Corpulent cook was bothered with a song by Marlene Dietrich, which directly associates on the German occupation of Serbia. It is known that this was unofficial anthem of German soldiers in World War II.
- While i was preparing food, i heard from the restaurant part that some parts of the songs sung by fascist soldiers which committed the greatest crimes in the history of mankind - Orelj explained his motives.
- I went out and i told musicians to put down their instruments and to stop with music. Then i called my manager and he laughed for what i had said. I asked him if its normal to listen to these songs in the middle of Belgrade, and he gave me no response and told me to go home - said Orelj.
He was more bothered by the fact that no one from the staff reacted when they heard the song when musicians started playing.
- We came to the situation in our own country to humbly bow our heads before anyone who comes from foreign countries. I revolted because that song is played for Germans in the heart of Belgrade, where their ancestors committed terrible crimes - said the cook.
Manager of the restaurant Dragan Nedeljkovic confirmed that he told Orelj to go home, when he asked to stop the music.
- He started shouting how that song should not be played. He isn't hired to be music editor but a cook. I did not know that the song had such a historical part during the World War II - Nedeljkovic explains the reasons why Orelj got fired.
Nedeljkovic wasn't on the work this morning, and his colleagues did not want to comment on the incident.
