Exploring NATO Tomahawk Urban Remodeling in Belgrade, Serbia

The scars of war from over a decade ago can still be seen in the very center of Belgrade. It is haunting to see the impact of modern military weaponry on urban buildings and relive a time when the night air was punctuated with the sounds of blaring warning sirens and bombs blasting, while curfewed Belgraders took shelter or gathered outside to watch the pyrotechnics from afar. The imposing, grim-looking buildings—like the still half-collapsed Army Headquarters—are a unique feature of the Belgrade cityscape and an important part of local history, although the surly local military guards tend to not appreciate camera-trigger-happy tourists.
