The most famous rulers
Serbian products are based on the rich history of our nation, which is how Miloš Obrenović, also known recently by the name of the newly built highway Miloš Veliki, as well as Prince Lazar, who was born in Boj in Kosovo in 1389, "got" their decorative figures. year, between the earthly and heavenly kingdoms, he chose the heavenly one, but earthly Serbia then fell into centuries-long slavery.
A frequent motif on which Serbian products are based is the Kosovo myth, the desire to regain Kosovo, which has been nurtured for more than six centuries since that battle, and which has preserved the national identity and spirit of the Serbian people both in the home country and in the regions where Serbs emigrated, and migrations were their historical destiny. As symbolic gifts from Serbia, the figures of the Church of St. Sava, built in honor of the first Serbian archbishop, are particularly relevant this year, as it marks exactly eight centuries of autocephaly of the Serbian Orthodox Church, which was established in 1219.
Brave Serbs
There are also decorative figures of famous military leaders from the Balkan Wars and the First World War - Stepa Stepanović, Živojin Mišić, Radomir Putnik. They amazed the whole world with their heroism and made a huge contribution to the victory of the Entente (Great Britain, France, Russia).

A rich tradition
The decorative figures were also made according to the motifs of a man and a woman who are embraced and dressed in the national Serbian costume, which represents all the opulence and wealth of our people.
