People call me Laki. I'm 22. I like architecture, photography and bicycling. Born in Belgrade and lived here ever since.

Belgrade is a capital of south-eastern Europe in many ways. It's my hometown that I love unconditionally. If coming here, be careful! You will easily fall in love. Only a nasty criticizing attitude can save you, but if you're like that, don't come. We like compliments.

“Сличне ствари се дешавају и данас. Данас је актуелна и судбина Добровићевог дела, зграде Генералштаба, недалеко од Савског трга, на раскрсници Немањине улице и Улице кнеза Милоша, коме прети можда иста сурова судбина рушења због несхватања његовог значаја. Да ли смо ишта научили из својих грешака? Или пак нисмо, па и даље чинимо исте? И лутамо кроз време и простор и заборављамо оно што нас описује и краси. Морамо поштовати себе, како би нас и други поштовали и уважавали.”

Soc-Realism in Belgrade Architecture - STILL IN BELGRADE

From Belgrader: “A business beehive during the DAY and a loved party destination during the NIGHT, New Belgrade is a jewel of European modernism and one of the most contemporary, future-embracing neighborhoods in the region.”

From WTF to OMFG - Communist Architecture of New Belgrade, Serbia

“Although Belgrade, the capital of modern day Serbia, is geographically a stones throw from Novi Beograd, the two cities are utterly opposed in disposition. The communist era architects and town planners built Novi Beograd with a ruthless lack of sympathy towards the old historic core of Belgrade. Classical and elegant – versus brutal, exacting, and autocratically monumental. Down to it’s name, the new Belgrade was designed and planned to be absolutely contemporary.”
