However, they will be harder to reach during rush hour (around 5 pm) or in harsh weather (in Belgrade, that includes drizzling rain). The average fare around the downtown should not be higher than 400-600 RSD / €3.4-5 (around 1500 RSD/ €12.7 to the airport Nikola Tesla from the downtown, and 1800 RSD/€ 15.23 from the airport Nikola Tesla to the downtown). Every Belgrade taxi company has 2 signs: a company unique sign and a smaller blue one with 4 numbers - a distinctive numeral of each vehicle. If you grab a cab without the second sign - chances are that it's illegal. IMPORTANT: It is recommended that for the use of taxi services from Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport to any destination in Belgrade area and further, you contact the city service TAXI INFO desk, located in the baggage reclaim area. Please take a taxi receipt at the information desk that contains the name of your destination and appropriate price for the taxi service. For more information, please visit http://www.beg.aero/en/strana/8871/sa-aerodroma-nikola-tesla. Non-legal cab drivers at the airport, the central railway and bus station, tend to GREATLY embellish the prices.

  • From the Tito-Stalin Split to Yugoslavia's Finnish Connection: Neutralism Before Non-Alignment, 1948-1958
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: FROM THE TITO-STALIN SPLIT TO YUGOSLAVIA'S FINNISH CONNECTION: NEUTRALISM BEFORE NON-ALIGNMENT, 1948-1958. Rinna Elina Kullaa, Doctor of Philosophy 2008 Directed By: Professor John R. Lampe Department of History After the Second World War the European continent stood divided between two clearly defined and competing systems of government, economic and social progress. Historians have repeatedly analyzed the formation of the Soviet bloc in the east, the subsequent superpower confrontation, and the resulting rise of Euro-Atlantic interconnection in the west. This dissertation provides a new view of how two borderlands steered clear of absorption into the Soviet bloc. It addresses the foreign relations of Yugoslavia and Finland with the Soviet Union and with each other between 1948 and 1958. Narrated here are their separate yet comparable and, to some extent, coordinated contests with the Soviet Union. Ending the presumed partnership with the Soviet Union, the Tito-Stalin split of 1948 launched Yugoslavia on a search for an alternative foreign policy, one that previously began before the split and helped to provoke it. After the split that search turned to avoiding violent conflict with the Soviet Union while creating alternative international partnerships to help the Communist state to survive in difficult postwar conditions. Finnish-Soviet relations between 1944 and 1948 showed the Yugoslav Foreign Ministry that in order to avoid invasion, it would have to demonstrate a commitment to minimizing security risks to the Soviet Union along its European political border and to not interfering in the Soviet domination of domestic politics elsewhere in Eastern Europe.
