gatije beogradske porodice. Krsma- novići, poznati trgovci, nisu hteli da svoju Anu daju za Maksima Anto- nijevića, čija je porodica držala naj- veće juvelirnice u gradu. Zato što je bio zanatlija. Međutim, popustili su kad se gradom proneo glas da je Ana trudna. Parcela na kojoj je bio Ruski car bila je deo miraza, ali uz određene uslove… Sedite, predahnite. Da, baš tu, ispred Filozofskog fakulteta. U toj zgradi je Vidosava Vida Ružić, naj- lepša devojka Beograda 20-ih go- dina 20. veka, jednog dana sela i spustila šešir na stolicu do sebe označivši je kao zauzetu, za svoju prijateljicu. Jedan mladić je pome- rio šeširić i seo. „Ali to mesto je zauzeto“, poku- šala je da mu objasni devojka. „Zauzeto? Pa za mene, naravno“, odgovorio je Miloš Crnjanski. Već tada su postali jedno, ali nje- na porodica nije odobravala tu ve- zu. Poslala ju je u Pariz. Crnjanski ju je ispratio na stanicu i već slede- ćeg dana stavio kuću na doboš i kre- nuo za njom… Do kraja života. Nje- na poslednja želja, da večno počiva uz svog supruga na Novom groblju, nikad nije ispunjena. Ove i druge ljubavne priče stale su u Ljubavnu šetnju kroz Beograd , koju je pokrenula Sanja Đaković, tu- ristički vodič. Iz svake od njih mo- ći ćete da naučite ponešto o ljuba- vi. Naravno, ako znate da volite.
A man who does not love is not ca- pable of feeling the greatness of someone else’s love, nor the pow- er of jealousy and the danger that hides in it”, considered Nobel laureate for lit- erature Ivo Andrić. On the other hand, for those who do love, an ordinary stroll through the centre of Belgrade can become a jour- ney through the great love stories of great and little people. If you are one of them, let this lovers’ stroll begin... SowhynotstartonAndrić’sWreath,with thestoryofAndrić’sfamous“Jelena,thewom- an who isn’t here”. He waited for her for 30 years. He dreamt and wrote about her. He spent 30 years loving a woman he couldn’t have. She was married to his friend. He car- ried his reputation as a seducer. Andrić ad- mitted on one occasion:“she was not called Jelena. She was called Milica Babić-Jovano- vić, she was a costume designer at the Na- tionalTheatreinBelgradeandmarriedAndrić in 1958, after the death of her first husband. Nothing happens before it should,”wrote a 65-year-old Andrić at the time. Stand facing the monument to Andrić and ignore his harsh facial expression. To your right is the building at number eight where Andrić shared his life with his wife, Milica Babić. They were inseparable for 10 years, and after her death, in 1968, he with- drew completely from public life, until his own demise in 1975. Let’s move on; we’re heading to Repub- lic Square, to the monument to another great Serbian writer. Who would have guessed that Branislav Nušić, the famous comedy writer known for presenting feminine love as super- ficial and fickle, has a love story worth noting? And a tough love story at that. In his “Auto- biography”, Nušić mentions 13 great loves. He actually only had two who caused him to “lose his head”. In his youth he fell in love with the beautiful Milica Terzibašić. Her fami- ly was against this relationship, and while he served a prison sentence for the poem“Two Servants”, Milica married someone else. And thatsomeonewasNušić’sfriend,adoctorwho he hired to heal Milica from a serious illness.

There was later lots of talk about Nušić’s affair with actresses, including – among others – the celebrated Žanka Stokić, who played the role of the famous“Lady Minister”, but Nušić’s last love was his wife, Darinka Đorđević. A woman who knew how to deal with his char- acter.Allegedly,uponproposingNušićsetone condition: he must have some vice, but she could choose whether his vice in their mari- tal life would be gambling, alcohol or wom- en. If she chose gambling, thought Darinka, she would lose her home; if she chose alcohol – his health would fail; so she chose women and they lived happily ever after. Let’smoveon.Thenextstopcouldbethe “Russian Tsar”, a building that testifies to the forbidden love between a young man and a girl from Belgrade’s two richest families. The Krsmanovićs, renowned merchants, did not want to give their Ana to Maksim Antonije- vić, whose family owned the largest jewel- lers in the city. Because he was a craftsman. However, they backed down when a rumour circulated around the city that Ana was preg- nant.The site where the“RussianTsar”build- ing now stands was part of the dowry, but with certain conditions... Catchyourbreath.Yes,rightthereinfront of the Faculty of Philosophy. It was in this building thatVidosava‘Vida’Ružić, Belgrade’s most beautiful girl of the 1920s, one day sat and placed her hat on the seat beside her, to show that it was reserved for her friend. Then a young man moved the hat and sat down. - But that spot is taken – the girl tried to explain to him. - Taken? Well, by me, of course – responded Miloš Crnjanski. It was then that they became one, but her family didn’t approve of the relationship. They sent her to Paris. Crnjanski accompanied her to the station, then the very next day he put his house up for auction and headed after her... until the end of his life. These and other love stories are featured in the tour“Lovers’Stroll Through Belgrade”, which was launched by tour guide Sanja Đak- ović. And you will be able to learn something about love from each of them. Of course, pro- vided you know how to love.
