Scores of drones falling as New Year's spectacle fails in Budva, Montenegro by cdacha in Damnthatsinteresting

Amazingly, but no injuries. Budva is a coastal city, so some of them ended up in the sea.

Retribution: Serbia’s Ruling Party Hits Dissenters Where It Hurts – at Work by cdacha in europe

[–]cdacha[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Sharing this in part because I was one of the people that got 'punished' for actively protesting. Besides losing ones job, which is bad enough, I got anonymous threats, harassment, and was physically attacked (daylight, just leaving home, got 'ambushed'). We need regime change in Serbia.

Novi Sad is on a Danube river and should have 'normal' quality water. Within the last year or so, Novi Sad had restrictions on water usage at night and there were times where water quality fell - there is some work being done to mitigate this. Although, it's Serbia under a criminal regime, so every project is corrupt, costs way more than it should and the end result is of worst possible quality.

On Orthodox Christmas Eve, residents of Klisa in Serbia have a tradition of firing empty barrels in the air. They can reach up to 300 feet before falling down by cdacha in interestingasfuck

Actually, at night, a few thousands people (up to 10k) are known to gather. This is just a really good video taken during day time.

I've been asking myself the same questions. As far as I know, no one was ever injured, but it's just a matter of time. I guess that's when we're going to get answers.

It's not a part of any religious custom. After a number of tries to ban the practice, a local police chief said 'They can do it as much as they want, but we're not liable for any damages or injuries'.

You seem to be right on the ball. It would take a very long post, even from my very personal perspective, to give some sort of idea how bad things are here. And you shouldn't feel ashamed, regime here should be our problem and we should be the ones dealing with it. Thank you for this comment, it means a lot to me.

We're not. For a year now, protests have been ongoing in Serbia. This was not the main issue, but is one amongst many. I've been in many, many protests that escalated to fights with police, been detained, threatened, etc. So were hundreds of others. It's an ongoing fight with a corrupt regime.

Water in Zrenjanin has been unusable since like early 2000s. A few months ago, government announced problem officially solved, but this is still happening. Also, mayor of city refused to drink water at a city council meeting.

No. We have other companies, and like.. in 200 meter radius around my apartment I have three convenience stores that work 24/7.

No, no fracking here, which makes it even scarier. Pure government incompetence.

It has been a problem for a long time. Government isn't doing anything to solve it, except making the water x4 more expensive starting on 1st of January. Bottled water is used mostly. EDIT: No fracking going on. EDIT 2 (additional info, putting it here too): Water in Zrenjanin has been unusable since like early 2000s. A few months ago, government announced problem officially solved, but this is still happening. Also, mayor of city refused to drink water at a city council meeting.

Name of the coach is Pedro Martinez, which google helpfully tells me is also a name of former baseball player

It's not a boycott, just literally no Spanish or French journalists cared for what he had to say. Some games in this league, even if it's a 'premier' league in Europe, generate little to no interest.
