Government designates three cultural properties of exceptional importance
Belgrade,
4 December 2025
The sculpture Danubius is a monumental, fully preserved stone sculpture.
On an elongated, egg-shaped pebble, a fish-like being is modelled, with the face of the sculpture formed on one side of the pebble in deep relief made by pecking.
The Votive Cart, that is, the famous Dupljaja Cart, depicts an anthropomorphic deity seated in a three-wheeled cart drawn by three marsh ducks, two male and one female.
The government members also adopted the Decision designating Praise by Nun Jefimija – Shroud for the Relics of Prince Lazar as a cultural property of exceptional importance, since this museum object is of great significance for the cultural and historical development of the Serbian people in the Middle Ages, especially in the period following the Battle of Kosovo, which was one of the turning points in the history of Serbia.
The largest part of the shroud is decorated using the gold embroidery technique, with silver-gilt thread on a base of red satin silk, and is filled with text embroidered in 26 lines.
This cultural property represents a distinctive combination of literary and applied art and expresses, in a lyrical manner, the personal and collective tragedy embodied in the martyrdom of Prince Lazar.
The government members also adopted resolutions approving decisions to establish cooperation between the city of Belgrade and the city of Tashkent in the Republic of Uzbekistan, between Novi Sad and Larnaca in the Republic of Cyprus, and between the municipality of Trstenik in Serbia and the municipality of Agios Vasileios on Crete, in the Hellenic Republic.
