CROATIA IS CLOSER CULTURAL TO GERMANY THAN TO SERBIA

CROATIA IS CLOSER CULTURAL TO GERMANY THAN TO SERBIA

"Croatians and Serbs do not only have different historic characteristics: they also belong to different cultures . . . According to our tradition we are closely linked with central Europe and with Germany . . . . Croatia will have closer ties with Germany than with any other country." Franjo Tudjman

Reflection

Image of a building Srdjan noticed on the drive from Podgorica to Sarajevo; we were still in Montenegro at this point.

I recognized it from one of the architecture student group presentations the night before, outside the Karver bookstore.

It is an enormous structure, evidently never completed and abandoned. If you look at the broken windows closely, you can see reflections of the apartment buildings directly across the street.

If anyone knows anything more about this building (why and when it was built, the name of the town it is located in, etc.) it would be great if you could post it below.
