Imagine a world where duels were legal! Yes, you read that right – in early 20th century Serbia, people could challenge a newspaper editor to a duel over a single insult in an article! Officers pulled pistols over a look, and honor was defended with bullets. Kurir is launching a historical reader that will open your eyes and make you laugh till you cry. Momčilo Petrović, a master of sharp writing and a connoisseur of Serbian history, takes us through stories not found in textbooks but so wild they sound like movie scripts.
Serbs lived life to the fullest for centuries – loving madness, laughing heartily, eating with passion, and scheming with skill. This week, and every week after, Kurir brings you anecdotes, scandals, and heroic tales from Serbia’s past that will leave you breathless.
Just imagine – duels were legally allowed! A dissatisfied reader could challenge the editor to a duel. This wasn’t just a war of words, but a real shootout! Officers fought over looks and insults to honor, all in a country where emotions and passions ran high.
This column is not only entertaining but educational. Petrović brings truths often left out of school books but that shaped the spirit and character of the Serbian people.
