  1. My problem is that I know that sentence (in Serbian) for so long, that I don’t know anymore what’s wrong with it. You know, you just get used to it. Sort of.

  4. I know this is an old post, but I only recently came across it - yeah, this used to bug me for years, it was on all the bottles, all the ads, all the trucks…!

    It finally got changed a couple of years ago. But I would love to find an original label with the logo on somewhere, for a talk I am doing soon about the use of the articles!

    If anyone has one, please get in touch at my above blog!

  5. C’est bien de rappeler qu’il y’a eu des massacres dans les balkans surtout que de nos jours avec les tonnes d’informations que les médias nous délivrent tous les jours on oublie des choses importantes qui se sont passées,nous aussi nous avons crée une association pour venir en aide aux enfants de Srebrenica: http://www.childrenofsrebrenica.googlepages.com/
