The Lord of Fire and his minions

"We taught love to fire, so that our earth no longer burns". It is a verse by Vasko Popa, one of our greatest poets, who was born in the village of Grebenac, on the edge of Deliblatska peščara, in one of the settlements that were directly threatened by the fire. Despite the superhuman efforts of the firefighters, volunteers and locals, despite the help sent by students and citizens who had nothing else to do, despite appeals to request foreign help earlier, the forest fire in Pesko completely got out of control this summer and caused damage that will take decades to repair. Someone could conclude that Pesak u flame is a parable of today's Serbia's solidarity citizens and students who are ruled by a malignant regime that is not worthy to protect ecosystems such as Peščara, to preserve our natural treasures, our land
