SPECIAL OFFERS
 
You demand more excitement, more danger, bigger adventure? If you think that TITANIC was something, then look here!
 
1) We are negotiating with NATO Alliance to allow American tourists to travel by F-117 Stealth aircraft, which recently provides more fun and much more excitement than regular B-2 or B-52 aircraft!!! You may also be able to visit the F-117 graveyard in Budjanovci, but only if you land successfully!
 
2) For our special guests, depressive American millionaires, we offer a full-night accommodation at one of the Military Bases on Kosovo as a 100% successful therapy! Money back guarantee in death case.
 
3) Safari Tour! That's right! You can travel with the refugees across the country, enjoying a unique trip on the red tractors! Those with the driver's licenses may already book the tractor (first and last one in the convoy are already booked).
 
4) Fast Railroads of Serbia! Get aboard to some international train and travel through Serbia! Watch the beauties of our country, canyons and bridges - you may also place a no limit bet - arriving in one piece or many pieces!
 
5) Play a role of a famous producer Oliver Stone! Set up your cameras and your gear and let the actors play while you direct "PLATOON 2"!

PAYMENT
 
Since there are many interested ladies and gentlemen among EU and NATO countries, all of our guests who apply within next week will be granted a generous discount of 5% per cash payment and 50% per S-300 payment. We take credit cards - "American Regret", "NO VISA", "Blast'em Hard".
 
GUARANTEES
 
We guarantee that NATO Alliance will strictly respect their promise and continue intensive bombing of Yugoslavia in order to improve Yugoslav tourism, since all the other sources of development are damaged or endangered, and since there are no other reasons to continue this aggression. If there would be no bomby-days during your staying in Yugoslavia, or if some break happens, and if you don't see at least 10 civilians killed per two nights of bombing - money back guarantee.
 
RECOMMENDATIONS
 
The people of Yugoslavia would gladly share their daily food portions and supplies, but we strongly recommend you to bring your own food and luxuries such as peanut butter, caviar, maple syrup etc. UNLESS you want to experience the full impression of being a Serb in their own country. If you're not sure with whom are you talking to on the field and if you can't recognize his nationality, which is a common thing, you may know who the Serbs are at any occasion - an average Serb will never say "I did NOT had sexual relationship with that woman."
 
ACTIVITIES
 
This program is supervised by most of the world humanitarian organizations such as EU, NATO, UN, OSCE, MMF, KLA, KKC, ETA and many others, for a sake of globalization, peace, stability and democracy.
