Plato deemed the last article no good and has been removed,,so i did it again









This time i thought i'd talk about before i came to Serbia--maybe this should of been the first article?? Jebi ga


To be honest i didnt know much about Serbia but knew a few sports stars--
he was a bit of a hero for me back in the day

My uncle is a massive Man.U fan and season ticket holder

and some tennis playing person







So i jumped on to trusty

to begin researching

There wasnt a lot but what there was quite interesting.

First up was a lady called Dr Elizabeth Ross--a.k.a The Scottish saint of Serbia.

There was a desperate need for doctors and nurses in Serbia at the outset of the war," says Miller. "The country only had 400 doctors and most of them had been allocated to the military. Serbia was the first country to be attacked by Austro-Hungary and the hospitals were full of wounded Serbians and Austro-Hungarians. It was an absolutely desperate situation.

She volunteered to work in a typhus hospital in Kragujevac,despite knowing that she would be killed by the disease she couldnt not but help with such a shortage of nurses. This earned her huge respect from the Serbs. She is celebrated each year on the 14th of February 3other scottish nurses died along side her.Their graves still lie in Kragujevac with their headstones engraved-They gave their hearts to the people of Serbia.

Next up is Singidunum-
i dint know what/where/who this was and i'm guessing most of you guys dont either,,so translated into todays language





Yes it is thought a Celtic tribe,settled in the area in the 3rd century BC following the Gallic invasion of the Balkans.





The only real modern day connection was our latest and last visit to Serbia for the football match. There had been some snow and pitch played on by the mighty Vosa was un-playable but the Serbs and Scots worked together to clear the pitch.
