Well it's the beginning of March now, and I guess the excitement has died down somewhat. After that crazy night and a tense following weekend things have pretty much reverted back to the usual routine. There were still groups of drunken asskickers running around during the weekend breaking stuff, but nothing as destructive as those riots, which now are commonly accepted as having been knowingly permitted and even encouraged by the Serbian government. I recommend checking out the Belgrade Blog for a great analysis about all that, and for any other type of Belgrade related topics.
I myself just missed by about a minute (luckily so, I should imagine) a large group of about 20 singing and shouting drunkards that went down my own quiet street kicking cars and signs and stuff two days after the protest, but that was about it as far as action goes.
People are still seething and a quite morose about it all, and the grey rainy weather of late isn't helping anything. The usual cafe/nighttime casual chats (or my own classes, which probably isn't so professional but hey, it gets people talking...) with people still slip easily into bitter rants about the whole situation, but otherwise everyone seems to just be sitting back and watching what will happen. No one knows...
I guess I got the pics up ok but I still can't figure out how to place them on the page, so it looks kinda sloppy, but you take what you can get...
Until there's more updates to give...
Pozdrav

I imagine that being an American on the streets that night was a little unnerving? Good of you to take photos.
