Formation<br />

of Kra lje vi ca<br />

Citizens of Zaječar<br />

believe that forest<br />

park Kraljevica, which<br />

is located above the<br />

town, has been formed<br />

owing to contemporary<br />

Major Mi la n<br />

Milj ko vi ć, credited for<br />

many things. However,<br />

based upon the<br />

data collected and<br />

publicized by Ili ja Miha<br />

i lo vić, PhD, it can<br />

be seen that Kraljevica<br />

was been being formed<br />

a long time, starting<br />

with the initiative of a<br />

retired state forester<br />

Sa va Dra ga no vi ć in<br />

1888. At the request<br />

of Zaječar court, the<br />

state granted seedlings<br />

for Kraljevica<br />

in 1904, 1925, and<br />

several times during<br />

the period from 1927-<br />

1935... It resulted in<br />

the area of 650 acres<br />

which was placed<br />

under protection of<br />

Zaječar municipality<br />

by the decision of the<br />

Municipal Assembly<br />

in 1971.
