About Belgrade
by Prasnjavi
"The sky above Belgrade is wide and high, unstable but always beautiful; even during winter serenities with their icy splendour; even during summer storms when the whole of it turns into a single gloomy cloud which, driven by the mad wind, carries the rain mixed with the dust of panonian plain; even in spring when it seems that it also blooms, along with the ground; even in autumn when it grows heavy with the autumn stars in swarms. Always beautiful and rich, as a compensation to this strange town for everything that isn't there, and a consolation because of everything that shouldn't be there.
But the greatest splendour of that sky above Belgrade, that are the sunsets. In autumn and in summer, they are broad and bright like desert mirages, and in winter they are smothered by murky clouds and dark red hazes. And in every time of year frequently come the days when the flame of that sun setting in the plain, between the rivers beneath Belgrade, gets reflected way up in the high celestial dome, and it breaks there and pours down over the scattered town. Then, for a moment, the reddish tint of the sun paints even the remotest corners of Belgrade and reflects into the windows, even of those houses it otherwise poorly illuminates".

The Parliament
by Aurorae
This is the federal Parliament building (skupština). It is the most "unwanted" place, as it is the source of all the crap that is going on in this country :)) in fact, not anymore, since the union between Serbia & Montenegro is just a formality, and this place is just a picturesque building nowadays.
it was the most popular during the "revolution" of 5th of October 2000, when Miloševic' was finally kicked out, as there was a huge protest in front of it, with tear gas, police, running demonstrants and people breaking inside (my minority suffered from a tear gas troubles!) and eventually a man entered inside with a tractor!?!?!?
