Wild horses

Voluntary action to protect from snow avalanche

25.11.2012. Restelica, Dragash
At an altitude of over 2,000m, the local people of the village Restelica on their own initiative, without the help of the state Kosovo, trying to protect the place where the tragedy had occurred in February this year.

In the February 11 snow avalanche killed ten people and one girl five years was found alive.
Because the terrain is very inaccessible, the only means of transportation of materials to scene of the accident are horses and building machines - dampers.

Promises that were given by the state, politicians and other people that will be very soon restored the accident site and will try to protect the accident site. But promises were not fulfilled, and the local people are very angry and are willing to take a physical fight with any man who is not from Restelica.

Me and my friend on the way to the scene were verbally attacked and we were not allowed to take photos.

It happened and Kosovo police and journalists from Prishtina. Upset and very angry local people do not allow anyone to take photographs of their work, with the explanation that journalists guilty as the state nothing is done until now.

The story and photos are posted on

Skopje, the city of lions and horses

The Macedonian government does not feel the crisis. Spending money on countless monuments set in Skopje, the capital of the Macedonia ( former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia ).  
Government thereby attempting to build the identity of any dispute between Greece and other countries in region.
In the center of a huge monument to Alexander the Great, whose production cost about 9 million euros. Maybe they are that 9 million to spend on a smarter way.
Skopje has become a zoo of stone, bronze animals and busts of famous historical figures beginning with Alexander until Mother Teresa.
