ŠTA, ZAŠTO I KAKO SLAVIMO
Dan ustavnosti Kraljevine Norveške – kratka istorija naizgled mirnog severa
Neverovatno ali istinito – prvi crteži urezani na stenama Skandinavskog poluostrva govore o postojanju lovaca i ribara u tim predelima čak 8000 godina pre nove ere, a izmedju 3000 – 2500 p.n.e već se pojavljuju zemljoradnički narodi na istočnim obalama onoga što se danas zove Norveška.
Trebalo je čekati do III veka nove ere da se pojave i tragovi runskih zapisa, a iz nemirnih vremena od
V do VIII veka izviruju ostaci brdskih odbrambenih utvrdjenja i počinje razvoj malih država – klanova sa prvim sudskim većima. Ceo tekst . . . .

We’ve had some problems with the website lately
Over the last month the website have been loading very slowly, for some – even not at all. The server (GoDaddy) was contacted about a week ago and the site now seems to be working again. Sorry for the inconvenience. ________________________________________________________________________________
They Did It Again – More Than 1 million Norwegians Watched the 730km Train Ride from Trondheim to Bodø For Almost 10 Hours – Minute by Minute
Now, you may also watch it here. The Norwegian Broadcasting Cooperation (Norsk Rikskringkasting – NRK) have done longer productions – only to mention the coastliner from Bergen to Kirkenes (134 hours non-stop television). If you like trains – this is it!

New meeting place for the Friday After Hours Sessions
It has come to my attention that quite a number of people don’t have a Facebook account (I understand you very well and have tried to avoid it for years!!) and therefore, have been left out of the information on the move.
This map shows the location of the “Gradonačelnik (the Mayor’s) Restaurant” in relation to Kasina (our old meeting place).
We are meeting every Friday from 17:00h.
You are very welcome!

Monument at the Prisoner of War camp Upper Jernvann at Bjørnefjell unveiled.
Four ambassadors (Serbia, Macedonia, Croatia and Germany) were present when Environment Minister Erik Solheim, unveiled the monument at the camp Upper Jernvann at Bjørnefjell. The camp was part of Beisfjord camp – the worst prison camp in Norway where 748 of 900 Yugoslavs were killed or died within four months. This and other camps in the period from June 1942 till March 1943 were pure extermination camps.
