Unlike other first ladies of the Balkan communist countries, who either held high government posts or operated as eminence grises behind the scenes, Jovanka Broz has never involved herself in politics. She used to be a style icon and a fashion dictator; and women throughout Yugoslavia did their best to look like Jovanka or at least have their hair in a bun like her.

Dubrovnik remains a popular spot for holiday makers in Croatia and there is little wonder why. Immersed in a fascinating history, this old walled city is a highlight of coastal Croatia in summer and a must-see port of call in the Western Balkans. Upon arriving there is a lot to discover within this 'pearl of the Adriatic' and this region of the Dalmatian coast is no better place to start.

NATO began their Kosovo campaign in late March, 1999 because they wanted it finished before winter, when they thought a deteriorating weather situation might prevent them finishing the war without reaching their objectives. However, the early spring weather did not do them many favours, and low cloud hampered many of their sorties in the first weeks of NATO's campaign.

Designed by Prof. Thucydides Valentis in the eclectic modernist style, the War Museum (Greek: Polemiko Mousio) was inaugurated in 1975 in Athens and hosts an interesting collection of war artefacts from antiquity to the modern era. This Greek Museum holds a collection of 20,000 historic photographs from 1897 to 1950s and an important collection of antique maps.

Revolutionary 19th Century

One hundred and forty years ago, revolutions erupted all over continental Europe. Socialist and communist revolts threatened the established order of things, and the stranglehold monarchs held over their domains began to loosen. The rest of the century saw the explosion of nationalist and ethnic movements closely tied to social and political movements. One such movement would play a role in bringing on the most destructive conflict the world had seen to that point. This movement was first articulated in the early 1800s and throughout a tortured history tried to unite the Slavic people of Eastern Europe and re-define the politics of Europe.

Greek vampires? When most people hear the word, “vampire,” they think about Bram Stoker’s Count Dracula and Transylvania. People view vampires as the blood drinking living dead. Eastern Europe is the motherland of most of the vampire lore; however other countries, including Greece, have their legends about the living bead.

Bulgaria's capital is a city that endeavours to shake off its pre-1989 communist stigma and move with the times, as is evident in the attire of its young and trendy, its rapidly expanding high streets and tourist-drawing nightlife. But for all of Sofia's willingness to embrace 21st century capitalism, there is a side to the city which remains resolutely old world. Sofia's wealth of ecclesiastical treasures takes the traveller through an expansive history of turmoil and ethnic diversity, hinting at the centuries of devout tradition which even 45 years of communism was unable to shake off.

Richard Holbrooke, a veteran diplomat who was assigned the ‘impossible task’ of bringing the Bosnian war to an end, died on December 13, 2010. Described by former US ambassador to Croatia Peter Galbraith, as a “fine and brutal negotiator”, (BBC News, 14/12/10), Holbrooke was a relentless and energetic diplomat who managed to bring the presidents of Serbia, Croatia, and Bosnia to the negotiating table and almost single-handedly secured the peace agreement. His book, To End a War, a fascinating account of his so-called ‘shuttle diplomacy’, was praised as “one of the most important and readable diplomatic memoirs of recent times” (The Washington Post).

Getting motivated to exercise is difficult for some people. Arriving home late from work, wanting to slip into "comfy" clothes instead of gym shorts, and smelling dinner are just a few obstacles to exercise. This certainly does not include the standard excuses of "not enough time" and "feeling tired." To some people exercise just comes very naturally and to others, well, it is literally pulling teeth. So, if the general health benefits are not enough to get "couch potatoes" off the sofa, then perhaps another motivation technique will work. Weight loss, disease prevention, and having more energy are a few techniques that work on some but others remain listless. So, here is a new motivation attempt to get active. The planet needs help cleaning up the mess humans have made. What is a bigger motivation than the air, soil, and water that make the earth livable? That's right, pretty much nothing.
