”Keep your mind in hell and do not despair”, Siluan of Athos taught us.
We did not despair, we made a new issue of the National Review. We congratulated Miša on ”Kapetan Miša” award. We discovered Celtic Belgrade on Karaburma. We were in Kosovo with the Serbian Literary Association. We peeked into the treasuries of the Čačak library ”Vladislav Petković Dis”. Attended the transfer of the remains of Djordje Stratimirović, a commander of the Serbian defense in the Revolution of 1848-1849, from Vienna to Sremski Karlovci. Remembered the famous professor Vojislav Djurić. Said farewell to Milovan Vitezović and Zoran Plavšić. Marked the centenary of Duško Radović’s birth. (...)
