Belgrade Old Railway Station — Attraction in City of Belgrade

It was the place that i used to love, a central railway station, in the heart of Belgrade. Once a busy station, now turned to a ghost town... In every European city that i have visited till this very day, there are existing and functional central railway stations, and now, someone is trying to convince me, that it is not a viable concept of modern urban living? Please, explain me Rome, Vienna, Budapest, Berlin, Paris, London, explain me how do those magnificent european capitals are coping with that problem, how do they keep going on, with that enormous burden, of working railway, in the depths of their...

Kao rodjena Beogradjanka, ciji su cukun rodjaci jos 1867 sahranjeni na Novom groblju u Beogradu, osecam da je Beograd ne samo moj rodni grad, nego i duboki koren koji seže do mojih najtananijih i najlepsih delova bića. I zato...neizmernu zahvalnost dugujem svima onima koji su odlucili, nasli novac da se spomenik napravi, umetniku koji je divnom vizijom naseg Prvovencanog ukrasio i uvelicao ovaj vazni deo naseg grada. Pozdravljam nastavak radova na daljem osmisljavanju ovog prostora i cuvanju od zaborava nasih velikana, koji i nas cine velikima. A svima onima, koji su se juce Balkanskom ulicom popeli do Terazija sa punim koferom kompleksa, praziluka, neznanja, losih namera....da ovde bacaju djubre po ulicama, bore se za socijalnu pomoc, laktaju za radna mesta i stanove, kupuju diplome....i pljuju po tudjem secanju, postovanju i neizmernom radu i trudu da sve bude leose i bolje...e njima porucujem da se slobodno vrate svojim korenima i pokusaju da u nekom manjem gradu ili selu budu to sto su bili njihovi preci, posteni tezaci, trgovci, bravari..a ne pokvarene i pokondirene supljoglave i zlobne tikve! Ziveo Beograd sa pravim Beogradjanima, onim vekovnim ali i onim koji su juce dosli sa ljubavlju prema njemu i iskrenom zeljom da nam se pridruze i ucine nas i grad boljim nego sto je danas. Zivela Srbija i njena...

The monument is interesting. Further detailed observation will be in order to talk more about it symbolically and artistically, but overall the square is neat. Maybe a bit too neat, would like some benches and more greenery, I don't prefer such places that are just concrete and empty space. Some fountains would be great! I think it's generally nice, could be a meet-up point and sightseeing spot for...
