Radio Televison Serbia:
At this site, you'll learn about the tragic night when 16 young individuals lost their lives during a night shift. An original building, left unrepaired, stands as a solemn memorial to commemorate this disastrous event.

Ministry of Defence:
A focal point in numerous photos documenting NATO bombing in Belgrade, the Ministry of Defense remains a key reminder of the night of April 29, 1999. The airstrikes targeted numerous military objectives, resulting in the loss of one life and damage to nearby civilian buildings.

Chinese Embassy:
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.

Central Committee of Communist Party of Yugoslavia:
The Ušće business center now occupies the same framework as the original construction, retaining the appearance of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia's CK building. Discover the intriguing history of why this structure was considered NATO missile-proof back in 1999.

Hotel Yugoslavia:
Once the pride of the Yugoslavian hospitality industry, Hotel Yugoslavia, completed in the late '60s, stood as the largest and most luxurious hotel in the region. On the fateful night when the Chinese Embassy was struck, the hotel faced three missile attacks aimed at eradicating the seat of a paramilitary group, resulting in the tragic loss of one hotel guest.

Air Force Command Building:
The last stop on the tour is the Air Force Command Building, a pinnacle of Yugoslavian and Serbian architecture dating back to 1935. Despite its status as a strategic objective, it endured the impact of two missiles on April 5, 1999.

After the formal itinerary is completed we will take you to one of Zemun’s cafes to summarize impressions (optional). After the tour, you’ll be taken to your drop-off point.
