Belgrade addresses in New Belgrade often use block numbers, so give the block, the building entrance and the floor.

Streets in the old centre can be narrow with pedestrian zones, so the Helper may have to walk the last section.

Both the Cyrillic and Latin alphabets are used in Serbia, so give the address in both if you can.

Summer afternoons can be hot, so ask the Helper to keep cakes and flowers in the shade.
