september 1968.

The first Yugoslav with a transplanted heart, some kid from around here. He'll live for six more years. Surgery was done by Debakey himself, in Houston.

Saw him next year in a short video, he had a rock band.

Buglaria is getting jittery; Mika Špiljak warns them not to try to use the moment (when USSR is putting pressure on us over our support to ČSSR). Bulgarians deny any intentions. A bomb exploded in the wardrobe of belgrade Main railway station, many injured (Miljenko Hrkač found guilty later). An article in „Pravda“ formulates Brežnjev's doctrine: the states of Warsaw pact are allowed only limited sovereignty. At least they have come clear - if they pretended, so far, that they were some kind of community gathered around resistance to Nato, now its substance is laid bare, that it's ruled by Soviets and the others get to obey.


Mentions: Milka Petrov, in serbian
