As Winter starts moving slowly into Spring, I am happy to announce that we are going to be getting back into a regular meetup schedule for all of you Belgrade Foreign Visitors – so read on for details of the next meetup!

Our resident maniacal Mexican returned from his homeland this week, back to Belgrade, so while the past few club meetups have been at the 3 Carrots pub, we are now going to be reverting (for the most part) back to our Tijuana Clubhouse!

WHEN: Thursday 25th February at 7.00pm.
WHERE: Sremska 9 , 2nd Floor, Tijana (see below for directions)

HOW TO GET THERE:

Address: Sremska 9 , 2nd Floor

It can be a little hard to find for first time visitors, however the best way to approach is from the HOTEL MOSKVA. Starting at the Moskva Fountain, if you walk down the street towards the JELEN PIVO umbrellas, you will eventually see, on your right, a set of stairs heading up to main street.

Entry to number 9 is between the stairs and the last shop next to Top Tours travel.)

If you get lost, you can call me (Zach) on 065-624-2097 and I will try to talk you in.

Typically, the club meetups will be every two weeks on Fridays, however this event is running on Thursday so as not to conflict with the Spandau Ballet concert at Belgrade Arena on Friday 26th Feb.  (If you hadn’t heard they were coming to Belgrade, the good news is that tickets are still available at www.tickets.rs from as little as 2000 dinars!)

These are my links for January 8th 2010 through February 21st 2010:

• Blic Online | Belgrade prepares offensive for rights of Serbs in Kosovo – ‘In diplomatic sense, struggle for Kosovo has three priorities. The first one is to stop further recognitions of unilaterally proclaimed independence. The second priority is to prevent that Kosovo is admitted to international organizations and the third one is drawing attention of the international community to violation of human rights of the Serbs in Kosovo, especially the crucial right of the freedom of movement’, Serbia Foreign Minister Vuk Jeremic says for ‘Blic’.
• BBC News – Christian Serbia maintains its faith in folklore – While Serbia is a deeply religious nation, it also happens to be steeped in superstition. The BBC's Mark Lowen finds that folklore, legends, old wives'; tales and stories of medieval military glory are part of daily life for many Serbians.
• The legal labyrinth of Kosovo | Ian Bancroft | Comment is free | guardian.co.uk – Great article by Ian Bancroft on the mess in Kosovo.
• Only Fools and Horses: a ‘triffic’ hit in Serbia | Television & radio | The Guardian – Unlikely as it may seem, Del Boy and the rest of the Trotters have achieved cult status in Serbia
• “Eastern Europe”: Wrongly labelled | The Economist – The economic downturn has made it harder to speak sensibly of a region called “eastern Europe”
