Curious. I guess everything is in the eye of the beholder. I found that most Serbs have a real chip on their shoulder and make little effort with tourists. The city lacks any real centre with pedestrianised areas, splendid squares and fountains. Instead you find odd bits of paved spaces...

I doubt Beograd would make it onto the world's top 200, let alone the top 20. It may be cheap but it's hideously ugly and remarkably unfriendly. If we're going with former Yugoslav cities I'd say Ljubljana, Split and Dubrovnik are all infinitely more liveable than Belgrade. Zagreb is...
Echoes my sentiments entirely.
I cannot for the life of me understand why anyone would chose to live in that arrogant cesspit. Even the French hate the place
