I snapped a hurried shot of these advertising boards from a tram I was travelling on in New Belgrade the other day. The black sign with the white text simply says ‘BE’ in Serbian. Anyone have any idea what it’s for? You can also see from the photo that summer has moved over for winter to take centre stage. It’s cold. Brrrr. At least the city’s turned the heating on!

It was commercial for shopping mall Usce last lest year, all consisted from short statements like this one – Hocu (I want), Mogu (I can), etc. Quite pretentious and I would say even boring, but I see, out of the context, intriguing…

Gee, I don’t remember seeing ‘budi’ last year. If it’s more recent, we should be finding out soon, since they usually follow through with what’s next.

I have a suggestion for the next campaign: PIJI!
Sljivo is even better when it’s cold

Hey Adam – excellent site.
I have visited Belgrade a few times (my wife is from the city) and can understand why you live there. If only I could persuade my wife to move back.
My language skills are rather limited, though improving slowly: I can ask for a beer, say hallo, how are you, what is that, know a few colours. I can make out individual words now, rather than it seems like a verbal blur.
So your lucky to be there.
All the best, Sean.
