At the moment when bombing started, i.e. March 24, «Informant 74» was in print.
In the condition of constant «airstrike danger signals», our printing house has reduced very much its business hours (5-6 hours daily), so that the printing was finished with a delay of ten days.
However, after that, a part of the town in which the printing house is situated, Rakovica, has been seriously bombed almost every day. Although it has not been directly hit, the printing house (a very modern one, built three years ago) has been very damaged. Some walls of the building cracked, in some parts the ceilings dropped down, while one corner of the house dropped down completely.
The printing house does not work any more.
We sent «Informant 74» to our customers in the last moment. All big deliveries were sent by mail about April 10th. At that moment almost all main roads and railways could be used. In the meantime, a great number of bridges and railways were destroyed and could not be used for traffic (e.g. railways Beograd - Budapest and Beograd - Skopje), so that the mail goes very slowly.
Now our main aim is to survive - as individuals and as company. We do hope that we will succeed in it.
