Travelling Through Montenegro
"Lord Byron and Bernard Shaw, always spoke of Montenegro coast with sentiments; royalties such as the English princess Margaret and some of the most famous actors in the world like Sofia Loren and Kirk Douglas have visited this country, and some of the most beautiful women in the world, like Doris Day and Claudia Schiffer have walked the cobbled streets of Montenegro."

Beginning with Podgora
D.Perunicic – Empty homes, grass overgrown plots of land and 'for sale' sings are a part of the scenery that can usually be seen in Montenegrin villages in the last 15 years. Decades long lack of investment in agriculture and redemption of agricultural products created a common picture of life in the countryside: it is a difficult life with lots of hardship and work.

Belgrade
Massimo Gnone - Since last night I've wanted to share a piece of advice with all the tourists lost in Belgrade. It's no joke: there is a hotel M and a hotel N Spelt H in Cyrillic) in the Serbian capital.
