paja Posted August 6, 2014 Author Share Posted August 6, 2014 (edited) Belgrade is not the only city awarded with that order, there are 8 of them. What makes Belgrade special is the fact that it was the only one who received the order during the war! Rest of them got awarded 3 decades later! And in case someone wonders why exactly 8 cities received the order the answer is quite simple, every republic had to receive one and same goes for the two autonomous provinces within Serbia (6 republics + 2 autonomous provinces = 8 orders). They were awarded in the following order 1. Belgrade (Serbia) 20.10.1944. 2. Ljubljana (Slovenia) 24.04.1970. 3. Drvar (B&H) 17.05.1974. 4. Cetinje (Montenegro) 07.05.1975 5. Novi Sad (AP Vojvodina) 07.05.1975. 6. Prilep (Macedonia) 07.05.1975. 7. Priština (AP Kosovo & Metohija) 07.05.1975. 8. Zagreb (Croatia) 16.09.1975.
