North Mitrovica political art 13: old and faded, the "CCCC" that means, "Cvi Crbi Ce Cereju" - "Only Unity Saves Serbs" - is written on this residential block's wall; here, too, is "Slobo", a short form of the first name of the former dictator, Slobodan Milosevic.

Apparently, I should have read "CCCC [SSSS]" as "Samo Sloga Srbina Spasava", which means "Only Unity Saves Serbs", rather than as "Svi Srbi Se Sereju", which according to one friend, Sabina, means, "All Serbs are Shitting Themselves", but which according to another, Nikola, means nothing (because the last word means nothing).

One minor correction, though: the "CCCC" are actually cyrillic "s"es for "samo sloga srbina spasava"...it's a well-known nationalistic slogan...

A funny story that happened to me a few years ago, in high school was one of a young Serb man from Bosnia who had decided to so promote the symbol, he proposed the school soccer team to make it the school symbol. The naive teacher almost agreed to it :P...I had to clarify the significance of such a symbol...odd but true...
