[01:04:26:10]
When they tried to destroy Yugoslavia,
I made Yugoland then.
[01:04:29:17]
[01:04:30:06]
You can see it, this is the peace bridge
[01:04:33:02]
[01:04:33:23]
You can photograph the peace bridge, we
go across the peace bridge
[01:04:37:03]
[01:04:37:09]
Inside of Yugoslavia, we don't have no fights...
[01:04:40:05]
[01:04:40:05]
nine years, so far, you don't see anybody arguing
[01:04:43:14]
[01:04:44:06]
Everybody's happy.
[01:04:45:20]
[01:04:46:07]
You can see here, do you see any sad faces?
[01:04:49:11]
[01:04:50:01]
Yes, they are old, but they are happy.
[01:04:51:16]
[01:04:52:05]
Watch them, they are sing, they even pay
the music to play them.
[01:04:56:24]
[01:04:57:18]
And I give to them to enjoy.
[01:04:59:14]
[01:04:59:14]
like Maria Theresa
[01:05:01:10]
[01:05:02:02]
she was helping the people who
could need the help.
[01:05:05:04]
[01:05:05:06]
I do that here.

[01:05:25:00]
We brought so many...
[01:05:27:03]
[01:05:27:03]
truck load, then three bulldozers came
[01:05:29:24]
[01:05:29:24]
and pushed the ground up
[01:05:31:21]
[01:05:31:21]
and they was working here like ants
[01:05:34:11]
[01:05:34:11]
to make the Mount Triglav high.
[01:05:37:05]
[01:05:45:14]
I am very happy I lived in Tito's time.
[01:05:48:02]
[01:05:48:02]
It was my pleasure
[01:05:49:16]
[01:05:49:16]
to live in that time.
[01:05:50:19]
[01:05:51:02]
And it's pleasure to think about him
[01:05:53:03]
[01:05:53:13]
and a pleasure to cherish his work,
[01:05:55:12]
[01:05:55:12]
what he did for the poor people.
[01:05:57:00]
[01:05:58:00]
No man, so far, on the planet did that for
the working class
[01:06:02:12]

[01:06:40:07]
[01:06:40:11]
We began creating this together, and now,
every year, there's more and more people.
[01:06:47:17]
[01:06:49:05]
You can see the
[01:06:50:18]
[01:06:50:23]
one board where is now...
[01:06:52:17]
[01:06:52:23]
The picture is destroyed a little bit
[01:06:54:23]
[01:06:55:09]
because the cold weather...
[01:06:56:18]
[01:06:56:20]
uhh... breaks...
[01:06:58:05]
[01:06:58:09]
That's the funeral of Marshall Tito.
[01:07:00:04]
[01:07:00:12]
May 04, 1980, Tito died.
[01:07:03:12]
[01:07:03:14]
Yugoslavia complete was crying.
[01:07:06:15]
[01:07:06:21]
The whole world was sad.
[01:07:09:01]
[01:07:10:00]
Everybody came, from every country,
from this earth...
[01:07:13:05]
[01:07:13:12]
planet
[01:07:14:12]
[01:07:14:12]
to say to Tito goodbye.
[01:07:16:13]
[01:07:16:21]
Now you can recognize many of them
[01:07:19:02]
[01:07:19:02]
Yasser Arafat.
[01:07:21:08]
[01:07:21:19]
And now you have English King...
[01:07:24:14]
[01:07:27:00]
Yeah, crown prince.
Crown prince, that's what I know.
[01:07:29:18]
[01:07:29:22]
Now the Brezhnev,
[01:07:31:12]
[01:07:31:12]
Saddam Hussein,
[01:07:32:20]
[01:07:33:11]
and Hungarian president.
[01:07:38:07]
[01:07:44:06]
There is the English lady,
[01:07:45:11]
[01:07:46:02]
Margaret Thatcher.
[01:07:47:07]
[01:07:48:02]
Do you know any other funeral,
[01:07:50:07]
[01:07:50:07]
when Kennedy dies, how many people was there?
[01:07:52:18]
[01:07:53:07]
A few.
[01:07:54:06]
[01:07:56:17]
But not from the whole countries,
[01:07:59:02]
[01:07:59:06]
and they was the top people from
the leading countries.
[01:08:02:11]
[01:08:02:12]
They said to me when Tito dies
Yugoslavia will fall apart.
[01:08:05:03]
[01:08:05:04]
I say come on guys, you must be crazy.
[01:08:06:20]
[01:08:07:00]
We have great country.
Why should we fall apart?
[01:08:08:24]
[01:08:10:15]
Why does heaven should be falling apart
because everybody wish to be in heaven?
[01:08:14:12]
[01:08:14:20]
We had the heaven, why should we fall apart?
[01:08:16:19]
[01:08:17:14]
After the falling Yugoslavia apart
[01:08:19:18]
[01:08:19:21]
our people is very poor today.
[01:08:22:01]
[01:08:23:03]
We can thanks to America,
[01:08:25:04]
[01:08:25:07]
they made the hell in the heaven.
[01:08:27:20]
[01:08:28:17]
And I wish them...
[01:08:29:19]
[01:08:29:22]
Now, if you believe in God,
[01:08:31:14]
[01:08:32:10]
the God, what does God do to America today?
[01:08:35:13]
[01:08:36:06]
How many those twister you have?
[01:08:38:10]
[01:08:40:01]
Why the twister hits only in south of America?
[01:08:42:17]
[01:08:43:02]
Why doesn't it hit any other country in Europe?
[01:08:44:23]
[01:08:45:21]
Why?
[01:08:46:12]
[01:08:46:24]
You made God mad,
[01:08:49:02]
[01:08:49:03]
thanks to the rich people and the Capitalists.

