A bomb explodes in Belgrade

On the radio since more than one hour there are only sad songs... I was thinking of a post than Gerardo posted in his blog about sad music on radio and the death of people in Bosnia. So I ask my colleague why do there is sad music on the radio. He thinks, and told me, laughing, maybe it is the preparation of Saint Valentine Day...
10 minutes later, Eta told us there is a bomb which just explodes in Belgrade, In the commercial center Mercator...

I am thinking of Gerardo right now (http://sarajewhat.blogspot.com/). The region is so amazing. Mickeal Jackson is singing "What about us". I am going to read the news on internet before to take my bus.
I feel even more alive right now.

The scene at Mercator Belgrade (FoNet)
here is what I found about this information:
BELGRADE -- An explosive device was thrown in the car park of the Mercator shopping center in New Belgrade this morning.
The scene at Mercator Belgrade (FoNet)There was also a bogus bomb threat at the Mercator Center in Čačak. At around 1050 Mercator received a tip-off that a bomb had been planted on its premises in Čačak. However, after the building had been evacuated and a police search, it turned out that the tip-off had been a hoax, B92 understands. The attack in Belgrade took place at 0530 this morning. One shop window on the ground floor was destroyed by the explosion. Police are at the scene and an investigation is under way. There were no injuries, though there has been material damage, Mercator’s media manager Sanja Šegrt said. Despite the explosion, the shopping center will work normally today. More details concerning the incident will be known once the police finish their investigation. Meanwhile, the Slovenian Foreign Ministry has reacted to the incidents. "We expect the Serbian authorities to investigate the matter and take the necessary measures against the culprits. The ministry expresses its concern at these events. We would like to remind all Slovenian nationals that they can seek help from their nearest Slovenian embassy at times like this. Slovenia and Serbia have a traditional friendship. We will endeavour to maintain it both within the government and in the EU," read a statement.
