Serbia has some amazing people

Maybe you haven't noticed them, but they are here, smart, brave, they boldly go where no one really would in their shoes. They represent role models how everyone wants to be.

So let's start with the president Boris Tadic (within people better known as BoTa). He's shiny, always using cool bro'-type of handshake, especially with the political opponents and sportsmen. He has to be very technical, as a Psychology graduate he used to be the Minister of Telecommunications. Way to go bro! Man, I want to be the president baby, then I would never have to skip a match of football, tennis, basketball or water-polo especially when the national team is playing, I'd be an honored guest, sipping champagne, commenting the game for the news. Super job. But it ain't easy though, you gotta be an amazing dude like BoTa to do all the amazing stuff for the country to keep it blossoming like this and still have time for the games.

Then we have another amazing guy, Velimir Ilic, who was a minister of infrastructure, and a president of Serbian Athletic association at the same time. But that's really nothing special, what he really is famous for is the amount of food and drink he can intake, and the amount of impoliteness he can outburst. Truly fascinating.

Dragan Djilas, man, this guy is the mayor of the biggest and almost the only important city in the country, he is fighting for the poor, for jobs, for the green, for health, for schools, for public transport... But that just ain't enough for that omni-capable dude. He is also a president of the basketball association. Don't know if he ever played, but he certainly knows a lot about business and can transfer his knowledge and know-how, because being the mayor of Belgrade is not making him busy enough, so he has of course some time for additional activities.

One of the most important goals of our government is the fight for Kosovo, at least that's what they say. Minister Jeremic is striving to convince other countries not to recognize Kosovo. But he is doing a killer job there, so that he can also help our tennis federation work better. He's been the only candidate so far to become the president of this federation, AFAIK.

Enough? Nooo, we have so many more amazing people, just couldn't write about all of them right now. For instance Oliver Dulic, a surgeon who is the Minister of Environment, Mining and Spatial Planning. Wow! Then if you scroll back in time for last 20 years, I bet there hasn't been a board of directors in Partizan/Red Star, without a member from the political party that's in the government. Mirko Marjanovic used to be a prime minister and also an honored president of Partizan.

And I must say, I don't follow what's going on in politics a lot. If I did, I would have probably known about many more amazing people in Serbia. They represent our biggest treasure, literally.

Disclaimer: If you think I'm biased for/against a political party, that's wrong, I'm only biased towards my shorter-term-memory and limited knowledge.