In the 80s, musicians began using
electronic instruments, little by little
[01:10:55:13]
[01:10:56:03]
They composed those kind of melodies,
[01:10:58:08]
[01:10:58:08]
which were not taken from folklore
music, but resembled folk music
[01:11:05:06]
[01:11:05:14]
but were just some sort of pop melody...
[01:11:07:21]
[01:11:08:19]
And then they would add a singer, a young one,
[01:11:12:00]
[01:11:12:00]
pretty girls in short skirts
with large breasts...
[01:11:16:08]
[01:11:16:08]
that didn’t know how to sing, but they would
teach them how to do some “vocal decorations”
[01:11:22:19]
[01:11:22:22]
that resembled ones in folk music...
[01:11:24:04]
[01:11:24:17]
A combination of those elements succeeded
and attracted audience from the countryside
[01:11:31:21]
[01:11:32:06]
And once it began happening,
there was no stopping it.

Social problems have piled up,
[01:16:10:15]
[01:16:11:01]
in people, all over, everywhere you look...
[01:16:14:02]
[01:16:14:10]
Young people finish college and can't find work.
[01:16:17:00]
[01:16:17:00]
It’s all piled inside those young people
and it’s mostly them who are into that music.
[01:16:22:17]
[01:16:23:00]
That’s why they go crazy in the clubs.
When music starts, they are jumping on the tables...
[01:16:28:02]
[01:16:28:13]
The volume is up and they shake off their troubles.
[01:16:30:15]
[01:16:30:15]
It lasts until 4 or 5 am, and then they
sleep through the whole morning...
[01:16:35:13]
[01:16:35:22]
I just don’t know when they find
time to work or study...
[01:16:38:07]

[01:18:10:21]
I'm in love with him also.
[01:18:12:03]
[01:18:12:13]
(Oh, believe me, he's more in love with you
than you are with him.)
[01:18:14:15]

He reminds me of that guy
from "Mission Impossible."

does she know?"

"No she doesn't, no she doesn't,
only I know it."
[01:18:42:06]
[01:18:42:14]
"Girl for one night stand, you think.
I don't care"
[01:18:45:12]
[01:18:45:13]
"But you've still got my panties."
[01:18:49:00]

I think I just set it off, but I guess...
[01:19:16:21]
[01:19:17:15]
I guess maybe it's more of a
problem if you don't set it off.
[01:19:20:00]
[01:20:41:13]
Nobody does drugs here.
Nobody's in the bathroom doing drugs.
[01:20:45:01]
[01:20:45:01]
Everybody's just drinking.
It's fucking sickening
[01:20:48:06]
[01:20:48:06]
They've been drinking since they got here.
It's 4 in the morning,
[01:20:50:22]
[01:20:50:22]
Everybody's been drinking all day.
I've been drinking all day.
[01:20:54:02]
[01:20:54:02]
We've drank like a quart of brandy.
[01:20:56:24]

