No I've been to Belgrade recently and there are no more bombing ruins to speak of. All of that was cleared years ago. In fact there's a lot of new construction happening in the waterfront area.

Ah, I stand corrected. Been a few years since I visited. At the time, everyone I met seemed to be feeling like a victim of the bombings and harboring some resentment at the west.

Many Serbians do still feel like victims and harbor some resentment at the west. But the 1999 NATO bombings were just one incident in a long litany of complaints (both real and imagined) going back centuries.
They also resent being used as a geopolitical pawn by Russia and China.

I can confirm there were some people who resented Americans/West when I went there. Luckily my Serbian coworkers would shut them up.
At least I wasn’t Turkish. They definitely resent 500 years of Turkish rule.
The younger generation is much more forward thinking.
