The 23 commercial airports in the former Yugoslavia handled a combined total of 21.001.155 passengers during the first three quarters of the year, with several already well ahead of their pre-Covid performance including Pristina, Sarajevo, Zadar, Banja Luka and Portorož. Other airports, such as Niš are closing in on their pre-Covid results, with the airport just 8.000 travellers behind its 2019 performance. Portorož continues to maintain its position as Slovenia’s second busiest airport, however, unlike its two other counterparts in the country, it is achieving record results. Banja Luka Airport has already achieved its busiest year on record, surpassing every annual end-of-year result by late July.
Airport performance, January - September 2022
Skopje Airport has now reached 90.4% of its pre-Covid figures. The General Manager of airport operator TAV Macedonia, Metin Batak, said, “We are satisfied with the recovery of air traffic at both Skopje and Ohrid airports this year. When European Union member countries, where more than 75% of the Macedonian air traffic is concentrated, gradually started to lift travel restrictions relating to Covid-19 for Macedonian passport holders, the increase in air traffic was immediate. An additional boost to the growth in passenger numbers was the strong increase in seasonal flights during the peak summer months at both Skopje and Ohrid airports”.
European airport rank based on passenger traffic, January - September 2022
On other hand, passenger numbers at Tivat Airport are down 54.2% on its 2019 pre-pandemic traffic levels. As a result, it saw 667.882 fewer passengers on three years ago. The figure is also below last year’s result. The airport is dealing with the loss of several key markets as a result of the conflict in Ukraine. Previously, Russia was Tivat’s biggest market, with both Ukraine and Belarus also contributing a sizeable number of passengers. Maribor, which has no commercial flights, is the former Yugoslavia’s least busiest airport. Although it was to see its first commercial services this summer with a series of flights from Bolzano, Naples and Pisa, operated by Sky Alps, all were cancelled due to low demand.

So this year there will be 9 airports with over 1 million passengers. I think that's a first.
ReplyDeleteThere used to be because once upon a time Ljubljana had over 1 million passengers.
DeletePortoroz is doing really well. If they get flights next year as planned I could see them getting close to 100,000 passengers.
ReplyDeleteYes, and with the new terminal and the extension of the runway, POW can even surpass LJU in summer season!
DeleteI wouldn't be surprised.
DeleteNot bad at all
ReplyDeletePRN and ZAG are neck and neck. Wonder who will have more passengers by the end of the year.
ReplyDeletePRN has a strong December because of the gasto traffic. It will definitely be close. We will see.
DeleteHow many passengers will Zagreb have this year?
Delete3 to 3.1 million.
DeleteZAG will have at least 315.000 for October (estimate based on verified numbers for up to date) which makes it likely that it will reach 3.100.000 pax for 2022.
DeleteThis year Zagreb~
Delete2022 - 3.07 million~
2023 - 3.6 million~
2024 - 4.1 million~
2025 - 4.6 million~
It's so sad that it is all over for Sarajevo with Wizz packing up :(
ReplyDeleteHopefully they find a replacement.
DeleteEven if they do find a replacement in the form of Ryanair, they won't start flights before next summer.
DeleteA clear winner in Europe is Russia. Only 3.5 in minus, yet there is a war, COVID and literally no European airline flying there (except TK and JU). How??
ReplyDeleteThey have a huge domestic market, more people are travelling domestically plus their traffic flow changed. The gazillion flights per day to Turkey on wide bodies are enough to replace many European flights they had.
DeleteEven before pandemic their passenger numbers where bad.
Delete^ No that's not the case.
DeleteI know there is a strong domestic market but still. I would not have thought that this would manage to substitute the loss of so many airlines and flights.
DeleteRusi su povecali broj letova u zemlji mnogo i spustili cene. Eto kako.
DeleteGood recovery by most
ReplyDeleteSkopje still has room for improvement, the catchment area is excellent, they just need to work in bringing more routes and the government needs to work on improving the road connections with the neighborhood countries
ReplyDeleteI wonder if SKP will overtake DBV this year. I think it is doable.
DeleteSKP would have to have an extremely strong winter to do that. I don't think it will be possible.
DeleteDBV is dead in winter
DeleteIt's not completely dead. Yes, it is quiet but this winter we have Freebird charters, British Airways and Aegean.
