Activity itinerary

RTS - Radio Television of Serbia
  • 30m
First stop after pickup is the RTS building. Here by the monument "Zašto?" (Why?) you’ll hear a disturbing storey about the night when 16, mostly young people, got killed during the night shift. There is an original building still standing on the site, unrepaired, as a memorial to this disastrous event.
Ministry of Defence
  • 30m
This is the most common site on various photos related to NATO bombing in Belgrade. The Ministry of Defence is still reminder on the night of 29th of April 1999 when many military objectives were hit. As a consequence of this action one person lost its life and many civilian buildings in the vicinity were damaged.
Poslovni centar Ušće
  • 30m
Former Central Committee of Communist Party of Yugoslavia is nowadays Business centre Ušće. It stands today on the same skeleton of the original construction and with the same appearance of the original building of CK of Communist Party of Yugoslavia. You’ll learn why this building was NATO missile proof back in 1999 and what was the reason in the first place to be hit.
Chinese Cultural Center
  • 30m
Former Chinese embassy is probably the most controversial bombing site in Belgrade from the ’99 campaign. The Embassy was allegedly bombed as a result of an intelligence mistake, but it’s suspected it had a completely different purpose. Whatever the reasons were, four Chinese citizens died on the night of 7th of May 1999.
Hotel Jugoslavija
  • 30m
The hotel was once the pride of Yugoslavian hospitality industry. Completed in the late 60s it was the biggest and most luxurious hotel in the region. On the same night when the Chinese Embassy was hit, Hotel Yugoslavia was bombed with three missiles in order to eliminate the seat of the paramilitary group. It eliminated one guest of the hotel.
Air Force Command Building
  • 30m
Air Force Command Building is the final stop on the tour. This 1935 edifice represented a pearl of Yugoslavian and Serbian architecture. As a strategic objective it was hit with two missiles on 5th of April 1999. Here you'll learn from the guide about the pilots who knowingly engaged in the fight and lost their lives defending sky above Serbia and Yugoslavia against much mightier NATO air force.
