SERBIA IS FACING THE BIGGEST NATURAL DISASTER IN PAST 120 YEARS

Serbia is going through the worst floods ever recorded. The situation is much harder than can be imagined! Thousands of people are being evacuated, many of them are still waiting to be rescued.

Serbia is bracing for another flood wave from the Sava, swollen by the heaviest rains since records began 120 years ago.

Tens of thousands of people have been displaced and swaths of agricultural land devastated. Total number of victims hasn’t been announced yet.

The most critical situation is in the Sava, Kolubara, Mačva, Morava, Pomoravlje districts in western and central parts of the country.

The situation is the worst in the Belgrade municipality of Obrenovac. Police and army in helicopters are trying to prevent further damage, after the Kolubara river burst its banks and flooded 90 per cent of the town.

Serbia receives help from abroad but much more is needed, please publish those appeals at your news and help rescuing operations.

Running in the morning through the city (down what the germans call a fussgangerzone) and being amazed by all the grand empty old buildings that reminded me of my Berlin beginnings. Grafitti on buildings. Lovely broken walls with acne'd facades from decades of reverse engineering. Discovering that all the ships on the river were party boats and open till the morning. Sweating so much in one of the clubs, my phone got messed up. Losing phone in said club. Visiting belgrade police station to report a then stolen phone to a twenty-something cop with a doctor's lab coat, listening to Rammstein (loudly) while hacking out my report on a pre-electric typewriter that looked (and sounded) as if it was from some era before typewriters were invented.   Thinking of Naked Lunch. Thinking of Die-Hard. Listening to architects talk about porous facades. Thinking of old smart bombs. Imagining the flash and crunch of several floors of reinforced concrete collapsing in on themselves. Wondering why I'm the only interactive guy here. Why are there so many beautiful women in Belgrade? Why are there so many beautiful women in Belgrade?!
