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.
