willing to do something, etc..., and promised<br />
to help. The following day there was a public<br />
notification at the building. The door was<br />
sealed and from that very moment every<br />
step inside the building became a criminal<br />
act. Lots of our things stayed locked inside:<br />
armchairs, chairs, furniture we had brought<br />
or got from people who didn’t need them any<br />
more.<br />
Shortly before the Peoples Global Action<br />
Congress in 2004 near Belgrade, there was<br />
squatted an old house in Kralja Milutina<br />
street. In this house lived Roma and homeless<br />
people and in the same backyard was<br />
the DžKC Club. Everything worked fine for<br />
a few months, as long as there was enough<br />
enthusiasm, but by-and-by there came less<br />
and less people. In the house stayed as well<br />
activists on their journey through. Some<br />
time there was water and electricity. Later all<br />
ended up, because there was no enthusiasm<br />
or will to do something concrete. The city<br />
government tore down the house in the end<br />
and kicked the people out. Now there is a<br />
fence around the old houses in this backyard<br />
and one is waiting for an investor.<br />
There took place lots of benefit parties and<br />
illegal parties in the nature, mainly with<br />
trance music. At the benefit parties we collected<br />
optional donations through symbolic<br />
tickets and by the time we had enough<br />
money to buy a whole sound system: amplifier,<br />
loudspeakers, cables etc. We lend the<br />
equipment for every event that we like to<br />
support and normally people give a symbolic<br />
amount of money between 5 and 10 Euro<br />
for transport and maintaining of the equipment.<br />
Sometimes we have problems with the<br />
transport, but we always find some friends to<br />
help out.<br />
SPK participated in a joint project with activists<br />
from Priština called Road to Peace<br />
and with this was realized an important<br />
collaboration. People from here went to<br />
Prishtina and people from Prishtina came<br />
50<br />
pružiti svu pomoć. Sutradan je na zgradi osvanulo<br />
zvanično obaveštenje. Zgrada je bila<br />
zapečaćena i od tada svako ulaženje unutra<br />
smatrano je krivičnim delom. Veliki broj<br />
naših stvari je ostao unutra: fotelje, stolice,<br />
nameštaj, donešeni ili dobijeni od ljudi kojima<br />
nisu više trebali.<br />
Nešto pre konvencije Peoples Global Action<br />
održane 2004. u okolini <strong>Beograd</strong>a, skvotirana<br />
je jedna stara kuća u ulici Kralja Milutina.<br />
U kući su živeli Romi i beskućnici,<br />
a u istom dvorištu je bio i klub DžKC. Sve<br />
je funkcionisalo nekoliko meseci dok je<br />
bilo poleta, ali je vremenom bilo sve manje<br />
posećeno. Ovde su bili smeštani aktivisti i<br />
aktivistkinje na proputovanju. Neko vreme<br />
je bilo vode i struje. Kasnije se sve opet<br />
završilo odsustvom entuzijazma ili volje<br />
da se tu nešto konkretno uradi. Gradska<br />
vlast je na kraju došla i srušila kuću a ljude<br />
isterala i evakuisala. Na starim kućama u<br />
ovom dvorištu sada stoje rešetke i čeka se<br />
građevinski investitor.<br />
Organizovane su nebrojene benefit žurke<br />
kao i neprijavljene žurke u prirodi, uglavnom<br />
trance karaktera. Na benefit žurkama<br />
sakupljani su dobrovoljni prilozi od<br />
simboličnih ulaznica i s vremenom smo<br />
imali dovoljno novca da kupimo ceo sound<br />
system: pojačalo, zvučnike, kablove i slično.<br />
Oprema se ustupa za svaki događaj za koji<br />
se odlučimo da treba podržati i obično ljudi<br />
daju neku simboličnu cifru od 5 ili 10 evra,<br />
za troškove transporta ili za održavanje<br />
same opreme. Ponekad imamo probleme sa<br />
prevozom, ali se uvek snađemo preko saradnika<br />
ili prijatelja.<br />
SPK je učestvovao u jednom zajedničkom<br />
projektu sa aktivistima i aktivistkinjama iz<br />
Prištine koji se zvao Road to Peace i ostvarena<br />
je značajna saradnja. Ljudi odavde su<br />
išli u Prištinu kao što su i iz Prištine dolazili<br />
u <strong>Beograd</strong>. Bilo je tu, kulturnih programa,<br />
političkih debata i diskusija itd... Radilo se<br />
na obezbeđivanju boravka nekoliko kara-
