Billed as a book that will make anyone who was part of former Yugoslavia laugh, Filter Jugoslavia is based on a series of columns written by Macedonian Konstantin Petrovski.
Originally published from September 2004 – June 2005 in EGO magazine under the nickname Mirko and Slavko factum est, the columns were about small, daily things that were part of life for people in the former Socialistic Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (1943-1992), particularly in the 1980s when the author was growing up.
From the irresistible collectability of Pez candies to the famed beauty of folk singer Lepa Brena, the taste of powdered orange juice to the little dramas of small town life, it’s all here in this collection of deeply personal memories which will nonetheless resound with a lot of Balkan people.
