Synopsis Once a symbol of Yugoslavia’s progress, Sava Centar, in Belgrade, was left to deteriorate since the country broke apart. Piece by piece, the interior elements that had characterised this cultural and congress centre since the 1970s are torn out. Like many of the younger workers involved in the reconstruction, this is Nenad’s first time here.
