"Tesla Tower" in Belgrade gets high-level backing

Boris Tadic says a tower should be built in Belgrade dedicated to Nikola Tesla. It should become "a temple of science and a grandiose monument erected by the Serb people in honor of its great scientist", according to the Serbian president. "Tesla Tower" in Belgrade gets high-level backing “Tesla is not sufficiently established in the Serbian society even though the whole world vibrates the name of Nikola Tesla. We have a boulevard, a museum and an airport bearing the name of Nikola Tesla, but we have not got a site that would channel the energy of Nikola Tesla given to you,” Tadic said at the Nikola Tesla Museum in Belgrade. He was meeting with a group of high school and university students. According to him, Belgrade's Slavija Square would be "an ideal place" for such a tower, due to the fact that it is located in the heart of the Serbian capital, near the Temple of St. Sava. He added the Serb Orthodox temple "could benefit from Tesla's inventions directly, for example by projecting in its interior the frescoes from other Serbian churches and monasteries". Addressing the young and talented Serbian scientists, Tadic said that the people engaged in creative occupations must always be led by an idea of peace, honesty and kindness. The students who visited the Nikola Tesla Museum with the Serbian president included members of the Strawberry Energy team, who designed and carried out the project of a public solar cell phone charger, students of the Faculty of Organizational Sciences who received awards at the Hult Global Case Challenge competition and award-winning students of the Mathematics high school in Belgrade. Nikola Tesla Museum director Vladimir JelenkoviC presented Tadic with a bibliophile monograph of birthday cards sent to Tesla by the scientists of his time. Tesla, an ethic Serb born in Austria-Hungary - in what is today Croatia - held American passport and died in the U.S. Tadic at the museum (Beta)
