The event lasted for 100 days and its grand finale was the ‘Get out to Vote’ party, which was held one day before the elections that saw the downfall of Milošević.

actually, you might be suprised with the girls:D.
as far as travel costs are concerned you can check www.exitfest.org it has some info... why does it stand out? I was wondering myself until I spoke to the a few of the foreigners that were overflowing the festival - they seemed to like the fortress enviroment (with stages all over), the cheap bear and pills, and relatively cheap tickets... |

Thats why its so good, cuz you can`t compare it with anything else. :cool:
But really, i think its all about location that gives it that special taste, check Petrovaradin fortress on google...and ofc their site to check parties from last years...  |
