It is a place >where one of the best Serbian movies (to my taste) was filmed, in 1967 - >"Happy Gypsies" was its name ( originally: "Skupljaci perja", which means >"Feather Collectors"), directed by late Aleksandar Petrovic. It was a while >before >the movies about Gypsies became "fashionable". The settlement >was much larger in the 60's, but in the early 70's the City Government >probably concluded that it is a bad propaganda for a town, and most of the >people who lived there were moved to a "solid" houses, and their original >settlement was destroyed. Still, past few decades, many of the Romany >people came back to the legendary "Little London", and built their humble >homes there. Just a few years ago, Gordana and I were helping the Italian >NGO "Razzismo Stop" to deliver the humanitarian aid there... >After the explosion, one woman was injured by a broken glass, and the >Pancevo's Mayor came to visit the place - I saw him on the local TV >report,and while he was showing the shrapnels found on site, you could >hear the laughter by the "Little London's" inhabitants. They were still >joking and posing in front of the camera, and one woman said: " Bombing >haven't done any harm to our house. We were lucky that we have just a nylon >sheets instead of glass windows!". I also recognized my school mate Sava >Novakov, who was quite close to the place where the bomb fell. Sava had a >career in boxing, he even won some medals in international competitions. In >recent years, he dropped boxing completely, and it was good to see him >still joking, even in this occasion... >I was thinking about that old song from the band called Azra: >"We, the Gypsies, are damned by a faith: >Every now and then >Somebody comes and threat us"... >See you tomorrow >Sasa DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.
