Just saw this in the pub, and it made me smile. Great to meet those that I did.

I recognize 2 of the people in that pic, I think from the Wales v Bosnia game in 2015-ish. Is the one in the yellow shirt a member of the Barry Horns?

Yup. You know him?

It's mainly non-football-related. There are elections on Sunday, and the run-up always brings the thugs onto the streets. There were no problems when Spurs or the Dippers played here in recent seasons. Also, one of the Wales away supporters' key organisers is based in Belgrade, and is well...

I'm in Gunners having a morning pint, if anyone is at a loose end.

That's not necessarily true. I saw the window of a pet shop near me get accidentally broken by some kids horsing around. One pushed another into the window from the outside, and only the inside pane broke. The outside glass is possibly more resistant/flexible. I wasn't there so can't say for...

This is more related to the upcoming elections. Like I said in one of my first posts, safety would be hit or miss (as in it could be safer than normal or less safe than normal) because of the elections coming up on Sunday. This happens at pretty much every anti-government or pro-civil liberties...

Student Square is Studentski Trg, that I mentioned above. One more place people might enjoy for nightlife is Cetinjska (a bit more urban/less touristy vibe than Skadarlija), and some of the bars on Strahinjica Bana are popular, too. I'm popping into the centre tonight, so may bump in to some...

I tend to round up by the hundred for tips, and use the small notes in my local bakery every morning, because they're always desperate for change.

If you've got the 3000 dinar voucher, you go to the one at the front. If the voucher office is closed and you're confident enough, you can argue with the drivers that you don't have any trust in their company and insist in going with one from a reputable one.

I think that Raiffeisen has the highest fee, but again part of it depends on when their software was last updated. Like I said, I don't use foreign cards here so can't really give decent advice.

Haha, yeah, I should have mentioned what the money's like! The yellow and green notes (10 and 20 RSD) are a nightmare to keep track of. Get rid of them at the first opportunity, because they'll multiply like Gremlins throughout the course of the day. Also, if you're nice, try to keep payment...

Never been to Spasicev myself, and I tend to avoid 3 Carrots, because it gets crowded and smoky. Plato is a bit 'fancier' (think more Pizza Express than your typical bar - it's only really a place for away fans to be gathered before a game, rather than somewhere to go for more than 2 pints), and...

If you have the time, head to an exchange office called 'TrangeFrange' - they do a much better rate on GBP. There are 4 around the town: one not far from Red Star's stadium, one close to Kalenic kafana (arguably the best traditional restaurant in the city, in my opinion), and 2 more. But I don't...

I honestly don't know how Revolut works, so I can't tell you about that. Probably the cheapest thing to do (excluding Revolut) would be to change GBP>EUR in the UK, then EUR>RSD here, to be honest. Otherwise, you can withdraw cash at a cashpoint in the airport here, and use that, but you'll be...

One more thing for people arriving in advance - Bryan Adams is playing in the arena on New Belgrade the night before the game, so bars are likely to be a bit livelier/open later on Tuesday night than Wednesday, as the crowds re-enter the town after the concert finishes.

Depends on what you want. - The cheapest I know of in the wider city is 115 RSD (84p). - The cheapest I know in the city centre is (I think) 190 RSD (£1.40). - Average in the city centre is around 250-280 RSD (touching on £2). - For a decent micro-brew, expect in the region of 350-420 RSD (or...

Walk to a place marked as 'Taksi stajalište Mlekara' on Google Maps, and catch one from one of the regular companies' cabs waiting there. I gave the list of reliable firms above.

Just had a quick look at bus routes from the EDS game back to the centre, and it's not as chaotic as I'd feared: the number 26 route shouldn't be affected by road closures. You can catch the bus outside the north-eastern side of the stadium (on Zaplanjska street), in the direction of the centre...

3000 RSD if using the voucher system. If the voucher system desk is closed (I think it closes around 20:00, but I might have just been there on an 'off day' when I was last there at the end of October), you can agree a price with the driver beforehand (this should be 3000), or agree to being...
