His strong (and sometimes narrow) patriotism did not blind him to the risk of such a proposal, but his lectures and writings against the use of Russo-Slavonic did more than anything else to save the Serbian language. But the issue which interested Dositej most was the Serbian language-the adoption of a national language for Serbia, distinct from the Russo-Slavonic (in which her literature had until then been written. Finally he went to Belgrade at the invitation of Karađorđe Petrović, to become Serbia's first minister of education in the newly organized government. He showed a liking for England and the English. For forty years he travelled throughout the Balkans, the Levant, Imperial Russia, and Europe: Albania, Dalmatia, Corfu, Greece, Hungary, Turkey, Germany, Romania, Russia, Poland, Italy, France and England. He grew up bilingual (in Serbian and Romanian) and learned classical Greek, Latin, modern Greek, German, English, French, Russian, Albanian and Italian. He learned Italian while in Dalmatia and acquired a thorough knowledge of Greek, both ancient and modern. Obradović made great progress during this period. In July 1986, keyboardist Branislav Božinović was, due to his army obligations, temporarily replaced because of army duty by Milorad Džmerković, former member of Slomljena Stakla and Peđa D'Boy band. In November Kerber was awarded with Smeli Cvet (Courageous Flower), an award which was given by League of Communist Youth of Serbia for contribution to rock music. In October 1985, drummer Boban Đorđević was replaced by former Mama Co Co, YU grupa and Leb i Sol member Dragoljub Đuričić. On June 15 of the same year, Balkan, alongside 23 other acts, performed on Red Star Stadium, on the concert which was a part of YU Rock Misija, a Yugoslav contribution to Live Aid. In May 1985, only a week after Ratne igre was released, Stamenković went to serve the army and Boban Đorđević replaced him once again. Part of the album lyrics were written by the lyricist Duško Arsenijević, who continued to work with Kerber on their future releases. An English language version of "Mezimac" entitled "Get Me Out" was recorded on their concert in Liverpool and included on the album. During their staying in England, Kerber performed in Liverpool and Chester. The album was recorded in Saughall, and the producer was once again Gordon Rowley from Nightwing.
But there's no question that it achieves the rare quality of transcending it's genre.In December 1984, Kerber traveled to England to record their second album, Ratne Igre (War Games). In no way is this one of the greatest movies ever made.

the sequence where Broderick's character gets the password for the school computer.) Hacker movies have rarely come this close to being real - and, as someone who had been there and done that at about that time, it was scarily right. Laugh at the antiquated tech by all means, but be impressed by the effort taken to make it feel believable (cf.
That spectacular (if implausible) NORAD set is as astounding as ever, and the last line still deserves it's place in the pantheon. And the last ten minutes or so are still jaw-dropping. Obviously the onward march of technology has rendered several of the central plot devices redundant (although, to be honest, most modern techno-thriller entries are far less plausible) but the sheer tension of the story grabs you almost from the off and never lets go - there aren't many genre movies that got an Oscar-nomination for screenplay, which amply demonstrates its quality.
