The Ušće Towers are two 25-story mixed-use skyscrapers designed by architect Mihailo Janković and located at Mihajlo Pupin Boulevard in New Belgrade, Serbia. The first tower, completed in 1964, stands 98 meters tall and was the tallest building in Serbia and the Balkans until the Genex Tower's completion in 1979; it also ranked as the second-tallest freestanding structure in Serbia after the Avala Tower during this period. Built to overlook the confluence of the Danube and Sava rivers, the tower originally served as headquarters for the Central Committee of the League of Communists of Yugoslavia before being leased to commercial tenants. Severely damaged by NATO airstrikes on 21 April 1999 during the bombing of Yugoslavia, the tower was reconstructed beginning in 2003 with structural modifications increasing its height to 103.9 meters, plus a 26-meter antenna. A second tower, designed as a twin of the first, was constructed between 2018 and June 2020.
