A monument to the blessed Serbian Patriarch Pavle, authored by Ljubomir Lacković, was solemnly unveiled in Byzantine Square in Andrićgrad.

Lacković said that the monument was 1.7 meters high and that its making took him about two months.

– Earlier, I made a smaller monument to Patriarch Pavle, I also participated in the work of the Andrićgrad Art Colony, and I had an exhibition the year before last. Emir Kusturica liked my work and he invited me to realize that idea this year – said Lacković.

Other Vidovdan festivities included opening the exhibition of the State Archives of Serbia in Andrićgrad on Serbia and Serbs – Duration and Memory, and awarding the Ivo Andrić Grand Prize to Serbian academician and author Milovan Danojlić.