Deletebtw Skopje was partially closed for 2-3 months. I think thatswhy DBV will be ahead of SKP for a few thousands of pax
DeleteDubrovnik was always ahead of Skopje, by about 700k in 2019, for example… so not a new thing
Delete530k and not in 2020 and 2021
DeleteTivat is really in bad situation
ReplyDeleteIt looks like it will be one of the rare airports with fewer passengers than last year.
DeleteOh Ljubljana... :(
ReplyDeleteIf you look at the map, only sanctioned Belarus is performing worse than the Slovenian market.
DeleteI wonder does anyone in the Slovenian government look at these numbers? Why doesn't any journalist ask the Minister in charge for transport why we are the worst in Europe.
DeleteMost of the public doesn't care and most of the media is writing how LJU had a fantastic summer...
DeleteThanks for these numbers
ReplyDeleteNis is getting close to Tuzla
ReplyDeleteNot for long. Next year Wizz will be increasing ops from Tuzla since they are closing down Sarajevo.
DeleteNis is getting some new flights too. JU is starting Zurich and Wizz will increase frequnecies next summer.
DeleteIt won't be able to catch up to TZL. I see Tuzla eventually handling a million passengers.
DeleteJU will for sure be increasing flights to INI next year. I think INI-ZRH will return in the summer and not just operate the several flights this winter. Charters will increase. I also wouldn't be surprised to see INI-IST increased to 3-4 pw.
DeleteWith these RYR flights from 1st november and maybe new routes in summer from TZL and increase of Wizz flight, I dont think that INI will catch TZL next year
DeleteIt's like almost every single person flew once if you take into account the total population before the breakup
ReplyDeleteHahaaha, good point.
DeleteCongrats to Banja Luka. Knowing where the airport was just a few years ago, these are excellent results.
ReplyDeleteThere just may be something in that chatter about BNX affecting ZAG
DeleteCould the same be said for Rijeka?
DeleteNo. BNX is growing. RJK is declining.
DeleteGood results overall.
ReplyDeleteLooking at the map, how come Finland is still so affected compared to Covid years?
ReplyDeleteNo Asian transfers due to Covid and Russian air space ban.
DeleteMakes sense
DeleteZadar is doing amazing. Thanks Ryanair.
ReplyDeleteAnd they already handled the millionth passenger
Deletehttps://www.exyuaviation.com/2022/10/zadar-airport-handles-millionth.html
So BEG is the only ex-Yu airport that will be in Europe's top 100 this year?
ReplyDeleteYes
DeleteI'm hoping one day an ex-Yu airport will reach top 50.
DeleteBEG will manage one day.
DeleteLast year we only had 2 in the top 100 and before Covid just 1. So we are going back to the pre-Covid order.

PRN growth this year is out of charts
ReplyDeleteFor me the most impressive is the growth on the Albanian market.
DeleteTIA, 3.937.306 jan-sep
DeleteOh wow! Will TIA overtake BEG? The difference is not huge at all!
DeleteThe growth on the Albanian markt is impressive,but I think the past 7-10 years they have been really sleeping.With great management they could achieved this earlier. TIA was operating a long time under it's potential but it seem they finaly woke up a couple years ago.
DeleteTIA, 3.937.306
DeleteBEG, 4.177.235
Find it surreal that TIA has reached BEG levels!
TIA wont overtake BEG. TIA is coming close but growth will slow down. Wizz went crazy with their expansion in TIA, going from 0 to 9 aircraft based in TIA within 2 years. That trend of rapid expansion won't continue. Similar to what we saw in SOF when FR and Wizz started competing there. TIA is going to need serious investments to accommodate larger pax growth to overtake BEG. The airport is quite crowded as it is. What might slow growth further in TIA is once the airport in Vlora opens. An airport in Saranda is also in the works, with 36 million Euros set for its construction in 2023. These 2 airports will eat into TIA pax numbers as alot of the growth is in the sea side summer vacation market, with Albanian beaches becoming increasingly popular.
DeleteMeanwhile, BEG is returning to pre Covid levels and is set to surpass it next year. BEG is currently undergoing a massive expansion, with the first phase doubling capacity. JU has given us hints the past couple of days of a large expansion next year, possibly its largest since rebranding. Number of aircraft in their fleet is expected to grow on from the 2019 number, with larger capacity (B733 replaced with A320's).
Interesting times ahead for both countries.
I am not sure about this one, JATBEGMEL. If you take a look at TIA's summer Wizz timetable for 2023 they have many many routes that will be operated at least daily such as BCN, DTM, FMM. MXP. Yes, Kukes is also operating but TIA remains their entry destination and think we cannot underestimate it. Also if Albania joins EU one day, things will change even more.
