Impressions of Belgrade and Serbia and maybe photos from an in-country trip by a long-term ex-pat.

The Victor is back
The statue of the Victor that stood in Kalemegdan Park is back. It had been temporarily removed for refurbishing and today was returned to its elevated pedestal.
Many thanks to my friend Marianne who took these shots!
I have shown you the Victor several times, but if you go here, you can read about the statue's history and upgrade.
When you view The Victor now up on its pedestal, you'll notice the pedestal leans somewhat. The restorers have only reinforced the pedestal, afraid that if they righted it, it might crack.

It looks like his return brought out quite a crowd.
