Good Song.

When it comes to music, right now the Slavs have better music in melody, rhythm, and lyrics, than the anglos.

For the English subtitles:

Listening to that song, and looking at the world from the bottom of the world with my inexperienced view, I've always felt that the Balkans are more culturally akin to the Caucasus than the EU.

We are mixed. Geography brought us close. Spiritually, which is most important aspect of culture, we do not belong to EU and hopefully we never will - God forbid! EU is a spiritual desert. Who would want to belong there with their sane mind and provided they are free to choose?

Well said.

Sadly, leaders in both regions are often for sale, and thus, instead of being solid rocks, you sometimes become ping-pong balls.

Dear Alex,

thank you for mentioning humanitarian organization "Serbs for Serbs". Each donation to them is one step more to improve life condition of many families.

Dear Dragana,

thank you! I hope that it generated some donations after all :))) I think it is a good organization.

I'm looking forward to our next beer in Banja Luka soon ;)

The song is excellent! So emotional. It says so much without much words. But we all understand very well what it is about. That is why it's so likable.

Compared to the wasteland of American pop music, it is a gem.
