Where Serbia trips people up
Croatia is a wrong choice for Belgrade and again for Serbia's flag and outline. In the flag round the other choices are Russia, Slovakia and Croatia. For the outline, the other choices are Croatia, Bulgaria and Romania. Croatia is on both lists.
One trivia question is “In which year did Montenegro become independent from Serbia?” (2006). Then: “What currency does Serbia use?” (Dinar). Explorer pins 5 photos in Serbia; Gračanica monastery and Sopoćani monastery are marked hard.
