In 1919, Regulations were enacted, followed by the Law on the Regulation of Domestic Military Cemeteries and Graves at Home and Abroad in 1921. This law also covered the graves of fallen soldiers who were citizens of Germany, Austria, Hungary, and Bulgaria, buried on the state's territory. This law was enacted following the conclusions of the Versailles Conference, which envisaged the registration and maintenance of all military cemeteries, as well as individual graves of Serbian and foreign (both Allied and enemy) soldiers, regardless of their location or the deceased's religion. As a result of this law, 1,815 Serbian cemeteries were established across 18 countries throughout Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. Two of the largest Serbian military cemeteries abroad were the one in Zeitenlik in Thessaloniki, Greece, where 7,441 warriors were buried, and the one in Jind\u0159ichovice, Czech Republic, which holds the remains of 7,100 Serbian and 189 Russian soldiers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-20430-1-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-20430-1-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_media_image panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"4\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"2258\" src=\"https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_7527-scaled.jpg\" class=\"image wp-image-20445  attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" style=\"max-width: 100%; height: auto;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_7527-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_7527-300x265.jpg 300w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_7527-1024x903.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_7527-768x677.jpg 768w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_7527-1536x1355.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_7527-2048x1806.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_7527-50x44.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-20430-2\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-20430-2-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell panel-grid-cell-empty panel-grid-cell-mobile-last\" ><\/div><div id=\"pgc-20430-2-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell panel-grid-cell-empty\" ><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-20430-3\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-20430-3-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-20430-3-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"5\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t><h3 class=\"widget-title\">THE FRENCH MILITARY CEMETERY<\/h3>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p>The French military cemetery occupies the northern side of the New Cemetery between St. Nicholas and Roosevelt Streets.

In close proximity to these monuments, there are graves of Russian citizens marked with simple Russian Orthodox crosses.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/IMG_8436-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-11973 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/IMG_8436-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1673\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-20430-11-0-1\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_media_image panel-last-child\" data-index=\"19\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"582\" height=\"449\" src=\"https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/IMG_8429.jpg\" class=\"image wp-image-17640  attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" style=\"max-width: 100%; height: auto;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/IMG_8429.jpg 582w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/IMG_8429-300x231.jpg 300w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/IMG_8429-50x39.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 582px) 100vw, 582px\" \/><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-20430-11-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-20430-11-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-image-grid panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"20\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-image-grid so-widget-sow-image-grid-default-8bf08a9600e8-20430\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\t<div\n\t\tclass=\"sow-image-grid-wrapper\"\n\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sow-image-grid-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sow-image-grid-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-20430-12\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-20430-12-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell panel-grid-cell-empty panel-grid-cell-mobile-last\" ><\/div><div id=\"pgc-20430-12-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell panel-grid-cell-empty\" ><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-20430-13\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-20430-13-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-20430-13-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"21\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t><h3 class=\"widget-title\">THE GERMAN MILITARY CEMETERY COMPLEX<\/h3>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p>The German Military Cemetery Complex is located in Ko\u0161utnjak Park, on the site where battles for the conquest of Belgrade took place during World War I.<\/p>\n<p>The cemetery was established in 1915, during the joint Austro-Hungarian-German offensive, when Marshal August von Mackensen selected this location for a military cemetery. The monolithic monument at the center of the cemetery is dedicated to the 208th Prussian Infantry Regiment.<\/p>\n<p>The cemetery was maintained in the interwar period and was used again during World War II, when members of the SS were buried there. After the war, the cemetery suffered damage as a result of political retaliation against the occupying forces. The marble tombstones were destroyed, while the concrete monuments from World War I were partially preserved. The remaining structures of the cemetery were partially conserved in 1985.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_20577\" style=\"width: 2240px\"  class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a

Soldier<\/p>\n<p>Within this memorial complex, there is also a monument dedicated to the Serbian defenders of Belgrade. Soldiers of the 208th Prussian Infantry Regiment fought a fierce two-day battle against the defenders of Belgrade, consisting of 36 Serbian soldiers, two Britons, and one Frenchman.<\/p>\n<p>During World War I, the practice of burying soldiers from opposing sides was present both in Serbia and across Europe. This practice was carried out by both the Allied and German armies with the aim of preserving the memory of all those involved in the war and showing respect for all soldiers. Cemeteries were often marked in such a way as to clearly indicate that enemy soldiers were also buried there.<\/p>\n<p>Marshal August von Mackensen erected, within the German cemetery, a monument dedicated to the Serbian soldiers, with a bilingual inscription: \"Here lie Serbian heroes.\" This gesture can be interpreted in various ways, but it primarily represents a sign of respect for the bravery and military skill of the enemy in the battle for Belgrade. Regardless of the motives, such gestures were relatively unusual during the war, and the monument remains an important historical legacy of World War I.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_20570\" style=\"width: 2240px\"  class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_1253.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-20570 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_1253.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2240\" height=\"1493\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_1253.jpg 2240w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_1253-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_1253-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_1253-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_1253-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_1253-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_1253-50x33.jpg 50w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_1253-930x620.jpg 930w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_1253-272x182.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2240px) 100vw, 2240px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a0Monument to Serbian Soldiers<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-20430-14-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-20430-14-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-image-grid panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"24\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-image-grid so-widget-sow-image-grid-default-8bf08a9600e8-20430\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\t<div\n\t\tclass=\"sow-image-grid-wrapper\"\n\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sow-image-grid-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1799\" height=\"1199\" src=\"https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_1248.jpg\" class=\"sow-image-grid-image_html\" alt=\"\" title=\"spomenik srpskim junacima\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_1248.jpg 1799w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_1248-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_1248-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_1248-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_1248-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_1248-50x33.jpg 50w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_1248-930x620.jpg 930w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_1248-272x182.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1799px) 100vw, 1799px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sow-image-grid-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2240\" height=\"1493\" src=\"https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_1249.jpg\" class=\"sow-image-grid-image_html\" alt=\"\" title=\"spomenik srpskim junacimaa\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_1249.jpg 2240w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_1249-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_1249-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_1249-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_1249-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_1249-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_1249-50x33.jpg 50w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_1249-930x620.jpg 930w, https:\/\/beotura.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_1249-272x182.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2240px) 100vw, 2240px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-20430-15\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-20430-15-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell panel-grid-cell-mobile-last\" ><div id=\"panel-20430-15-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"25\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p>Written by Teodora Danilovi\u0107<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-20430-15-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell panel-grid-cell-empty\" ><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Foreign military cemeteries &#8211; British, Italian, French, Bulgarian, and Austro-Hungarian &#8211; are located in the New Cemetery in Belgrade.
