Original proposal for monument to Prince Michael of Serbia by Russian artist Mikhail Mikeshin, meant to be placed in Košutnjak forest in Belgrade. Project has dragged on and was ultimately rejected in 1871.
Monument built later, in 1882 according to design of Enrico Pazzi that stands today on Republic Square in Belgrade.

Handrij Zejler (1804-1872), author of anthem of Lusatian Serbs "Beautiful Lusatia".
"Lusatia, beautiful,
gracious, dutiful,
land of Serbian forebears' toil,
land of dreams, resplendent soil,
sacred are to me thy pastures.
May thy future be blooming joyously!
Oh, may from thy womb appear
people that the world holds dear,
worthy of eternal memory!"
