Cafe Osama to Change Name

(Belgrade, Serbia) The name of the Cafe Osama offended U.S. diplomats and the owner was told to change it.

From Ananova.com:

The word Osama means 'secluded' in Serbo-Croat and cafe owner Milomir Jeftic said he had named his shop after a local shelter for the homeless.

But he has been told to change it after an official complaint from the US Embassy, local media reported.

But Jeftic said: "I had no intention of offending Americans. It is just a word in Serbian.

"I admit I have heard of Osama Bin Laden, but until now I was not quite sure who he was."

Keeping up on world events apparently is not practiced in Serbia.
