Monuments may not be in fashion any more... they used to be commissioned by a king, an emperor, or the Communist Party, but since the breaking of the Eastern European block all that left as a reminder of the bygone era are the futuristic sculptures of artists like, Dušan Džamonja, Vojin Bakić, Miodrag Živković, Jordan and Iskra Grabul, and architects Bogdan Bogdanović and Gradimir Medaković.
In the 1960's and 70's the Yogoslavian president Josip Broz Tito ordered these as commemoration of WWII battles that took place where the monuments stand alone today... here's a selection from Jan Kempenaers' photo tour from Croatia, Serbia, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina during 2006-2009.
