"I tried to distract the bear with lights and music because I heard bears are afraid of that," Zoran Kiseloski told top-selling daily Dnevnik after the year-long case of the bear vs the beekeeper ended in the beekeeper's favour. "So I bought a generator, lit up the area and put on songs of (Serbian 'turbo-folk' star) Ceca." |

On the same mountain I also heard folk musicians playing gaida (bagpipes) and kaval (shepherd's flute) - perhaps that's why I didn't see the actual bear ... ? |

Next we will hear that the bees are suing the beekeeper for disturbing the peace and degrading the environment with loud music. |
