Kragujevac served as Serbia's capital through much of the 19th century, and it was here in 1835 that Prince Milos Obrenovic proclaimed the Sretenje Constitution, briefly the most liberal in Europe before great-power pressure forced its withdrawal within weeks. The city also housed the first modern Serbian grammar school and printing press, a genuine centre of the young state's institutions before the capital moved to Belgrade.
That civic history sits alongside a grimmer one. In October 1941, German occupying forces shot several thousand civilians, including schoolboys taken from their classrooms, in reprisal for partisan attacks, an event now commemorated at Sumarice Memorial Park on the edge of town. Kragujevac later became synonymous with the Zastava car and arms works, the factory that built the Yugo and, for decades, much of the former Yugoslavia's small-arms production.
