Belgrade's open-air markets were a welter of busy customers on Friday with one thing on their mind _ garlic.

In Serbia, garlic is a remedy for all, including swine flu whose recent surge has triggered mild panic among the population.

public places are smelling of the little white bulbsas people munch them as if eating apples.
