Description: Tales from a Serial Expat
During my first week in Belgrade, I set out to find Kalenic Pijaca, which is Belgrade’s largest green market, located only a few minutes walk from our home. Unfortunately, I got there too late, and it was closed. So I snapped this picture, just to confirm that it was even the right place.
All of the vendors and their colourful produce had gone. Sweepers were just finishing up for the day. It all looked very utilitarian and grey. Now when I hear from Belgrade that COVID-19 has closed all their green markets, so the above image is what I see in my mind’s eye. Such a sad thing, as the Kalenic Pijaca was such a big part of the local community. But this pandemic too will pass and it will eventually be back to its colorful self.
Kalenic Pijaca – fully loaded!
