Bye-bye Bush, hello normal rhythm of life

Several weeks before President Bush arrival to Zagreb, capital of Croatia, we were witnessing many preparations for his two days visit. It was almost everyday topic. Security measures were on highest level. People living nearest to the hotel of his stay, as well as those living in the streets of his possible trafficking routes during the stay, received special instructions.

Croatians were aware of importance of US President arrival, and because of that mostly satisfied. But, such caution and secure measurements for some was kind of uncomfortable change of their regular every day habits or even obligations. I assume that the most inconvenient part of this story, for those citizens was that they nonnegotiable had to accept those changes caused by highly increased secure measures.

Today, the day after President Bush departure, when the streets are not covered with lot of police forces any more, it seams that Zagreb is catching back its normal rhythm of life.
