In the early hours of July 28, 1914, Belgrade was shelled from the Danube by the Austro‑Hungarian river monitor Bodrog.
These were the first combat shots of World War I — fired not in Western Europe, but here, in Serbia’s capital.
The ship remains today as a symbol of the war’s beginning and of Serbia’s immense suffering.

Currently in #Kraljevo#Serbia. It is as always nice to be in #Srbija🇷🇸, but what I do not understand: why you leave your trash at a #WWI monument? Please show some respect to the Serbian WWI soldiers who died for your country!
