Another included
coach tour. Excellent guide who took us to the fortress,
 
the statue of Pobednik (The Victor), built in
1928 to commemorate victories over the Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian
Empires.
and a huge
Church (unfinished) which we thought was in the style of St. Sophia
in Istanbul.
 
Then to a
large hotel where we had included refreshments then time for a browse
around the Main Square.
Statue of Mihailo Obrenovic (Prince
of Serbia) - The National Museum (behind) was closed for renovation
National Theatre
Serbians
don't have too many good words to say about Milosevic now but.... We
were shown damage done by the NATO bombing and, of course, were told
that Serbia wasn't wholly to blame for the civil war. I'm pleased to
see that, everywhere in former Yugoslavia that we went, people were
pro-Yugoslavia (ie. Tito) and, therefore, tried to be tolerant to each
other.
