The Club in Belgrade's Palace Albanija
Entry 2 of 2 | show all | print this entry |
The Union of Yugoslav Journalists (SNJ) was located in a high rise called Palata Albanija, right in the heart of Belgrade, maybe 100 or so meters away from Grand hotel Moscow. The Union had a club, actually, it was the Club of the Foreign Press Association, obviously heavily supported by the federal ministry of Information. It had superb cuisine and low prices. We loved to lunch there. Everybody who was somebody would appear around lunch time, if for nothing else then for a drink. For dinner there would be a different clientele.
One needed a valid journalist's Union membership card to get in and they were very strict about it.
I bring this because my trip to Moscow, the eye-to-eye conversation with Viktor Afanasjev a live member, of the Central Committee of the Comunist Party of the Soviet Union was a privilege.
