A Balkan capital whose bench is extraordinarily athletic even by regional standards. Nearly a third of Belgrade's notables are footballers and more than a tenth are basketball players, with handball, chess, and water polo columns layered on top — the result of a Yugoslav sporting system that produced Djokovic, Ana Ivanovic, and generations of NBA forwards. Marina Abramović and Milorad Pavić hold down a much smaller but distinctive avant-garde shelf.
