The quotation is from Young.Balkan.Designers 2011: Interview with Konstantin Grcic who is head of the international jury of the competition Young.Balkan.Designers - a platform for young designers from across central and eastern Europe at Mikser Festival during Belgrade Design Week:

"I think for everyone who goes Belgrade it is more than just “another design week”, because you are brought into a world that you don’t know, that somehow is still exotic. Serbia is not only on the outer edges of Europe but through our ignorance here in Western Europe remains on the edge of our field of vision. But what is happening there has an energy and vibrancy that we have long since lost."

I am expecting to see what his reactions will be when he comes to Sofia for our 3rd Sofia Design Week at the beginning of June.
