Ljupka Cvetanova
“Our history is unpredictable.”
Ljupka Cvetanova, The New Land

Anthony Bourdain
“You know, I'll tell you honestly: if you like food and you haven't come here to eat, you're really missing the fucking boat. This is world-class food; this is world-class wine; this is world-class cheese. The next big thing is Croatia. If you haven't been here, you're a fucking idiot. I'm an idiot.”
Anthony Bourdain, World Travel: An Irreverent Guide
