The whole world is weeping for Diego Armando Maradona, who passed away a few days after his 60th birthday.

Maradona respected Serbia very much, he spoke respectfully about our people and country, came to Belgrade while he was a footballer, scored one of the most spectacular goals of his career here, and he also returned to Red Star's stadium 15 years ago, when he worked on a documentary about his life with film director Emir Kusturica.

The degree to which Maradona was respected in these regions is evidenced by an obituary that appeared in a daily newspaper, with a message written in Cyrillic.

"Last farewell to the great Diego Armando Maradona. Many things connected us. Your people from Niksic and Podgorica from the cafe bar Ex Ponto: Danko, Vlado, Dzoni, Krle, Kumara and Gosa."
