>>I'm proud to announce that in my city back home, McDonalds had to close shop - the sales were below the cost. And they had a perfect location (main street #1), even used some political pressure to get it open (aided by the neocommunist party of Sloba's wife) despite some sanitary issues. They even gave free meals when whole class would be invited from a nearby elementary school. Furthermore, their certified suppliers for buns and cheese were in the very same city.

>I wonder if they tried to open one down in Leskovac!
I'll try to explain the terms here:
>God I miss those Belgrade.Balkanska.LeskovackePljeskavice here in Cyprus...
Balkanska street in Belgrade goes from downtown Belgrade (figuratively "down", as it's on a top of a hill) in the general direction of the railway station, at a very steep slope. There are a lot of nice little shops and cute eateries along this street. The latter are necessary because one gets tired really quick shopping up and down the street in the former.
Pljeskavica of Leskovac (a nice little city in south Serbia) is, well, a barbecued ground meat pattie just like any other, except that it's unlike any other :). Haven't eaten one since '88 or so (those I ate elsewhere don't count, you have to travel down south and eat it on the spot), and I'm in danger of drowning as I write, my mouth is watering...
>Bre!
Now, for the benefit of our readers around the globe, bite the bullet and try to translate "bre!" :)
Cvrc!
