I live in Croatia part of the year and part of the year in the United States. And in my lifetime, slapping is not a freebie in either country. Serbia definitely was defeated after the war in 1990, and frustrations are high. But taking it all out on women is not allowed and thank goodness someone is writing about it. I think we all hope that the government will provide more services to help women leave abusive relationships, regarless of where they live.

'To slap a woman in the face if her husband is annoyed is considered OK...'

How hard can one slap a women, how many times per day, and can this be done in public as well as in the privacy of one's home?

I feel sorry for these women. If a man feels he is disrespected by his wife he can either talk about it with her, or leave her.
