Interview: Predrag Pega Popović
Yugoslavia was a big, serious country
In 1971, I shot a film with Aleksandar Đorđević, according to Duško Radović's script How two fools loved each other, with Dragan Nikolić and Milena Dravić. They played a couple in love who are constantly interrupted by the third - Gidra Bojanić. We shot one scene at night, at the Observatory on Zvezdara. Milena and Dragan came to the filming and announced that they got married that day at noon in the Municipality of Vračar. We made a scene, then celebrated late into the night

Interview: Dragan Markovina, historian
Yugoslavia was better.
"The former Mostar still exists - it lives on. There is also the former Sarajevo, and the former Belgrade - but as a minority energy. Which will not disappear. That is why it is impossible for the space to be 'cut' to the end and for everything to end the way the nationalists wish. That is why the nationalist spasm is coming. They would so much like that minority, that common cultural and social reflex to be gone - that it does not exist, that it does not survive - but they cannot fight against it. And that is, paradoxically, both our strength and our worst problem: we are a media and publicly influential minority, numerous enough to bother, but not strong enough to turn things around"

In the Kosovar myth, mutually incompatible values of heroic virtue and the ideal of martyrdom were found, due to the fact that echoes of real events penetrated into the church discourse, imposed themselves there, and undisclosed historical facts were found there.
