Belgrade is usually a lively city, but not on Sunday mornings. Shtikla puts up four great photos of this "Sunday morning ghost town" feeling.

To those two persons still unaware that Google decided to scan and host entire Life magazine photo archive - this great new photo databank gives lot's of interesting opportunities for researching history. Some interesting photos of: Serbia, Yugoslavia, Bosnia, Balkans, Tito, etc, itd.

Have a look at this magical Serbia photo gallery by Tanja Perovic.

Some good links for the architecture fans out there, via We make money not art, who notify us of the new Balkan architecture exibition. Dubravka has quite a few interesting projects going on. Ljiljana Blagojevic gives great history of New Belgrade. Danica (of Belgrade and Beyond) reports on her favorite Belgrade scenes, city stores and logos.

Two great flickr photo slideshows to start the week: Tigric's black and white and 314dzi's color set. Enjoy.

I recommend two posts from one blog this time: An Experiment in Simple Soultions and When Companie Don't Want Your Money. Read them, enjoy and keep following Beating Tolstoy blog.

Amila shares her imressions of Belgrade and Serbia, from a Bosnian war refugee perspective it does not look so great:

"Although our hosts from the different Serbian NGOs did whatever they could to make us comfortable, there was nothing they could do about the radical graffiti and posters all over Belgrade. Or the daily nationalist rallies in support of Radovan Karadžić. Or simply the fact that I was always very aware that I was a Bosnian in Serbia."

These couple of tips I gave to The Guardian readers are a good sneak preview of what's coming soon at Belgraded -a series of articles entitled "Hundred things to do in Belgrade" - if you want to share some of yours top secret Belgrade tips before the first round is published, now is the time to send them along in the comments below and I'll credit you when the article is published.

Some thoughts and pictures from Jean Michele Jarre about Balkan concerts on his blog.

One good Serbian blog goes English so you can follow as well: PopKitchen brings the story of Ramush Haradinaj from the twisted Vanity Fair perspective, entitled House of War.
