Dušanovac

The Dušanovac (Serbian Cyrillic: Душановац, pronounced [duʃǎːnɔv̞at͡s]), is an urban neighbourhood of Belgrade, the capital of Serbia. It is located in the municipality of Voždovac.

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 administrativelly part of the municipality of Kumodraž. It began to develop rapidlly in the 1920s and before World War II caught Yugoslavia in 1941, the area was fully urbanized and made continuous urban area with the rest of the city. Despite being a residential settlement on the outskirts of Belgrade, and not having industrial or military facilities, Dušanovac and the neighboring Pašino Brdo were partially demolished during the heavy „Easter bombing“ of Belgrade by the Allies on 16 April 1944.

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.
