Events were aired on anti-TV-show Nightmare Stage (Noćna mora), on Saturdays from 22:00 until the early morning hours on Z1, and transmitted via satellite. Events were described in short version in Malnar's column in the Globus magazine from Zagreb.
For a short period of time, shortened (and censored) versions of previous shows were aired on Croatian national TV in May 2007 (as "Privremeni tjednik"; only five episodes).
It was located in Peščenica, a working-class neighbourhood in Zagreb. The neighbourhood is in the northern part of the city (northwards from Sava river), southeastwards from the city center.
The project ended with the end of the TV-Show in 2010 after the "minister of defense", Zvonimir Levačić, died.
Anthem is Peščenice bijela and Danijela. Željko Malnar & Soma Dollara: Dobro jutro, Peščenico.
