His body rests in the mausoleum of the Church of Saint George at Oplenac, the foundations of King Peter I.
Karadjordje’s popularity grew over time in the legend and beyond the borders of the Serbian insurgency. And for the modern generation of Serbs, Karadjordje is a synonym for a national leader, idol and inspiration.
Thanks a lot for the comment.
