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 [...]

Here’s a shot of a barbeque (rostilj in Serbian) I went to over the weekend at a friend’s house. Although it was probably the last outside barbeque of the summer, rostilj is a Serbian speciality and is available to eat in restaurants and fast food places all year round. The sausage shaped items at the [...]

This is Resavska ulica on a sunny afternoon in Belgrade. You may recognise it from this photo I took a few months back when it was in the middle of being dug up and renovated. The street reopened to cars and trams two weeks ago (if memory serves me right). It’s much better now with [...]

Bulevar kralja Aleksandra (King Aleksandar Boulevard) again makes an appearance in the Belgrade Weekly Phone Photo Series here at BalkanFile. This is much further up the boulevard than in previous photos. If you look at the very right hand side of the photo (click to enlarge), you can see a sign for a shop selling [...]

This is the Vozdovac Municipal Hall / Town Hall building. Vozdovac is one of Belgrade’s 17 municipalities. It is a very large neighbourhood located a few kilometres south of Belgrade city centre with a population of around 150,000 and sprawling out over an area of 150 square kilometres. The municipality has agricultural areas, highly-dense residential [...]

A street lamp in a residential street in Belgrade with a mass of wires, electrical I presume, wrapped around it and heading off in all directions.

I captured this cute cat at the weekend while wandering around a part of Belgrade near the top of King Aleksandar Boulevard (Bulevar kralja Aleksandra). He or she was probably a stray and seemed very thin, though I don’t know whether that’s because of its young age or from a lack of food. S/he was [...]

This is a night time shot of Belgrade University’s Law Faculty (Pravni fakultet). The building, which is located on Bulevar krajla Aleksandra, was built before World War II and was renovated with the building of a modern annex in 1995. The faculty covers an area of 12,000 sq metres and has 60 offices, eight lecture [...]

This is Bulevar Milutina Milankovica, otherwise known as Treci bulevar (Third Boulevard) to most Belgraders – street names change far too often and most people tend to use the old ones – on a hot, summer’s day in Novi Beograd. I took this while waiting for a tram, which go and up and down in [...]

Last weekend I spent 4 days at EXIT – an annual music festival held in the Petrovaradin fortress in Novi Sad, a city 80-odd km north of Belgrade. This year’s EXIT, which began in 2000 as a protest against the Slobodan Milosevic government, was the 10th anniversary. Around 200,000 people visited it this year over [...]

This is Knez Mihailova street in central Belgrade. It joins Kalemegdan park and Terazije and is the main pedestrianised shopping street in Belgrade, with bookshops, fashion stores, jewellers and coffee shops. It’s always full of people, day and night – couples, friends and families walking up and down, doing a spot of (window) shopping and [...]

This is “Ljuba’s Butcher Shop” in Kaleniceva pijaca, one of the main Belgrade green markets (fresh produce markets). It’s located in the Vracar district of Belgrade. This is where I buy fresh meat or processed meat, like hams and sausages, unless I’ve already bought them from a supermarket. Ljuba’s is not the only meat seller [...]

It’s a grey, rainy and cold day in Belgrade today, a marked difference from the high temperatures and blazing sunshine of last week. As I went out to get some groceries this morning, I was caught by surprise by these pigeons who had set up home in my stairwell, seemingly sheltering from the weather outside. [...]

Here’s a cool cat I saw outside a pet shop just to the left of Studentski trg/Student Square on Friday. I think the pet shop owners own the cat, considering it has its own little shelter from the sun that also serves as a table for the shop’s staff on their cigarette and coffee breaks. [...]

I was eating in a restaurant opposite the Cathedral (Saborna crkva) in Belgrade this weekend and captured this shot of a wedding party leaving to go the wedding reception (the bridesmaid had just entered the car by the time I got my phone out). A Roma brass band came out of nowhere and played for [...]
