It's 20 years since the Berlin Wall was torn down and to celebrate the occassion, various art performances are being held all across Europe. In Belgrade, German artist Frank Botler has built a replica of the wall, this time made out of cardboard bricks and invited Belgraders to contribute by writing grafitti on one side of the wall. See how it all looks like at Goran Necin's site [pictures and video]. (comment on Cardboard Wall)

Belgrade - Sarajevo direct train will be operational again from Dec 13th 2009, reports Biznis.ba. The train line was cancelled back in 1992, right after the war broke out. It used to take 8 hours to get to Sarajevo from Belgrade, I wonder how long it will take now? (comment on Belgrade to Sarajevo by train after 17 years)

First of all, here's the freshest Belgrade clubbing guide you can find right now (as of October 2009, via Vi är Serbiens hjärta blog). Venues change addresses, close down, open, re-open and what not. Here at Belgraded I also have difficulty tracking down and updating new and outdated clubs and venues, so until then, this should do perfectly.
Second of all, here's another fresh guide [pdf] to not only clubbing, but various things of interest in Belgrade - restaurants, tourist highlights etc. It's made by Designed, a Serbian community of young designers, so pay them a visit as well. (comment on Fresh Belgrade clubbing and living guides)
