Serbia’s Crown Prince Hopes To Win Back The Throne
Serbia’s global image would improve, the political landscape would be cleaned up, and much-needed cash would be safe in the country’s coffers if Serbia would return a Karadjordjevic king to the throne. That is the opinion of Crown Prince Alexander II, as told to W!LD RooSTeR during an interview at Belgrade’s Royal Palace.
“I think that parliamentary monarchy is a great solution for Serbia,’ declared Crown Prince Alexander, who publicly favours a system of parliamentary monarchy. “The Prime Minister and his cabinet, along with the parliament, elected by the people in free and fair elections, would run the country.

Adulterers by Vida Ognjenović : A Book Review
Adulterers is not all that might be implied by the book’s title. The break up of a marriage is merely the starting point from which an emotional process of exploration can begin within this award-winning novel from leading Serbian dramatist, author and diplomat Vida Ognjenović.

Adulterers is released as part of the much-admired Serbian Prose in Translation series from Serbia’s Geopoetika publishing house.

Much has been said about the turbulent life of Amy Winehouse, who died at home on Saturday, 23 July, and a great deal of rumour about her tragic death is sure to surface in coming months. What should not be forgotten amid all this speculation is the incredible musical inheritance that has been bequeathed to us by a supremely talented and exceptional artist.

She appeared to be attracted to a whirl of heartache and exploration like a moth is drawn to a flame. In the end, that addiction to misadventure is likely to have killed her.
It’s Time For Serbia To Stand Up And Grasp The Nettle
An online search for Novak Djokovic spews out a seemingly endless stream of stories on how he has positively changed the image of Serbia and then, like Caesar to Rome, he brought thousands to the streets of Belgrade to celebrate his victorious homecoming.
Of course, it is true that many of these reports are riddled with hyperbole and over-the-top praise for the sportsman’s triumph. There have even been demands for the sanctification of the young tennis star.
While it is easy to pour scorn on the inflated enthusiasm of a number of these celebratory stories, there is legitimacy in their core message. What we all witnessed was a natural outpouring of national pride in the incredible success of a countryman.
