Away from home a few days

So I'm away from home a few days, and I have trouble seeing on this computer, different operating system, I can't make things big easily, so pardon the lack of proper hyperlinks for a few days.

So Serbia is going to recognize Montenegro!

Airstrikes did stop ethnic cleansing but did not stop interethnic difficulties in Kosovo

And not Balkans related but interesting none the less.

About the TV...I could go to any R/S village and have Satallite TV as long as there is power.

I knew this one Serb who was an electronics wizz-kid! For as little as 500 Euro and an additional 10 Euro a month I had hundreds of stations. The 10 Euro was for a different computer chip ever month.

He somehow gets the "black-box" and then messes with some computer chip he made that inserts into the box and presto, instant TV with hundreds of stations.

This was over five years ago so I don't really know if he is there now. I don't see why not, though.

I think you were talking about Estavisti and the debate about Seseme Street airing in Kosovo in their language. Still a good idea in my opinion.

Actually I wasn't talking so much about the debate about Sesame Street as about the fact that many Serbian villages in Kosovo don't have ready access to TV. The situation in Kosovo is a lot different from BiH.
Incidentally nearly all Balkans countries have some sort of TV and Radio Tax, to support public stations, so your friend's skills must have been valued greatly!
