YOU'VE MISSED YOUR LAST CHANCE
Belgrade's iconic cafe, Poslednja Shansa (Last Chance), has been bought out and is now closed for renovation. It's been bought by a person who for sure will not respect its history and its part in Belgrade's heritage. It was opened in the Sixties and was home to writers, tourists, visitors, and others who enjoyed its class and absence of loud music....Notice the Mondrian-style motif in the bar.
