The European Union of Yugoslavia
My good friend Steve Carlson (co-founder with myself of Budapest Week newspaper) is a really talented writer, though he doesn’t do enough of it for my liking. He’s talking about a book idea now, and I would be eager to read it, as I love whatever he writes. He just spent four weeks driving through the former Yugoslavia — Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia and Montenegro — along with two other dear friends of mine. I spent a lot of time traveling around the Balkans, including these countries myself (though not during actual warfare, as did several other friends of mine, who made their professional reputations on it, including Peter Maass). Despite how screwed up that poor region of the globe has been in the last decade, I have a particularly warm spot for Yuog-land, and recommend a journey there to anyone who’s able.
Steve just posted a travel log about his road trip to his web site. Highly recommended reading.
