parking zones! The parking patrol officers will be only too ready to fine you
as soon as you leave your car, if they happen to be around. Over the last
three months, when you sent an SMS message to pay for parking, you often
received an SMS beginning with “Zao nam je…” meaning that the system
failed to accept your payment (example).
However, if you resent your SMS, you received an SMS confirming the
payment (“U BEOGRADU za vozilo…” - example) giving the exact time when
your parking would expire (a detailed description of parking zones and
paying for parking in Belgrade is given in the guidebook). New parking
rates: Red zone - 37,50 dinars; Yellow zone - 26,50 dinars; Green zone -
21,50 dinars.

● We recommend Serbian specialties at "Suri" Restaurant. This is the most
expensive of all restaurants serving traditional Serbian dishes (price range
for main courses EUR 10-13). We suggest that you set aside at least two
hours for a visit to this restaurant and try "gibanica" with "kiselo mleko"
(thick natural yoghurt), "Momacki bokcaluk", "Suri ćevapčići" and (if you are
still hungry) "jagnjetina ispod sača" (lamb meat roasted under an iron bell
on coal and ashes). A glass of raspberry of blueberry juice is a must order.
It will cost you the price of a whiskey, but it will be about the best juice you
have ever had in you life. For a finale, if you are in a larger crowd, order
"Čudo Mida Klisurac" pancakes, but ask for one serving only! This dessert
costs like a main-course dish, but is large enough to indulge half a dozen
people.

● Belgrade Zoo has a new arrival – a white buffalo
  – the only one in Europe. In Belgrade zoo you can
  also see white lions and a white wallaby (a kind of
  kangaroo).

● Over the past year, the hit song in Belgrade
restaurants has been "Ko te ima taj te nema".

You can hear it in "Manjež" /Manyezh/ restaurant Fridays to Tuesdays, after
8 pm. We suggest you try kolenica /pork hock/ and draught beer in
"Manjež". Svetozara Markovića 46 (F6 quadrant on our map of Belgrade);
