NIKOLA PAŠIĆ SQUARE<br />
<strong>Trg</strong> <strong>Nikole</strong> Pašića is the central city square in Belgrade, Serbia. It is located<br />
in the area between Terazije, the Boulevard of King Alexander and<br />
Dečanska Street, in the municipality of Stari grad, and it is the youngest<br />
square in the city. It was built in 1953 when a fountain was built on it.<br />
One former mayor of Belgrade, Nikola Pasic, was named after him, who<br />
was Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes before<br />
the Second World War.<br />
The first name of this square was Marks and Engels Square - after Karl<br />
Marx and Friedrich Engels, the main communist ideologists.This name was<br />
marketed until 1997, when a new name was designated by the Belgrade<br />
City Assembly. In the same year, the streets that surround the square -<br />
Boulevard of Revolution (today Bulevard of King Alexander) and Moshe<br />
Pijade Street (today Dečanska Street) have been renamed.
