City Less Ordinary is a new venture by Liceulice. It’s a biannual magazine that gives you an insider’s perspective on Serbia in its full complexity: the good, the bad, the wonderful, and the overlooked. No filters, and no need for Google Translate – whether you are just here for a few days or longer, consider Serbia your home away from home; we want you to be able to walk its streets and understand them too.
The first issue of City Less Ordinary (Spring/Summer 2026) is waiting for you in the hands of our street vendors, and inside you will find:
- a breakdown of the long and tumultuous history of our country’s capital and the eclectic architecture that came from it, by art historian and professor emerita Irina Subotić;
- a brief introduction to Yugoslavia, its heritage, and the many meanings it still carries in our community nowadays by Dubravka Stojanović, historian and co-founder of the Museum of the Nineties;
- a conversation with members of the vibrant Russian community that has settled in Serbia since the start of the war in Ukraine, led by our staff reporter Stefan Slavković;
- a feminist tour of Belgrade, exploring the street names and monuments named after women, by our editor Dunja Karanović;
- the phenomenon of ‘investor urbanism’ that’s rapidly changing urban landscapes across the globe, explained by spatial justice researcher Jovana Timotijević;
- an in-depth analysis of lithium mining in Serbia and large-scale protests against the global mining industry giant Rio Tinto by researcher and activist Predrag Momčilović
- an insight into the largely invisible and overlooked heritage of Novi Sad’s queer community by journalist and activist Vanja Petrović;
