ABC Wednesday "J" is for "Jugoexport"



The 'j' in Jugoexport is pronounced as a 'Y'. Be that as it may, Jugoexport is one of the most renowned fashion houses in the country, and is now experiencing its renaissance on the domestic market. This is a close-up of part of its sign that stands atop its building just off of Belgrade's pedestrian street, Knez Mihailova.
