The mythical vampire Sava Savanović supposedly lived in Serbia. When the city of Valjevo registered him as its official tourist mascot, the neighbouring city Zarožje (which also claims him as its historical denizen) filed a complaint with the police, stating that the vampire “was stolen from them”.

I think the vampire should make the final decision.
Sava probably left to work in Germany.
The vampire: “Am I a joke to you?”
“[Vampir](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vampire?wprov=sfla1)” is probably the most well known Serbian word.
Well I hope they come to their senses and stoke this rivalry for years to come. Evey dark and silent village in the Balkans can have a vampire but tourists would come to see villages that both fight for one.
Make twice yearly stealing parades from one city to the next. Make town criers call out the other city, make secret vampire stealing teams go through the city (of course make the loud and shiny).
