MONUMENT TO KNEZ (PRINCE) MIHAILO OBRENOVIĆ, sculptured by Florentine Enrico Pazzi, bronze. Erected in 1882. Situated at Trg Republike, near the street bearing the Knez's name.

MIHAILO OBRENOVIĆ
(Kragujevac, 1823 - Belgrade, 1868), Knez (Prince) of Serbia

Son of Knez Miloš and Kneginja Ljubica, came to power for the first time when his brother Milan died in 1839. The Sultan confirmed him as elected but not as hereditary Prince. In August 1842, a revolt was organized by Toma Vučić, Mihailo was forced to leave Serbia, and Aleksandar Karađorđević came to the throne. He has spent six years abroad and during that time he collaborated with many Serbs dealing with literature and helped them, too (Vuk Karadžić, Đura Daničić, Branko Radičević and others). When Miloš Obrenović returned to Serbia in 1858, Mihailo came along and took over supreme command of the army. When Miloš died, he became Prince of Serbia again in 1860. In 1861 he made extensive changes in the constitutional structure of the state: the authority of the Council for Legislative Affairs was limited and the independence of its members abolished; ministers became responsible only to the Prince; freedom of the press was abolished; and the National Assembly became only an advisory organ.
Mihailo paid special attention to military organization and in 1861 established a national army with about 50,000 soldiers in its ranks. Up to date weaponry was provided, and Serbia became the strongest military power in the Balkans. Mihailo's aim was the final liberation of his country from the Turks. He used the bombarment of Belgrade (1862) made by the Turks, and after the long negotiations he forced them to remove their garrisons from Belgrade and other Serbian towns (1867) Counting on a war with Turkey, he formed alliances and made agreements with other Balkan nations - Montenegro, Greece, Bulgaria and Romania. Just when the preparations for the war were completed Mihailo was assassinated while out walking in Košutnjak in 1868.

Dobro jutro...
Zaista lijep spomenik, pored kojeg uvijek moram proci kad navratim u Beogradu...
Mozda si se trebala fokusirati samo na njega, ugao za to vec postoji, jer ovako malo mi je fotka prenatrpana, i spomenik kao da se gubi u moru okolnih detalja...

Hi Slavica,
Effective composition. I liked historical atmosphere of old and new buildings. Thanks for information of Serbion History.
Pozdrav

Ja ceo zivot zivim u Beogradu i nemam ni jednu sliku spomenika. Odlicno uslikano a i super je ispao kontrast stare i nove zgrade u pozadini.
