Checkpoint 303 at OKC Abrašević in Mostar, Bosnia Herzegovina
On the way to our gig in Sarajevo, we spent a few days in Mostar at the Abrasevic cultural center. Mostar, injured but hopeful, divided but optimistic, and young activists determined to resist through art and culture. images reminiscent of joe sacco's graphic depiction of the war in Bosnia, clashing with memories of biased tv reports, time for a reality check, we came to play music and to listen...
chilling with our hosts on the roof top of the OKC Abrasevic center, in the heart of Mostar, we felt at home...
Mostar, injured but hopeful, divided but optimistic,
sad and beautiful,
thanks to young activists and artists
determined to resist through art and culture.
OKC Abrasevic is an island of hope and cultural resistance.

U ožujku 1993. napušta Slobodnu Dalmaciju i s grupom kolega pokreće samostalni i suvereni satiričko-politički dvotjednik Feral Tribune. Prve brojeve lista potpisuje kao glavni i odgovorni urednik. U prosincu 1993.
