I was invited by Dobrica Kamperelic (mail art / performance) to play 'in vivo'
in Belgrade (Serbia) as part of the 2005 Open World - Open Mind Festival.
This happened in October 2005:

Joe Fleury (Bidoche Musique) and Dragan Djordjevic ('Macan')
in jazz club RIF, Belgrade

Rorica + Dobrica Kamperelic (with
my left-handed bass guitar)

It was a great experience and I met some fantastic people.

Ars in Actio Festival, Belgrade, Serbia (2008)

Well I was back in Serbia for another Open World-Open Mind Festival in July 2008
but under another label, "Ars in Actio" (Action Art Festival, Belgrade).
The last time I saw Dobrica, he was throwing insults in my direction after
being in his presence for about 3 days and for the rest of my stay, I stood clear
of him. This time was a repeat performance and I won't bore you with the details.
He was the artistic director of the festival.

Great audience at the University Housing Complex.
After the show, I gave away about 20 cd's*
