Jamie Oliver arrived in Belgrade: World-famous chef surprised everyone with a visit to the New Belgrade market

His arrival among the stalls filled with fresh fruit, vegetables, and local products surprised many citizens who happened to be at the market at that moment.

In a relaxed and visibly pleasant atmosphere, Oliver had the opportunity to taste local cheeses, kajmak, and cured meat specialties, and he did not hide his enthusiasm for the colors, smells, and flavors of a traditional Serbian market. During the visit, he spoke with vendors and passersby, took photos with fans, and enjoyed the authentic atmosphere of the city.
