Dušanovac, Belgrade

Dušanovac (Serbian Cyrillic: Душановац, pronounced [duʃǎːnoʋats]), is an urban and historical neighbourhood of Belgrade, the capital of Serbia.

The Dušanovac is bounded by the other Belgrade neighbourhoods: Autokomanda to the west, Pašino Brdo to the north, Šumice, Konjarnik, Marinkova Bara, Medaković and Braće Jerković to the east, and Voždovac itself to the south.

As a pre-World War I suburb of Belgrade, in the area that was eastern border of the city at that time, Dušanovac was administratively part of the municipality of Kumodraž.

[5] Since the 1960s and 1970s new, vast in area boroughs were developed further to the east, like Šumice and Konjarnik which connected Belgrade in one continuous urban area with former villages of Mali Mokri Lug, Veliki Mokri Lug, Kaluđerica, Leštane, Vinča and Boleč, so today, the Dušanovac is closer to the downtown Belgrade (10 minutes by public bus) than to the eastern outskirts of the city.

The building was transformed by the Italian model of the high risk mafia trials, with the latest generation of the audio-visual-safety equipment, previously unseen in this part of Europe.

It is planned for the Prosecutors office for the organized crime which will move out of the old building leaving it solely to the court business.
