Located
in the European country named the Republic
of Serbia (which is part of a larger organization
called the Union of Serbia And Montenegro)
is the City of Smederevo. The city has
existed since Europe’s medieval
ages and has seen many an invasion at
the hands of peoples such as the Ottomans,
the Austro-Hungarians, the Germans, and
the Russians. Smederevo’s neighbours
include cites like Pozarevac, Kovin, and
Beograd. With a population of about 63
thousand, Smederevo is the administrative
center of an area called Podunavlje District,
which encompases most of Central Serbia
and includes places like Smederevska Palanka
and Velika Plana.
Smederevo is historically important because
it was the capital of the Serb State in
the fourteenth century, and was therefore
the city where the royal palace was located
(known today as Smederevo fortress). Today
Smederevo is one of the leading cities
in Serbia, and it is growing rapidly.
Areas of industrial interest include developing
the technology of passenger, transport
and special railroad cars.
