May 28th, 2008 by Steve BowbrickPeace in the Balkans has brought many benefits: cheap Adriatic package holidays, several completely new countries to visit (and with them a splendid bloom of Eurovision weirdness) but for some the benefits are more substantial.

This is emotional stuff and tells an important story about human endurance and love for home and people (MP3).
