Prayer services will be held before midnight tonight, while at the stroke of midnight, New Year services will welcome in the Julian calendar 2010. Elsewhere in Serbia, rock bands, brass orchestras and fireworks will entertain those who decide to celebrate outdoors. Unlike in this country, the Republic of Srpska (RS) has declared January 14 an official holiday. The holiday was banned during the years of communist Yugoslavia (SFRJ) because of its association with the Serb Orthodox Christianity. Marking it, sociologists Ratko Bozovic reminded, “for many Serbs represented a manner of ideological struggle” against SFRJ’s political arrangement. “As ideological chains weakened, it became just another reason to have a good time,” Bozovic concluded.
