Eurovision 2008 - Gracious Serbian Hosts
Most music lovers that descended upon Belgrade for the annual Eurovision contest have now gone. Belgrade organizers received many compliments for how organized this year's contest was. Tickets for the events were sold out months ago and hotels were at capacity. The downtown walking street was more festive than normal and the usual fireworks filled the night sky. In areas around the competition arena, graffiti was painted over and police presence was slightly higher, but all was peaceful. While Serbia made it into the finals, the winner was Dima Bilan from Russia for his performance of Believe.
Congratulations Belgrade on a successful hosting of an international event.
