Zabjelo

Below is a list of selected neighbourhoods and suburbs of Montenegrin capital of Podgorica. Note that there are many different interpretations on boundaries and existence of certain neighbourhoods, as neighbourhood is not an administrative category, but unofficial geographical notion.

Historically known as Nova Varoš (new town), this neighbourhood roughly corresponds to the traditional city centre of Podgorica. It is bounded by Ivana Crnojevića Boulevard to the north, Svetog Petra Cetinjskog Boulevard to the south, Stanka Dragojevića Boulevard to the west, and Ribnica River to the east.

It is the administrative, as well as socio-cultural heart of the city. Parliament of Montenegro, Central Bank of Montenegro, Montenegrin National Theatre and Podgorica City Assembly are located within this part of town. It is also home to most of Podgorica's cafés, nightclubs and retail establishments. Hercegovačka Street and Slobode Street, the city's main promenades, are completely within the city centre. The Square of the Republic, traditionally considered the heart of Podgorica, is positioned at the centre of this neighbourhood.

Architecturally, the neighbourhood is a mix of typical Montenegrin interwar housing, and SFRY-era highrises which filled in vacant lots that remained after the World War II devastation.

The city centre saw heavy investments in recent years, in order to make it a representable city centre for a state capital.

The neighbourhood's name, Preko Morače, literally translates to "Across the Morača River", which refers to its location, across the river, relative to the city centre. The majority of the neighbourhood was built right after World War II, incorporating basic residential buildings typical for post-World War II FPR Yugoslavia (mostly 5-6 story multiple-entrance wide pavilions in addition to a few single-entrance buildings up to 10 stories). Originally, it housed the families of Yugoslav People's Army (JNA) personnel and other state officials, although this has changed in recent years, as many original owners sold their apartments.
