Belgrade, SERBIA

BELGRADE, at the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers, is one of Europe’s oldest capitals. At the crossroads of East and West, the city has been shaped successively by the Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian empires, as witnessed by the Kalemegdan fortress, which overlooks the meeting of the two rivers.

The capital of Serbia, Belgrade is also the country’s political and economic center and the leading business hub of the Western Balkans. The city has embarked on a far-reaching modernization, driven in particular by the Belgrade Waterfront project on the banks of the Sava and by the rapid growth of a thriving digital sector. The capital of a candidate country for European Union membership, at the crossroads of the Western, Russian and Asian worlds, Belgrade embodies in its own right the great questions of fragmentation and interdependence that run through today’s world.
