Zastava

China

The Zastava factory in Serbian city of Kragujevac does not only produce weapons but also among other things cars.
The man who guided me through parts of the factory is not only a worker, he owns together with his father a small shop that sells china, vases and other household articles.
For one moment I thought that he was trying to sell me a jacket, but at the end all he wanted to do was introduce me to his wife and his youngest daughter, a charming eight-year-old.