Delete@15,34
DeleteThere will be increases in TIA, absolutely, but not as massive as 9 aircraft in 2 years by 1 airline alone, the point being made. Growth will be there, but not as rapid.
Kukes I dont see being a threat to TIA. Location of the airport is quite limiting, with high terrain, limited equipment, no lighting, no ILS and frequent poor visibility in winter.
As for the EU, I wouldn't hold my breath. I see the Open Balkan initiative to be the closest thing to the EU as we will get.
I also doubt TIA will surpass BEG. Valona Airport opening in 2024 is projected to handle more passengers than TIA itself in the upcoming years.
DeleteComplete bs
DeleteWill definitely be watching TIA's trend and will not underestimate its growth by any means. Having daily LCC flights to big European cities is an achievement. Also, Polish tourists seem to play an important role in TIA. Saw many charters this summer similar to Burgas or Hurghada for example.
DeleteSJJ is definitely catching up with SKP. If Wizzair were also subsidised the same way as in SKP, the situation would've been quite different in SJJ.
ReplyDeleteIt would have probably overtaken Skopje some time next year. But with Wizz leaving, it is not looking likely now.
DeleteBro, BiH is such a beautiful country similar to all the Balkan states led by lazy, corrupt and selfish politicians. All of the world loves the Balkans because it is still authentic and original compared to the soyboy, genderised Western Europe losing its charm.
DeleteI hope at least Ryanair step in SJJ because today you cannot really rely on Wizzair. They have opened their Maltese division (copying Ryanair) this month and probably looking into newer markets with less competition such as North Africa.
What ifs/houlda coulda woulda comments - absolutely no point in such comments
DeleteIt's an aviation site. We are discussing how things could have turned out. Don't see a problem with that.
DeleteLOL. Let me fix it: If Sarajevo subsidied Wizz in the same way Skopje did they would never have opened a base in SJJ. Macedonian subsidies are the lowest in all ExYu. When will the last troll finally catch it? 3mio€ for 3years for 30(+) routes ... Go and figure out ... 100.000€ for a route for 3 years? Nice try!
DeleteDoes Bosnia gives any subsidizes to Wizz or Raynair? The subsidezes in SKP are very low on avarage €0,86 per ticket .That is peanuts if you need to support all routes,but in reality they are only used on 5 routes. These are Billund, Turku,Turin,Malta and Vaxjo. They are seasonal now, so they still make a little profit on these routes probably.
DeletePeople do not understand that Wizzair receive very nice subsidies from SKP. Perhaps the only airport in ex-Yu not receiving any cuts in winter. What a coincidence.
DeleteSJJ on the other hand lowered its airport fees but does not subsidise Wizzair.
Well Wizz is suspending three routes in SKP this winter.
Delete@13.01 very nice subsidies? It was explained to you in detail but you wont even read or listen. And what is reducing fees if not a different form for subventions... SJJ fanboys are only searching for an excuse that their base didnt work out
DeleteIs this why the SKP fanboys are crying about not receiving any Gulf connections due to the lack of demand or not being able to even secure basic Lufthansa flights to MUC or FRA.
Delete13:01 I have never flown from SJJ but Wizzair flights from SKP have always an good pax on board. Wizzair doesn't have real competition in SKP. So there is no reason for Wizzair to terminate routes. Besides in SKP only routes are subsidezed that are close to healthy pax. For Example if Wizzair wants a minimum pax of 80% it would be stupid to subsidze a route that has on avarage 30% pax without subsidizes. But it would be very smart to subsidize a route that has an average pax of 75% without subsidizes. It would be very bad to lose a whole route becasue you don't want to subsidize for those 5% shortage. I honestly think that the 3 new routes from Raynair at Tuzla led to the decision from Wizzair to terminate 80% of the routes in Sarajevo.
Delete14:57 Why so toxic. Ofcource Wizzair is not always fair agianst the balkan markets.The same also goes for SKP. But terminating some routes is not the same as closing a whole market. SJJ is the only one that got more than 75% of their routes terminated. Ofcource partly Wizzair is to blame for this but it has also something to do with demand. Even though we have no gulf flights,no Lufthansa,smaller diaspora, less tourists,half of population from Bosnia the Macedonian market has more passengers than the Bosnian one. But that is not important. It's important that every country in ex yugo tries to get the maximum out of their potential.
