Subotica

Subotica (Hungarian: Szabadka) is the northernmost city in the Republic of Serbia, the second most populous in Vojvodina. According to the 2002 census, it has 99,471 inhabitants. It is located 10 km from the Serbian border with Hungary. It is the administrative center of the North Bačka District.
 
Subotica was first mentioned in 1391 under the Hungarian name Zabadka. In 1527, Subotica was the capital of the short-lived Serbian state of the self-proclaimed Emperor John Nenad. The Ottoman Empire ruled the city from 1542 to 1686, when it became a possession of the Habsburg Monarchy. From the mid-18th century, its name was changed to Sancta Maria, after the Austrian Empress Maria Theresa. The name of the city was changed again in 1779 to Maria Theresiopolis, and the name Subotica (Szabadka) was returned to it in 1845. In 1918, Subotica became part of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes.
 
The city is located in the Pannonian Plain, which has a long tradition and rich cultural heritage. The municipality, which includes the city and 18 suburban settlements, covers an area of ​​1,008 square kilometers.
 
Thanks to its geographical position and hardworking residents, Subotica has over time become the most important administrative, industrial, commercial, transport and cultural center in northern Bačka, and the nearby Palić Lake makes it a tourist and recreational center for the wider area.
 
There is also a connection near the city that connects Subotica with Hungary in the north and Southern Europe via Belgrade in the south. Subotica is also connected by rail to the whole of Europe.
 
In terms of traffic, Subotica is, in the truest sense of the word, located at the crossroads of roads and railways. The E-75 highway passes in the immediate vicinity of Subotica, and the main roads to Novi Sad (M-22.1), Sombor and Kelebija (Hungary) (M-17.1), Horgoš (M-22.1) and Senta (M-24) intersect in the city itself (the part to the E-75 highway has been completed, and the rest is planned). The Belgrade - Budapest railway route passes through the urban core and there it branches off with the railway routes to Sombor, Horgoš, Crvenka and Baja. All these facts contribute to Subotica being classified as one of the most important traffic hubs in the Republic of Serbia.

Aleksinac

Aleksinac is a city in Serbia and the seat of the municipality in the Niš District. According to the 2022 census, it has about 14,590 inhabitants. Aleksinac is located 30 kilometers from Niš, to the north, on the highway to Belgrade, but it is less well known that it is at the intersection of 2 other main roads, one of which leads from northeastern Serbia and Sokobanja via Aleksinac to Toplica; the second road leads from Eastern Serbia via Aleksinac, and further towards Kruševac and Western Serbia.
Starting from the 16th century, we have data on Aleksinac and most of the surrounding settlements. The oldest data is found in the Kruševac Sandžak Defter, number 55, written in 1516. From it we conclude that almost all current settlements in that territory, as well as Aleksinac itself, are of medieval origin.
In the past, the development of the Aleksinac region was greatly influenced by the fact that the Constantinople Road passed through it, from which the road to Sokobanja and Knjaževac branched off. The Constantinople Road was used to transport goods from Turkey to Central Europe, and for this reason, Prince Miloš thoroughly repaired and maintained it.
Today, agricultural land occupies as much as 64% of the city's territory, and about 60% of households are engaged in agricultural production. With this percentage, the Aleksinac region is considered a developed agricultural region. The majority of industrial enterprises have been closed due to the deep financial crisis. Some enterprises have been privatized, while others are awaiting reconstruction. Industry is concentrated in the city itself and in the Aleksinac Mine.
The natural beauty of Aleksinac is reflected in the extraordinary diversity of landscapes where gentle valleys, dense forests, vast pastures and high rocky peaks alternate, so that the area of ​​this municipality has all the conditions for the development of rural tourism.
The city has a Center for Culture and Arts, an amateur theater, a Music School, a Homeland Museum, and a well-equipped public library. Aleksinac has always been a hospitable and open city. With the Brđanka Park, where there is a monument to Russian volunteers who died in the war of 1876, and the Russian Church in the village of Gornji Adrovac, built on the site of the death of Colonel Rajevski, a Russian volunteer who died fighting against the Turks on August 20, 1876, then with Lake Bovan, with two medieval monasteries, in Lipovac and in the village of Praskovče, Aleksinac is a significant tourist destination in this part of Serbia. Rural tourism is cultivated in the villages of Radevac, Lipovac, and Gornji Adrovac, where accommodation facilities have been built and adapted to provide tourists with complete comfort. In these villages, tourists can learn about traditional and almost forgotten professions and crafts, preparing traditional dishes... According to the data of the Tourism and Sports Organization of the Municipality of Aleksinac, tourists visiting the town show the greatest interest in visiting historical monuments, churches and monasteries, the so-called religious tourism.
