The Temple of Saint Sava in Belgrade, whose construction was planned in 1939, begun in 1985 and awaits completion by 2004 is the largest active Orthodox temple in the world today.

There was a Vračar hill on what is now Tašmajdan. This place was a Turkish execution ground and would have been a more likely candidate.

“ At first we were confused. The East thought that we were West, while the West considered us to be East.
