Although the bombing went on, every day I  went  to my office to work. I work in a daily newspaper publishing house, so it was dangerous being there, because all state information institutions were possible targets to NATO bombs. But everybody in the country went to work (except those who were drafted by Army) so I went too. It was difficult after sleepless nights, time spent in shelter, bomb detonations, roaring of military jets and constant air defense fire to be able to work, to write about cultural events. 

But culture programs went on every day. Few days after the bombing begun people went with anti-NATO protest gatherings and concerts in open air. Every day at noon at the main square, in front of the City Hall, regardless if it was time of air raid, several rock bands were playing, with thousands of visitors, young and old together, relieving themselves  from fear they felt during the sleepless nights. They were all wearing little images of target on their clothes as a symbol of resistance to bombing. I was passing by them with enthusiasm, for all those young, smiling and healthy faces, who were dancing, some of them wearing messages for NATO, Clinton, Monica, Albright, shot down "invisible" F-117a (one saying: "Sorry, we didn't know it was invisible" or "Clinton, Serbia is not Monica" ), and it gave me strength to hold out. I also took part in an anti-NATO exhibition which we installed already on March 29, on the sixth day of bombing, in the Cultural Center Gallery, with more artists every day. I exhibited my Internet anti-war graphics, some showed crashed  NATO planes made of paper, there was also a piece of the downed F-117a stealth bomber put in a showcase. It was downed over Budjanovci, only few kilometers from Novi Sad. There were lectures, literary readings, concerts of classical music, film projections and exhibitions in the Cultural Center space beginning every day at noon, parallel to the street events, so I participated in that too, talking about my Internet activities and experiences, the support I received every day from friends from abroad. I read those e-mail messages to the audience to encourage them. Those were days of NATO horror, but also time of spiritual awakening of our people, of rising strength and defiance, so as NATO escalated its attacks, the defiance was growing. Those were days of some strange enthusiasm that have preserved our souls sane after all.
