and possessing a screaming compulsion for leaving large traces behind such as endowments, ethno-villages, pseudo-towns, etc. — Kusturica's pyramids of sorts". Arsenijević eventually gets to Kamengrad also known as Andrićgrad, blasting it as "a kitschy shopping mall in the form of an ethno-town founded on bad taste and lies, all erected by a kitschy director in a deadly-kitsch pseudo-state, the so-called Republika Srpska, represented by the man of sizable head, manly chin, cross-eyed gaze, as well as tiring and ineloquent narrative—the (in)famous Milorad Dodik". The columnist further denounces Kusturica and his project in Višegrad, laughing off its stated 'multiethnic nature' over what he sees to be the director's failure to clearly acknowledge and properly commemorate the Bosnian Muslim victims in the city during the Bosnian War, seeing this omission as "Kusturica's true legacy and his only lasting pyramid that's going to remain long after his vainly erected 'towns' have been wiped off the face of the earth". Arsenijević closes by ironically wondering how would Ivo Andrić have reacted to Kusturica's town. And answers that Andrić "has for the umpteenth time been hijacked, misused, maltreated, humiliated, and brutally raped" before imagining Andrić "a slight, physically feeble, and restrained man without a shred of Ottoman or Balkan atavism in him, 'tender and white with a painfully-thin fragrant soul'" yielding to "Kusturica's brutal appearance featuring greasy hair, withered highland never quite cleanshaven face, neurotic wrinkle in the base of the nose, and a suspicious gaze".
