Whilst it seems to me that life ought to be a little bit dangerous,

A 16-year-old former reality
show contestant won Albania's song festival on Sunday, securing a ticket for the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest in Moscow.
Kejsi Tola's "Më Merr Në Ëndërr" ("You take
me with you in a dream") received 126 points from the jury judging the twenty songs in the festival's final round. Tola, a perky, long-haired brunette, last year won the Ethet talent show, a reality show modeled on the popular “American Idol” franchise.
The winning song was written by the same team of musicians that penned Albania's first-ever Eurovision entry in 2004, when Anjeza Shahini, also a winner of the Ethet talent show, clinched Albania’s best Eurovision ranking to date, coming in 7th place.

A group of young promoters from Belgrade working under the name of Super Size She Records shine like a beacon of hope for the Serbian independent music scene, putting their time and effort into promoting music solely for the love and joy it brings them.
A giant shopping mall that will open later this year is expected to increase competition in the Albanian retail market and drive down prices of commercial real estate.
