Ljubljana–Zagreb–Beograd

Ljubljana–Zagreb–Beograd is a live album by the Slovenian industrial group Laibach, released on 7 June 1993 by the label Grey Area. The album was recorded in 1982, during the band's first tour, with the majority of tracks captured at performances in Ljubljana (Slovenia), Zagreb (Croatia), and Beograd (Belgrade, Serbia) — the three capital cities of the former Yugoslav republics from which the album takes its name.

The album is predominantly live, though it also includes some studio recordings. Its total length is 69 minutes and 38 seconds. The cover art features Tomaž Hostnik, the band's original vocalist who died by suicide in 1982; the blood depicted on the cover resulted from a bottle thrown at him during a show on that same tour.