DeleteSimply think that BiH has way much to offer compared to North Macedonia. Traffic in SKP today is mainly gasto. Even routes to Moscow and Ukraine did not go wel in the past.
DeleteRestoring Gulf connections was also a pure challenge during the last 2 years. In summer you sometimes receive up to 3 daily flights from Dubai in Sarajevo.
Bosnia has more tourist than Macedonia. Bosnia received 600k foerign tourists first 8 months and Macedonia received 350k the first 8 months. Both are low so it's silly to speak about gasto when Bosnia has actually a bigger diaspora and the tourist numbers are both low. If Wizzair would have had a large share of european tourist at SJJ they would have stayed in SJJ and not went to Tuzla, which serves the Bosnian diaspora much better.
Deleteexcept for the Gulf routes in summer everything else is pretty much gasto on all of 3 BiH airports
Delete@22.50 Personaly I think Ohrid and the lake beats everything i have seen in Bosnia. No wonder there are charter flights to OHD
November and December should be extremely strong in BEG
ReplyDeleteI think November will actually overtake pre-Covid numbers.
DeleteYes, the end of the year will be quite strong with Air Serbia keeping most of the new routes it launched this summer over winter, plus the new flights to China coming up.
DeleteBravo Hrvatska!
ReplyDeleteMostar deserves better.
ReplyDeleteAn airport hostage to politics.
DeleteIf only the politicians could look past their own nose. Such potential wasted.
DeleteAnd Rijeka, double less than Nis, Banja Luka and Tuzla, less than Ohrid. What a shame, it could be at least triple
ReplyDeleteWhat are the prospects for Rijeka in the future. I always thought it would develop as a low cost alternative to ZAG , considering its proximity but it never really happened.
DeleteMali Losinj?
DeleteThey should attract Wizzair
DeleteRijeka, you surely meant to say ‘less than half’!?
DeleteNo, I meant to say double less. Less than half can be any number less than half, so if we talk about 300.000 compared airports had, less than half can be any number less than 150.000, 70.000 for example, or 20.000. Anything "manje of polovice". Double less is much more exact, it's 150.000 which RJK had related to 300.000 of compared airports. When you talk about translation, substance, content, has priority over the form. If you translate numbers, translation should reflect numbers exactness, not the "spirit of language", " duh jezika", providing translatable and understandable, which is the case here
DeleteHow many of BEG and ZAG pax are transit pax that are counted twice?
ReplyDeleteWould love to see a list for O&D pax in the ExYu. SPU is gonna get closer to BEG and SKP for instance can be even with ZAG.
They are counted twice at every airport in this work because that’s how traffic stats work - you count pax that pay fees and transfer pax basically pay the airport fees twice so they are counted twice.
Deleteof course thats the way how traffic stats work :) but it also shows how strong SPU, PRN, DBV and SKP are without a single tranfer pax
DeleteWell it is not true that they don't have a single transfer passenger. For example, Skopje this year had 3043 transfer passengers. But for an airport to be successful, it needs to have a developed transfer network.
DeleteAre you basically implying LHR, FRA and similar are not that strong since they have a lot of transfer pax?
DeleteNope not at all, Im only interested in ExYu O&D charts just for a comparison
Delete11:43 I am curious what your source is of these statistics of SKP. Or are this just random numbers,
DeleteIt's not random numbers. It is listed on the Macedonian Statistical Agency office website. This is numbers January-September. They have a special category which lists transfer passengers by month.
DeleteNo I was just curious honestly 3043 sound a lot for SKP. Becasue if we look honestly for who can SKP offer transfers. Maybe for Vaxjo becasue they have only two Wizzair destanations.
DeleteIf Portorž would have long enough runway, Ryanair would have summer base established by now. Those numbers are impressive - especially without any scheduled routes
ReplyDeletewith Triest around the corner?
DeleteYeah, right, LCC base for 20 kilometers of coast. And not only Trieste and Venice and Treviso but Pula and Rijeka as well around the corner. And even some LCC traffic at Ljubljana as well.
DeleteBelgrade is really increasing it's lead over the rest.
ReplyDeleteTrue dat but BEG also has a significant number of transfers up to 60% perhaps. SPU or PRN obviously both have a much higher percent of O&D traffic yet still have very good numbers compared to their sizes.
DeleteCan you stop writing nonsense about 60% transfer traffic? You fabricated this number just now for reasons only known to you. Neither do you have anything to back up this senseless claim. Is it jealousy or what for you to blatantly make something up?
