Never forget Srebrenica




750 newly identified victims from massive graves was burried last Sunday in Srebrenica (Bosna and Herzegovina), where fifteen years ago the biggest genocide in Europe since world war II took place. From 12th to 16th of July 1995 paramilitary troops of Bosnian Serbs leaded by Ratko Mladic killed over 8.000 Muslims protected by dutch UN soldiers. Fifteen years after the war relations between Muslims and Serbs in Bosna are still stained.

The Face of Belarus



Belarus - the last European dictatorship. Before coming here, I couldn't believe that I would find here even one hippie. Before coming here, Belarus had the face of its one and only sovereign - Aleksander Lukashenko.
But Belarussian hippies - yes, they exist! Being permanently watched by uniforms and plainclothes, they managed to find their own little zone of freedom.
