1995.

A 1995 report by the Central Intelligence Agency found that Bosnian Serb forces were responsible for 90% of the war crimes committed during the conflict. The most recent figures suggest that around 100,000 people were killed during the war. In addition, an estimated total of 20,000 to 50,000 women were raped.

Don’t trust that. It’s not true at all. The CIA report is biased and anti-Serb, and all the figures are fake. The Muslims and the Croats have been represented as the victims and the Serbs as the aggressor and the ‘bad guys’, but the ‘truth‘ is different.

Thanks to Roald Janson, a man from Norway, for having uploaded to Youtube this video showing the big difference between how the ‘bad’ Serbs were portrayed in the western media with fake numbers and lies, and what the truth about Bosnian war and Screbrenica is:

Marius and Joan, a British couple travelling around Europe in a motorhome, recently spent a few days in the Capital of Serbia, Belgrade. Marius and Joan founded Belgrade to be “a city full of life and sights to see“. In particular, they enjoyed Serbian food and Serbian hospitality:

We have not been to Serbia before, and because of the Balkan conflict after the break up of Yugoslavia, it has not always received a good press. How time can change things, because since our arrival a few days ago we have seen only good hospitality and service with a smile. Serbia is open for tourism!

Well, read the full story of Marius and Joan in Belgrade (with also some good pictures showing Belgrade). And yes, Serbia is open for tourism!
