Not suggesting you were mal-treated only because you are American, but it IS possible you may have encountered one Serb who did not appreciate Slick Willie bombing the ever-loving crap out her country, including the bridges across the Danube...Of the former Yugo countries, the Serbs especially should be our allies, not our targets...
Then again, you may just have been the unlucky person to fall within the sights of a local variety Barney Fife, duty struck cop...We have ‘em here in abundance as well...
Or it’s simply that tourism is down and that’s one of their revenue enhancement strategies...
Ain’t foreign travel fun?
We live 2 blocks from the former Yugoslav ministry of defense building, that is bombed out. It is amazing to live in a place that your country bombed. Our plan is to live 1 month in every major city in Europe. This is one of them. The bombing of Belgrade was to keep the Monica off the the TV screens in the US. That is what I hear here.
