Walking through Belgrade, it is impossible not to notice the political graffiti. The messages are huge (see the last picture for scale), aggressive, and displayed prominently all over the city. They are in countless high-traffic areas, including the bus stop I used for class. The graffiti conveys a dangerous message of nationalism and militarism. They recall the violence of the 1990s and blatantly call for military reclamation of Kosovo, a former region of Serbia which declared independence in 2008. Some slogans, such as the one in the second picture, make reference to the environment to foster a sense of nostalgia and rightful claim to the physical territory of Kosovo, which was a setting for important Serbian history and culture. These ubiquitous slogans are a visible and unavoidable manifestation of the latent tension present in Belgrade and the rest of Serbia. They are a constant reminder that the root causes of the 1990s conflicts have not been addressed and that there is a real possibility of violence breaking out again in Kosovo.
