The watershed moment followed the demolitions of 25 April 2016, when citizens showed up in great numbers to protest, demanding resignations and laying criminal responsibility at the door of officials. We led the biggest civic protests since those that toppled Slobodan Milošević in 2000. Movement transformed into political organization which participated in the local elections. Key achievement is positioning of the topics of urban development and citizen participation in decision making process as one of most important issues in public sphere in Belgrade.

    Belgrade Rocks - New York Times http://travel.nytimes.com/2005/10/16/travel/16belgrade.html?ei=5070... October 16, 2005 Belgrade Rocks By SETH SHERWOOD Correction Appended NIGHT falls in the capital of the former Yugoslavia, and music fills the air. Everywhere. Along the banks of the Danube and Sava Rivers, serpentine chains of music-blasting splavovi - floating raft clubs - snake into the inky Balkan night. Fortified by huge meat-kebab dinners and Turkish coffees from Belgrade's myriad cafes, crowds of night owls line up to partake variously of Gypsy bands, electronic mixes, rock 'n' roll and a distinctly Serbian hybrid known as Turbofolk. As a parade of Puma-clad feet files down the metal gangway to a club called Exile, the night's marquee D.J., the New York City-based techno producer John Selway, prepares for his 2-to-6 a.m. set. "The most fun places to play are here, South America and Japan!" he shouts over rapid-fire industrial beats, praising the energy of the night life in the capital of Serbia and Montenegro, the name for what is left of Yugoslavia after its unraveling in the early 90's. "They're interested in new music and in building a scene!" Across the water, the lighted dome of St. Sava Church and illuminated stone walls of the centuries-old Kalemegdan Fortress hover over the capital's skyline. Just six years ago, during 78 days of NATO bombings intended to quell President Slobodan Milosevic's attacks on ethnic Albanians in the nation's Kosovo province, that same panorama exploded routinely in flame and debris.

  • Geographical Index of Concentration As an Indicator of the Spatial Distribution of Tourist Attractions in Belgrade
    TURIZAM Volume 25, Issue 1 45–54 (2021) ORIGINAL SCIENTIFIC PAPER Geographical Index of Concentration as an Indicator of the Spatial Distribution of Tourist Attractions in Belgrade Sanja PavlovićA, Radmila JovanovićB Received: July 2020 | Accepted: March 2021 DOI: 10.5937/turizam25-27553 Abstract The spatial structure of tourist attractions can be presented both qualitatively and quanti- tatively. One of the indicators of the spatial structure of tourism is the index of geographi- cal concentration of tourist attractions. The geographical concentration of tourist attractions represents the ratio of the number of tourist attractions in the observed area and its struc- tural parts and the total number of structural units of the analyzed area. This paper aims to determine the spatial distribution of attractions in the administrative territories of Belgrade municipalities and to establish correlations with tourist attendance. The number and spatial distribution of accommodation capacities are the largest in the central city municipalities so that the number of visitors is the largest in them. At the same time, the central city municipal- ities have the highest concentration of tourist attractions. For data collection, the authors used field research, OSM (Open Street Maps), Google maps, with software processing ArcGIS 10.2. The research results enabled the definition of the model of distribution of tourist attractions and indicated its application. This model of distribution of tourist attractions shows that they are mostly concentrated in the city center. This also means a small spatial connection of tour- ist attractions in the city center and peripheral parts. Keywords: tourist attractions, spatial distribution, geographical index, Belgrade Introduction The competition of tourist values in an area, among other things, relies on the structure of the tourist resource.

  • Serbia 2020 OSAC Crime & Safety Report
    Serbia 2020 OSAC Crime & Safety Report This is an annual report produced in conjunction with the Regional Security Office at the U.S. Embassy in Belgrade. OSAC encourages travelers to use this report to gain baseline knowledge of security conditions in Serbia. For more in-depth information, review OSAC’s Serbia country page for original OSAC reporting, consular messages, and contact information, some of which may be available only to private-sector representatives with an OSAC password. Travel Advisory The current U.S. Department of State Travel Advisory at the date of this report’s publication assesses Serbia at Level 2, indicating travelers should exercise increased caution due to crime. Review OSAC’s report, Understanding the Consular Travel Advisory System. Overall Crime and Safety Situation Crime Threats The U.S. Department of State has assessed Belgrade as being a HIGH-threat location for crime directed at or affecting official U.S. government interests. The considerable risk from crime is due to the activities of Organized Crime (OC) groups, as Serbia is a main trafficking route from the east to Europe. Rival OC groups target each other in a competitive market, as an ongoing turf war between OC groups over drug distribution rights, resulting in violence to include assassination by firearms and explosives. In 2019, there was one OC-related attempted murder and six OC-related murders in Serbia, a significant decrease from the previous year. None of these murders resulted in a criminal conviction, and most lack even a single suspect. All seven involved firearms. Local media reporting notes that in 2018, 35-40 OC attacks occurred in Belgrade, most involving firearms or car bombs.
