The Air Medical Evac Team of the Serbian contingent, stationed in Kinshasa, Kongo, Africa, as part of the MONUC mission in that troubled country, has had the honor and the privilege to safeguard the famous Hollywood star George Clooney and Jane Hall, U.N. Assistant Secretary-General.
George Clooney is very popular in Serbia, not just for his acting and charm, but also because he has opposed the independence of the Serbian Province of Kosovo. Rumors say that Robert de Niro, Sharon Stone, Sean Connery and some others have also made the Serbian voice heard in Hollywood.

A march more than five blocks long went from Dag Hammarskjold Plaza, near the United Nations, through Times Square and past Madison Square Garden to protest the U.S. theft of Serbia’s Kosovo. Many New Yorkers and tourists watched with interest as the marchers went on their way to the St. Sava Serbian Orthodox Church on 25th Street near Broadway.
A popular serbian wedding song from Kosovo and Metohia. Although it is performed on festive occasions, the song begins with sad verses: “A dense fog has fallen… not a thing can be seen.” A large number of songs from Kosovo begin with the same verses. These words are a metaphor for the suffering and pain of the Kosovo Serbs in slavery under the Turks. Dense fog symbolizes the burden of life, under the pressure of which freedom cannot be glimpsed (”not a thing can be seen”). In the very next verse, like light shining through the darkness of slavery, the song places a tall tree in sight. Beneath it sits a tailor, sewing a wedding waistcoat upon which silver adornments shine like stars in the sky. These verses testify to the existence of faith, hope and joy even in slavery.
