Characteristics

Despite even originally being built outside the urban zone of Belgrade (in the 1970s, even the name, Zemun Polje, means Zemun field) it was intended as a neighborhood of Belgrade, not as a separate settlement. The neighborhood of Kamendin was built in the late 1990s, directly adjoining the western section of Zemun Polje. The local community (mesna zajedinca, municipal sub-administrative unit) had a population of over than 50.000 by the 2002 census of population. The geometrically shaped neighborhood is mostly residential, with its own railway station in the south.