As you know, since June 1999,
international troops have been present.
[01:25:03:23]
[01:25:04:14]
The whole international community,
together with KFOR
[01:25:07:15]
[01:25:07:15]
either didn't want or wasn't able
to protect us from the Albanians.
[01:25:10:21]
[01:25:11:00]
In either case it was bad for us, so we
decided to protect ourselves however we could.
[01:25:14:15]
[01:25:14:19]
It wasn't a political organization,
or a military one.
[01:25:20:01]
[01:25:20:01]
It was just a group of people
that had only one goal,
[01:25:22:08]
[01:25:22:08]
to ensure that the ethnic cleansing that took
place in the South didn't happen here.
[01:25:25:11]
[01:25:33:15]
In 2000, the international community
[01:25:38:14]
[01:25:38:14]
banned the Bridgewatchers group.
[01:25:41:12]
[01:25:42:02]
We followed through and disbanded in 2003.
We told KFOR and UNMIC that we trusted them
[01:25:48:16]
[01:25:48:16]
to protect us from being
attacked by aggressive Albanians.

[01:29:20:20]
and we didn't know who was them.
[01:29:23:01]
[01:29:23:09]
You cannot see them in the uniforms, but they are...
[01:29:26:01]
[01:29:27:12]

[01:29:31:03]

[01:29:32:16]

the Kosovo government is
not making nothing to stop that.

[01:29:44:19]
[01:29:45:24]
I'll go with him, but...
[01:29:47:20]
[01:29:47:20]
alone, I cannot go.
[01:29:49:19]
[01:29:50:12]
Cause I'm afraid someone's going to kill me.
[01:29:53:03]

Everything is so chaotic in the North.
[01:30:01:11]
[01:30:01:14]
There’s not enough presence of Kosovo police.

I mean, what I’ve heard from my
Serb colleagues or from my Serb friends,
[01:30:10:03]
[01:30:10:03]
they said you can kill a person in
the North, and you don’t go to jail.
[01:30:13:14]
[01:30:13:14]
So just imagine, what’s the rule of law there?
[01:30:17:00]
[01:30:17:00]
There’s nothing there.
[01:30:17:24]
[01:30:17:24]
I think it's because of the mafia
and the organized crime there.
[01:30:21:14]
[01:30:21:15]
Let’s say I can catch you
and send you to the police.
..
[01:30:24:18]
[01:30:25:04]
But then what will happen to me after that?
[01:30:27:01]
[01:30:29:19]
I mean, there is tension.
Y'know, it's kind of a frozen conflict...
[01:30:34:10]
[01:30:34:16]
but it can explode at any time.
[01:30:38:19]
[01:30:39:06]
The bridge used to be a
normal bridge before the war,
[01:30:41:23]
[01:30:41:23]
but after the war it was so politicized by KFOR,
by politicians, by everyone
[01:30:47:23]
[01:30:47:23]
so that now, I mean, you still see
the police in the middle of the bridge.
[01:30:52:10]
[01:30:53:23]
You've seen that it’s not so dangerous anymore.
[01:30:56:15]
[01:31:01:14]
I think now they’re just there
because they’re used to being there.

When they came in they were like cannibals.
[01:35:03:20]
[01:35:03:23]
They felt wronged because we wouldn't join them.
They thought we were with the Serbs.
[01:35:13:23]

So because we didn't help them, they started
kidnapping us, drinking, beating, raping...

[01:37:39:09]
They were giving out some pills.
[01:37:43:14]
[01:37:43:14]
The lead level went down.
Then they stopped supplying medicine.

that our children have high levels of lead.
[01:38:50:00]
[01:38:50:18]
And it leads to lives here being ruined.
Many people, many children already died.
[01:38:56:15]

Sara was diagnosed with three sorts of

[01:39:30:04]

People here have lived under communism for
an extended period of time...
[01:45:05:18]
[01:45:05:20]
and a lot of the common practices
of religion were not allowed.
[01:45:09:21]
[01:45:10:03]
We were left with some things we could still
[01:45:12:02]
[01:45:12:02]
practice such as religious burials and such,
[01:45:14:10]
[01:45:14:12]
but mostly everything else was taken away.
[01:45:16:15]
[01:45:20:09]
In terms of is it hard to
[01:45:24:00]
[01:45:24:00]
practice or follow the rules of Allah,
[01:45:27:16]
[01:45:27:16]
it is certainly not.
[01:45:30:13]

Going back to your question of the
[01:45:34:03]
[01:45:34:03]
surrounding factors and the people who live
around us, they are very prejudiced.
[01:45:39:15]

I believe they are like this because of
media propaganda and lies about the faith.
