We left early.
We did the 20th century walking tour. First of all - not really a tour, more like a lecture and a history class. Maybe it would be more interesting if the story was cut into smaller pieces and the tour had more stops. Secondly, we still don’t know that much of a Serbian history before the second world war and in the interwar period - much more time spent on introduction and what was happening in the 19th century. But the worst part was that the guide said he will try to be objective - but was exteremely subjective. With his opinions on Kosovo, Srebrenica massacre („was it a war crime? yes. a genocide? no.”, misinformation about the numbers of murdered people), only presenting crimes commited by Croatians during WW2 nothing about the Serbian side and more current matters like Russians emigrating to Belgrade because of the war in Ukraine (the only comment about that? yeah now we have better coffee in Belgrade). On the other hand, good explanation of current political situation and the student protests. But thats about it. We left early. Such a shame because it’s a beautiful city in a country with such complex history.
