I am very disappointed with the whole set of editorials you posted here in regards to Belgrade (which is indeed is the place I live).
It seemed to me that you had a lot of prejudice towards Belgrade, Serbia, due to the recent history of Balcans, so that instead of doing some investigating journalism, you spent more time in Belgrade trying to justify the negative view on it you had even before arriving.
Downtown Belgrade is not like any other European city, not as pretty probably, but when making a one page editorial on it, putting a photo of the poles supporting 15th century fortress walls seems a little bit inconsistent.
Disregard the city, parks, hotels, buildings... let's talk about the "incident" as you called it where "broadcast outlet was bombed and a manger at the station had some knowledge this would happen but did not tell the reporters"... You expressed your support for other journalists urging Mr Tadic (President of Serbia) to arrest the ones who had endagered lives of reporters during the previous periods (which is for sure one of the priorities of Mr. Tadic, as him and the people sharing his beliefs were indeed the ones who were targetted by the same people as the mentioned reporters). When trying to do so, asking justice from the guy who wants it as much as you do, don't you feel it is your responsibility to have the same approach towards any similar situation which occured - such as the mentioned incident. Following the same criteria, it would be nice to receive your support for trying to find the ones responsible for the deaths of the 17 people in that "incident". Unlike the situations where you ask justice from Tadic, where the executors are unknown or at least there are no real evidence of who had done it, in the case of "incident" it is clear. Just to remind you, the incident dates back to May 1999, when the Serbian TV building (in downtown Belgrade) was bombed, by the direct and unhidden order of NATO commanders. 17 people, most of them technicians and journalists, died! The manager of TV was found to had known about the order of NATO to bomb the building, but he failed to evacuate the building keeping the work order in place. He was sentenced to 10 years for its deed. NATO commanders were said, by International Criminal Justice, to be out of its scope, is that an issue of Journalism in Balkans or it is beyond Journalism in any sense.
As my friend once said, it is not the problem when a journalist starts writing crap, the problem starts when he begins believing what he just wrote.
Please, drop you stereotypes and come back to Serbia again.
