Prijepolje
Prijepolje ( sr-Cyrl, Пријепоље, ) is a town and municipality located in the Zlatibor District of southwestern Serbia. As of 2022, the town has 11,928 inhabitants, while the municipality has 32,214 inhabitants. Etymology One possible meaning of the name Prijepolje is "Prija's field", where Prija is the owner of ''polje'', the "field" in English. However, a more likely theory is that the name originates from the location of Prijepolje and its relationship to the travels of caravans. When those caravans were passing through the area which would become Prijepolje, they would arrive at the settlement "before the fields", where the present day neighborhoods of Ivanje and Velika Župa are located. "Prije" means "before", and "polje" means "field", hence, the location might be called Prijepolje. Geography Prijepolje is located at the confluence of the fast-flowing Lim River, Lim and Mileševka rivers. It is also situated along the road from Belgrade to the Adriatic Sea, as wel ...

People From Prijepolje
The term "the people" refers to the public or common mass of people of a polity. As such it is a concept of human rights law, international law as well as constitutional law, particularly used for claims of popular sovereignty. In contrast, a people is any plurality of persons considered as a whole. Used in politics and law, the term "a people" refers to the collective or community of an ethnic group or nation. Concepts Legal Chapter One, Article One of the Charter of the United Nations states that "peoples" have the right to self-determination. Though the mere status as peoples and the right to self-determination, as for example in the case of Indigenous peoples (''peoples'', as in all groups of indigenous people, not merely all indigenous persons as in ''indigenous people''), does not automatically provide for independent sovereignty and therefore secession. Indeed, judge Ivor Jennings identified the inherent problems in the right of "peoples" to self-determination, as i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Topčider
Topčider ( sr-cyr, Топчидер; ) is a forest park and an urban neighborhood of Belgrade, the capital of Serbia. It is divided between the municipalities of Čukarica, Rakovica and Savski Venac. Being close to downtown, it is one of the major locations for relaxation, picnics and fresh air for the citizens of Belgrade. As a result of the 1923 Belgrade's general plan, where one of the main projects regarding the green areas was forestation of the area between Topčider and the city, a continuous green area Senjak-Topčidersko Brdo-Hajd Park-Topčider-Košutnjak was formed by the 1930s. This continuous forested area makes the largest "green massif" in the immediate vicinity of Belgrade's urban tissue. Nobelist author Ivo Andrić wrote: "You just hang on to Topčider and Košutnjak...Topčider is my favorite place, where I ate bread and drank wine in the sweetest and calmest manner". Location Geographically, Topčider covers a much larger area than what people generally ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
House Of The National Assembly Of Serbia
The House of the National Assembly (), formally the House of the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia () is the seat of the National Assembly of Serbia. The building is located on Nikola Pašić Square in downtown Belgrade, across Novi Dvor (seat of the President of the Republic) and Stari Dvor (Belgrade City Hall). Originally intended to be the House of the National Assembly of the Kingdom of Serbia, it was the seat of the Parliament of Yugoslavia and the Parliament of Serbia and Montenegro. Since 2006 it serves as the meeting place of the National Assembly of Serbia. History The old building of the National Assembly was located on the corner of Kraljica Natalija and Knez Miloš streets. This was a modest building, and with the gaining of independence in 1878 and then with the proclamation of the kingdom in 1882, the appearance of this building became unworthy of the parliament of a sovereign state and it was decided to build a new National Assembly building, so the a ...

Stari Dvor
Stari Dvor (, lit. "Old Palace") is the city hall of Belgrade, Serbia, housing the office of the Mayor of Belgrade. It was the royal residence of Serbian royal family (the Obrenović and later Karađorđević) from 1884 to 1922. The palace is located on the corner of Kralja Milana and Dragoslava Jovanovića streets, opposite Novi Dvor (seat of the President of Serbia). History Development of the compound Influential politician and a businessman, Stojan Simić, purchased in 1830 the lot where palace was to be built. Simić drained the marsh, filled and leveled the terrain and on the northern side of the modern Kralja Milana street constructed a house in 1842. The edifice became known as the Stari Konak. Development of the first Serbian royal compound began in 1843, when the ruling prince Alexander Karađorđević purchased the konak with the surrounding garden. In the 1850s, additional building was constructed next to Stari Konak, to the north, and colloquially ca ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
