KRUSEVAC, YUGOSLAVIAKrusevac is mentioned for the first time in the fifteenth century in the works of Konstantin the Philosopher and the biographer of Despot Stefan Lazarevic. However, in the 5th century BC Herodotus writes about the settlements of Tribal at the mound of the rivers the Angros and the Brongos (the West and South Morava) and archaeological findings evidence that Krusevac lowlands was inhabited even in Neolithic time. The town founder Lazar Hrebeljanovic founded it in 1371 and the name of the town comes from “krusac” – round pebble used for town building. Favourable geographic position made Krusevac during these seven centuries an important administrative, economic and cultural centre of Serbia and Yugoslavia. Today Krusevac is the setting of the Rasina Region with about 100,000 citizens and highly developed industry, specially metal and chemical, employing over 42,000 workers. |
