Serbia



Judit sent me this nice view card from Novi Sad, Serbia. Novi Sad is the second biggest city in Serbia and the capital of northern Serbian province - Vojvodina. It has population of around 200 000 people.The city was founded in 1694, when Serb merchants formed a colony across the Danube from the Petrovaradin fortess a Habsburg strategic military post. During the city's long history, it has maintained its multicultural identity, with Serbs, Hungarian and Germans being the main ethnic groups. Today, Novi Sad is an industrial and financial centre of the Serbian economy, as well as a major cultural hub. It is also known for the music festival EXIT.

Thanks to Judit who sent me this nice postcard with a cute stamp :)
