Swapping Kosovo for a pair of sneakers

A video of two young women looting during the riots in Belgrade has become a hit on YouTube.

"A persistent amateur cameraman followed the women as they loaded up with chocolates at a corner shop, came out giggling, then went after designer bags, shoes and clothes at Belgrade's swankiest stores in its vandalized main shopping street." (in reuters.com)

The Battle of Kosovo

The Battle of Gazimestan or Amselfeld was fought in 1389, Northwest from Priština, between the Serbs (or a Balkan coalition: see comment below; and Wikipedia, under "Army composition", footnote 6) and the Ottoman Empire. A memorial marks the site of Serbia’s greatest national shrine, Kosovo Polje, the Field of Blackbirds. The battle is celebrated on St Vitus' Day, June 28. Four months from now.
