“In 1989, when I was 11, the children's passport of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was issued to me. I used it only once; one year later the Yugoslavian wars started, and everything changed. In my life time, I've been issued four different passports, because while it was dissolving my country changed its name several times."
“I lived in the same address for 30 years, although I grew up in four different countries. After the wars and the fall of Socialism, Serbian society entered a phase of democratization. But in 2003 the new democratic Prime Minister Zoran Djindjic, who pushed hard towards making the state functional again, was assassinated in the middle of Belgrade. In the following decade, around 400,000 young educated people have left my country in search for a better life. This year, I will probably become one of them...,” Jevtić says in the director's notes.
