The concept of no one actually "owning" the exterior of a building is so strange to Americans, but I realize that is often the case in Serbia. When I see graffiti in public places (where it is illegal), I instantly tie that to thoughts of "oh this is a rough neighborhood and bad things happen at night." Just my perspective. :) Thanks for your thoughts!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17479083319482397950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8971084605385986566.post-23166750692242494362012-05-20T05:59:37.639-07:002012-05-20T05:59:37.639-07:00You see ,I think graffitis are part of the charm o...You see ,I think graffitis are part of the charm of Belgrade or any other Serbian town. Not the ones from Partizan or Zvezda's fans or the ones with four S, but the smart and artistic ones, the ones that say I Love you Milice or the above mentioned one : You painted for nothing. It kinda shows the personality and humor of its citizens. I know it is considered illegal but the buildings really belong to everybody ( at least the outside of it!) so why not??!! I have just visited Budapest and it looked really strange not to see any graffitis in the city , really sterile! I my self have never wrote any graffiti on the wall but I think they represent an artistic expression and would love to see them legalized. We would then really see the true artists come and show their best work and not just the ones done fast in the middle of the night !<br />Before you judge my comment please think of it with open minds!La Leche Belgradehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11436918476982391519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8971084605385986566.post-68540166208410373402012-05-20T04:55:40.451-07:002012-05-20T04:55:40.451-07:00You see ,I think graffitis are part of the charm o...You see ,I think graffitis are part of the charm of Belgrade or any other Serbian town.