DeleteLet him be. Its always something. Its either routes to/from Belgrade are empty and operating for political reasons, for migrants and now purely for transfer passengers. I remember in 2014 and 2015 when Belgrade was adding one million passengers per year there were people here making up that the numbers are fabricated because they couldn't deal with it. You will always have clowns like that.
DeleteWhat is wrong with having transfer traffic? The same happens with DOH for instance. Many people use it as a transfer airport. Also, Air Serbia has taken this policy converting Belgrade into a regional hub. The last example is from last month where they reacted following Wizzair's decision in SJJ.
Deletehttps://www.exyuaviation.com/2022/10/air-serbia-sees-busiest-september.html
What is wrong is that you fabricated a number that is so off base.
DeleteOk, let it be less than 60% but you still cannot deny the fact the Belgrade also relies on transfer traffic and those numbers are also because of it. This can easily be seen with the busy droves to neighbouring or closer capitals at the same time. It is just strange that you find it something negative to have transfer traffic.
DeleteI find it negative that you blatantly make up numbers. Throwing around 60%, 50% and stating at as some kind of fact. The number of transfer passengers is actually much lower than the exaggerated numbers you are posting here. If you don't know something, then don't go as far as making things up.
DeleteAgain, I am trying to back my sources with facts. Air Serbia has a 55% market share in Belgrade:
Deletehttps://www.exyuaviation.com/2022/09/air-serbia-eyes-profitability-in-2022.html
You perfectly know that its aim is to have as much transfer traffic as possible. Don't you read the news here everyday? Their various attempts of launching Toronto, Havana and so on. To fill those planes, you need transfers.
Also you say the number of transfers is "much lower", do you have any source?
Back what sources? You have no sources you just made up a number and are claiming it as fact. Belgrade Airport said 3 years ago that the number of transfer passengers makes up about 30% of their total passenger numbers. But keep fabricating things.
DeleteBelgrade Airport said 3 years ago where? Send me the article. I am sending you a source from this blog from last month and those are the words of Marek, not mine. You just keep repeating the fabricating term because you apparently dislike the fact the fact that BEG is used as a transfer airport. Dude, while we are talking look at tomorrow's night departures. You have 7 JU planes all flying to nearby cities almost at the same time interval. You just need to click on "tomorrow".
Deletehttps://www.beg.aero/eng/flights#departures
How on earth does Air Serbia having 55% passenger share prove your made up number that 60% of Belgrade Airport's passengers are transfers? Makes absolutely no sense.
DeleteRead the article published precisely on this blog I sent you in 13:36
Delete"Air Serbia will continue to be the leading regional airline in the Balkans, and we aim to keep our market share in Belgrade between 50% and 55%”, the company’s CEO, Jiri Marek, told “Aero Telegraph”. He added, “The rise in fuel prices is taking its toll and we are not hedged. As an airline, you can pass about 60% of the increase onto customers. So of course, we suffer. But even at current fuel prices, we believe we can break even this year”.
CEOs will never probably not risk using higher numbers so this figure maybe up to 60%.
I'm really at a loss for words. Do you realize that airline market share is the share of total passengers an airline has at a certain airport? How on earth does that translate to the share of TRANSFER passengers? Or are you seriously suggesting that all of Air Serbia's passengers are transfers and theretofore their 55% share translates to 55% transfer passengers.
DeleteAgain, I am waiting for your source for "low" transfer figures. Okay, let it be 20% transfers to make you happier.
DeleteAgain, 3 million passengers and 1 million tourists (including those not using a plane)
https://seenews.com/news/foreign-tourist-arrivals-to-serbia-more-than-double-in-jan-aug-799776#:~:text=BELGRADE%20(Serbia)%2C%20September%2030,statistical%20office%20reported%20on%20Friday.
And again, Serbia borders 2 countries with higher populations, one of which it does not have an air link.
Atlanta airport has way more transfer passengers than all of EXYU airports combined. If you have any problem with that, reach out to ATL management and try to dispute their status as busiest in the world. Don't come back here until you do.
DeleteThanks anon 14:52, that was the point. Atlanta is not visited that much as a destination such as Doha or Addis Ababa for instance but both act like very good transfer airports.
DeleteFor instance, we now see that ZAG has become such an airport. Gaining more O&D traffic and not relying so much on OU transfers or domestic travel. Although, it is more than certain that such LCC connections will immediately work well between Zagreb and the coast for instance simply because there is demand even if they are 2 weekly flights operated with a Max or A321.
