There’s a fascinating article over at Kuriositas.com talking about a dinosaur known as Luna Park which can be seen in Southsea, a seaside resort located in England. The Dinosaur was originally made in Serbia:
Although Southsea is now home to Luna Park she was originally made in a village in Serbia [...]
Last week, Carolin Vesely wrote an interesting article over at The Globe and Mail, pointing out that the typical office fridge is teeming with so many germs that some studies have concluded you’d be better off storing your lunch in the staff washroom. It seems that it’s a big problem in Canada and in the [...]
A new feature film “Brasslands” by the meerkat media collective will showcase an ensemble cast of American band members and Guca villagers who each bring a unique human story to the larger story of the power of music to reach across political borders.

We’ve seen in the past how easily bogus stats from a biased industry can suddenly become “fact” as the Serbian press uses the numbers without questioning the assumptions or even noting the inherent bias in the numbers.

For the past ten years or so, we’ve been hearing all this hand-wringing about how Serbian Government was not cooperating fully with the Hague Tribunal. The latest example is in a recent John Boonstra post in the UN Dispatch blog. There is a big problem with the article. Boonstra tries to paint Serbia’s cooperation with the [...]
A whole bunch of folks are sending this one in, so let’s get it covered. B92 is running an article entitled “Djelic: More funds for science: Science Minister Bozidar Djelic says that no less than Eur 44,000 will be set aside for scientific research this year.” It’s pretty obvious that Eur 44.000 is almost a [...]
Serbian Deputy Prime Minister for EU integration, Bozidar Djelic, gave a speech, at the opening of the first EU information centre at the Svetozar Markovic university library, to a group of people supposedly calling on them to be open to the world, and, most importantly, learn to embrace the potential of the EU integration.
