A video beam was set up on the Republic Square, broadcasting the New Year's celebration from the Sava Promenade, where, along with a concert by Goran Bregovic, fireworks and laser-lit Belgrade Tower, several thousand people also gathered.

As announced, the fireworks were activated two minutes before midnight from eight different systems and 250 positions, while the light performance was produced by 55 lasers.

Deputy Mayor of Belgrade Goran Vesic said that there were between 40,000 and 50,000 people at the New Year's celebration, adding that "Belgrade was holy on New Year's Eve".
