Nice chance to see a bit of Belgrade’s biggest and busiest pedestrian street on a sunny day: crew from NGO YIHR made an omage to a performance Frozen Grand Central made by a New York based group. This time with a slight political note – frozen Serbia after 11th of May – and as a part of a broader campaign, Vazni smo mi (“we matter”).
Sandra is demystifying Serbian design one post at a time. (via Global voices)
We all laughed at Keba when we read this news, but - who's got the last laugh now?
Besides great new site design, Pescanik now has a section in English.
Seems like Kostunica made it to at least one song - he always wanted to be rememberd in history though, so this is a good start.
Lots of great Belgrade street art on Transgresor's photo album. If you understand Serbian check out his great blog too.

This was more of a ripoff than “omage” (you probably meant homage, or hommage for the francophone-ically inclined out there).
In any event, the whole thing is excruciatingly pathetic neoliberal bullshit. Off-camera, these ghastly flunkies were probably instructed to put away their LDP-issued Cheda t-shirts for 10 minutes in order to create an appearance of impartiality in the video.
On an off note: Man, I wish I was the president of a Western-financed NGO in Belgrade. Forget the football, education, and customs mafia(s), this is the biggest racket in the country by a long shot.

Evil NGOs, evil neoliberals, manipulated & instructed liberal youth, yada-yada-yada… BOOORING!
