Towards the end of last year, Marina Chetner nominated belgradestreets for a "Versatile Blogger Award". So, the time has come (well actually I am really rather late...) to say a big thank you for that recognition and enter into the spirit of the Award. I was surprised and delighted to receive the nomination and it … Continue reading the versatile blogger award…
My first post of 2012. A rather late post. So, will keep words to a minimum. More to come.
The Bajrakli Mosque is the main feature of gospodar jevremova in Dorćol. According to wikipedia the mosque was built around 1575, and is the only one surviving from the 273 that existed during the Ottoman Empire's rule of Serbia. Wikipedia goes on to say that "...during the occupation of Serbia by the Austrians (between 1717 … Continue reading gospodar jevremova

This week's post features images shot during a short walk along the banks of the Danube in Zemun. Perhaps not strictly belgradestreets but certainly within walking distance. Well worth the walk. Zemun is a world away from the bloks of New Belgrade. It is easy to spend time wandering its cobbled streets, peering into the … Continue reading kej oslobođenja
скадарска, in the heart of Dorćol lies the street also known as the "Bohemian quarter". On Summer evenings the streets is alive with Belgraders relaxing, dining, drinking, talking....and smoking.
