Impressions of Belgrade and Serbia and maybe photos from an in-country trip by a long-term ex-pat.

Say what?
I'm afraid there's not much respect for public property here, as can be seen from this monument dating from 1961, when it honored the first conference of non-aligned countries. It was restored in 1989 for the ninth conference, but since then....
I don't understand why people do that. On second thought I remember writing something on a wall when I was about 15 yrs old. Even then I wouldn't have done it to a monument. It's a shame.
My position on graffiti is this...If the people who do it (who are most often extremely talented) went to art school instead of defacing the property of others, our world would be a more beautiful place. How sad.

Maybe young Novak from yesterday's post can appeal to the better nature of the folks who do this.
That's just sick! Disgusting, even. The people that do that are morons!

No excuse though.
