I am a Belgradian now
I am a Belgradian now! The day in the life of a true Belgradian…go to the farmers market, have a sip of Rakia with the farmers, grab a Burek for breakfast, stroll around the city, enjoy a beer with your neighbour, go home and prepare your meal….and Repeat!!!
Guess what I did today!
