If you wanted to spend your night at some restaurant on Skadarlija, you should made your reservation. This text isn't talking about Skadarlija. We didn't mention Skadarlija not even once. And the bus tours will be organized on first days of January, not on New Year's Eve. It's normal that there were no buses. After going out, people in Belgrade take taxi for a ride back home.