LJU has been sadly "butchered" by Klagenfurt which secured 4 new Ryanair destinations but their management is apparently looking for newer alternatives you see.
Aviation, similar to medicine or languages, just keeps changing and evolving all the time and we have to deal with it. In 2004 people cared about free sandwiches and today they care about price, 10kg luggage and just paying less to reach their final destination.
Look at the flights from Santiago de Chile to Barcelona, they now cost 400€ OW without the extras or not to mention Athens-Singapore for the same price.
You have Max routes of over 8 hours and the 321XLR will soon change things even more by 2024. Time to update ourselves and our internal software.
@14.40
DeleteI am waiting for the source of your claim that 60% of Belgrade Airport's passengers are transfers. At least I hope you realized from this discussion that passenger share of an airline is not transfer share of an airport. Or maybe you really think all of Air Serbia's passengers are transfers. Also I don't understand what the link you provided about tourism has to prove? You do realize Serbian citizens fly from Belgrade and go on holiday?
And once again I don't dispute that Belgrade Airport has transfer passengers. What I do dispute is someone making up a number and claiming it as fact and trying to prove how the local population does not travel.
I provided sources something which you never did. Even if the number is not 60% it is good that you finally admit that Belgrade is also a transfer airport compared to the top 3 list for instance. You just made it sound as if it were something negative, that's all.
DeleteYou provided sources to what? You were trying to prove that locally no one travels by making up a number which you now admit is a complete fabrication. The source to PASSENGER SHARE which has nothing to do with TRANSFER SHARE only goes to prove that.
DeleteThose figures give us a rough idea of the transfer traffic, same as with the night transfer drove, which can clearly be seen on the official BEG website. It is entirely up to you to believe in what you think is right. You are just scribbling and not providing any source behind your "quite low transfer traffic" you mentioned earlier. Prove me wrong, show me a reliable article and make me change my mind. This is what a constructive debate is all about.
DeleteNo, passenger share does not equal transfer share. You quoting me as saying "quite low" is another one of your fabrications as I didn't say that. I said that the number you made up is way off. There was an article about it here, but don't have the time to go through 3 years of archives to link it for you. You keep making up numbers, present them as facts and then provide sources which just disprove your made up numbers and quite frankly make you look stupid as you claim Air Serbia's 55% passenger share equates to 60% transfer share. I.e 100% of Air Serbia's passengers are transfers.
DeleteNo links provided show to 60% of BEG pax numbers being transfer pax. And the maths doesn't add up.
DeleteYour link shows JU pax share in BEG to be 55% for the month of August and not for the entire year. JU pax share at the beginning of the year was somewhere between 30-40%. Jan-Sep JU markeshare overall in BEG is around 46%.
JU's 2 millionth passenger travelled through BEG on the 5th of October. 2 million includes INI and KVO. 300.000 of those were handled on charter flights. JU has 100% share in KVO which handled 11.361 pax so far. Both figures are 100% O&D pax, 0 transfers. This leaves 1.688.639 pax for scheduled routes in both INI and BEG. Lets assume a low estimate of 60.000 pax of the 287.772 pax for INI so far travelled on JU scheduled routes, this leaves 1.628.639 pax on JU scheduled flights from BEG. Assuming that 100% of these pax in BEG are transfers (which is not the case), that is a percentage of 38,98% and not 60%. Lets assume JU has 50% transfer pax, again unrealistic, the percentage falls further to 19,15%.
BEG transfer passengers are less than third of overall passenger numbers. All other fake statistics are better suited to other blogs/sites where facts are routinely twisted to paint BEG and JU in negative light.
DeleteSome people are really struggling to cope with Belgrade's success. Such a shame.
DeleteBravo Serbia !
ReplyDeleteMy prediction for 2022:
ReplyDelete1. Belgrade
2. Zagreb
3. Prishtina
4. Split
5. Skopje
6. Dubrovnik
7. Sarajevo
8. Podgorica
9. Ljubljana
10. Zadar
Could well be but Zagreb and Pristina will be very close at any rate, so they'll be battling for the No.2 position. The will be the case between Skopje and Dubrovnik. Dubrovnik will have one more strong month - this one, October and then it'll be up to Skopje to catch up to Dubrovnik and surpass it.
DeleteSame for Zadar and Ljubljana who'll be batlling for No
