Tito's famous words (also engraved with Tito's famous words)

The Balkan Peninsula is adjacent to the Adriatic Sea, and there are two famous ancient cities on the coastline, which is an inevitable punching destination for Balkan tourism.

One is Dubrovnik, an old Croatian city, and the other is Cotor, an old Montenegrin city.

Let's talk about Montenegro, which is independent from Yugoslavia.

As we all know, it was Tito who created Yugoslavia.

The ox man completed a seemingly impossible task with an iron fist-smashing a multi-ethnic, multi-religious and multi-contradictory field into Yugoslavia on the European powder keg; And it is the only country that has received huge assistance from the Soviet Union and the United States.

Unfortunately, Yugoslavia disintegrated and stopped at history textbooks.

At that time, Montenegro and Serbia formed the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and fought a war with NATO, namely the Kosovo War. After the war, the name Yugoslavia officially withdrew from the historical stage, and the Yugoslav Republic of Serbia and Montenegro was renamed Serbia and Montenegro.

Why does Montenegro always mix with Serbia?

The reason is actually very simple.

Historically, the Balkan Peninsula is not only a connecting section of Eurasia, but also a place where East and West camps confront each other-Yugoslavia and Italy face each other across the sea.

At the same time, Yugoslavia's nationalities and beliefs are intertwined.

There are mainly several ethnic groups: Serbs, Croats, Muslims, Macedonians, Albanians, Slovenes and Montenegrins.

Different religious beliefs: Serbs believe in the Orthodox Church, Croats believe in Catholicism, and Muslims believe in Islam.

Montenegro followed Serbia to the end because Montenegrins and Serbs have the same religious beliefs and both believe in the Orthodox Church. Kosovo, on the other hand, is dominated by Albanians and believes in Islam.

Not only the Kosovo war, but also the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina was fought so bitterly for similar reasons. Because the Serbs, Croats and Muslims in Bosnia and Herzegovina belong to different nationalities and religions, historical grievances have accumulated repeatedly and crossed each other, which led to the three parties acting in their own way and attacking each other.

In 2006, Montenegro declared its independence through a referendum.

Serbia has since lost its last seaport and become a completely landlocked country.

Now these countries are exactly the same in one direction, that is, they have either joined the EU or are actively on the road to joining the EU.

In fact, before World War I, Montenegro, a small country, was an independent country, and it was considerable-it was the only Balkan country that was not conquered by Turkey.

In addition, people familiar with the classic old movie Bridge may know that the prototype of the bridge in the movie is in the north of Montenegro, and it is called Tara Valley Bridge.

The most famous tourist destination in Montenegro is the old town of Koto.

The old town of Coto is one of the most well-preserved cities along the Adriatic Sea in the Middle Ages. It was listed on the World Heritage List by the United Nations as early as 1979.

There are three destinations worth seeing in the old town of Coto. One is St. Tripna Catholic Church in the old city, which was completed 179 earlier than Notre Dame.

The second is the 4.5-kilometer-long ancient city wall extending from the old city to the mountain.

Thirdly, Tito's famous words are engraved on the entrance door of the old city.

Some people say that Tito's cruel words mean: mine is mine and yours is mine.

This is purely a joke.

The background of Tito's saying this sentence is:1944165438+10/0. Tito led the army to recapture the ancient city of Koto from the Nazi Germany, hitting the floor and saying this sentence: I don't want yours, you can't take mine!

Of course, this sentence is still very domineering!
