Brusnik

Brusnik

Brusnik (Serbian Cyrillic: Брусник) is a village situated in the Zaječar municipality(formerly in Negotin municipality, as it is 37 km from Zaječar and just 21 km from Negotin, which is somewhat similar to the situation to that of their counterparts in Macedonia, "q.v. infra") of the Republic of Serbia.

Located roughly halfway between the end points of Prahovo--Zaječar railway line, it is the sole major railway junction on it.

Like many other villages in Eastern Serbia, specifically the Timok region, Brusnik has "pivnice"/"pimnice", a separate but attached set of temporary residences, aligned in streets and with shops, but not a school, post office or medical facilities (which remain only in the village itself), located 5 km away from the village proper and used for a month or so during the grape harvesting and wine making season.

Due to their exceptional quality, Brusnik wines were exported to the paramount centre of winemaking, France, as early as the mid-19th century, but today with a sharp decline in population and after the devastating effects of Tito's mismanaged so-called Socialism, Milosevic's nationalism, and the illegal NATO destruction of Serbia's infrastructure in 1999 over the Kosovo dispute, Brusnik's wineries -- and economy overall -- is devastated (not unlike that in a greater part of Serbia's countryside).
