Bravo, Belgrade! I'm so glad Eurovision is there, it'll give all the good people a good boost to keep trying. And look at those elections? I could've cried I was so happy to see the pro-European parties do so well despite everything going on. So bravo! :D It's a good Eurovision year!

Really good and joyously relaxed atmosphere in Belgrade. Some of the parties that took place in the last few days were quite something. The local media have given the event unprecedented coverage and I'm glad to see most foreign reporters falling in love with Belgrade and praising the organisation, many of them promising to come back soon. The host city seem to be pulling it off with grace and ease and a lot of friendships are being made. Good stuff.

That is not true, BBC and CNN said that Serbians are so unfriendly, cold, killers, totally bad and noone will survive their trip to Serbia.

Edin thinks the same.

Enjoy your visit to Serbia.
