Film director Kusturica said he broke his leg, is now in a clinic in Serbia

BELGRADE, 1 March – RIA Novosti. Famous Serbian director and musician Emir Kusturica told RIA Novosti that he broke his right leg near the village of Drvengrad, which he built in the mountains of western Serbia.

“What an irony of fate: A person who has given so many concerts, been on stage many times, a helicopter pilot, slipped into an ordinary frozen tree. I broke my joint in two places when I fell, my right leg was literally twisted. It’s good to have someone nearby who I can push back a little bit,” he said.

The director stated that he is currently at the Banica Orthopedic Institute in Belgrade. It was noted that his voice was calm during the interview.

Snow and ice always stay longer in the cultural and tourist complex Drvengrad, 250 kilometers southwest of Belgrade, close to the Bosnia-Herzegovina border. Another name for this mountainous region, Mechavnik, means where snowstorms often occur.
