eulex/vetevendosje/billboards
Recently, new billboard-posters (poorly done) flourished around the city, applauding the work Eulex has been doing for the past couple of months. As expected, Vetevendosje were quick to react and skew the billboard-posters with their (poorly done) graffiti/spray. But what happened was astonishing: Eulex printed billboards with vetevendosje/graffiti style words, making it look like Vetevendosje did it. Of course, Unmik and Vetevendosje have a history of such type of communication: Vetevendosje paints the wall (surrounding the main Eulex compound) with giant letters accusing UNMIK (previous administrators) // UNMIK re-paints the wall and invites children to draw nice things about it, so in effect they try to create a barrier for Vetevendosje with drawings that were made by these young children. Eulex and Vetevendosje continue this cat/mouse game of obscuring the communicated message, acting against each other - which is totally fine and exciting and fun. Here's what happened now:
Eulex-sponsored billboard-poster with Vetevendosje's graffiti mark on it // message obscured.
Contact#1: Eulex tries to use Vetevendosjes billboard-poster trademark, and at the same time, to block Vetevendosje from ruining the posters with their own messages.
Contact#2: Vetevendosje re-states it's message.
Although, I think that Vetevendosje should have been smarter and at least used another spray-paint color (green, black, blue), and not use the same color as the one written. {update}: vetevendosje seems to be tired and bored of this, and just cut to the chase: huge "X" mark, bold/black, across billboard-posters in city centers, completely ruining the Eulex ones. Excited.

Roni te na.
Last night was the 2nd time Ron played some good music at TE NA, the cozy wine bar. He started this thing of sharing/playing songs that he likes to a cafe-like crowd, which turns out to be well-receptive of the music he plays, encouraging him to play another night at the wine bar. But that's not the point anyway. It's also the second time that I've missed the event, but probably Ron's will be there again so that we have good times, which I think is a good idea.

1927-2009
was not quite familiar with this building, yet still cannot cope how can this happen to such a historic building that used to beautify our central city landscape. It was build during the Austro-Hungarian empire, in 1927, combining the Neo-Baroqu and Art Neoveau styles (that's what I've read). During the Second World War, it was named Hotel Scanderbeg, later being renamed to Hotel Union. This was no accident, considering that the municipality wanted to take down the building - because it stood as a reminder of the "old repressive times".
so sad we let this happen.
