The municipality of Sopot (20,199 inhabitants in 2011, 1,887 in the town of
Sopot; 27,100 ha) is located 60 km south of Belgrade downtown.
The logo
features the monument to the fallen soldiers of the Kosmaj partisan detachment.
Designed by architect Gradimir Medaković and sculptor Vojin Stojić, the monument
is a "spomenik", the generic name of abstract memorials built in Tito's Republic
of Yugoslavia between 1960 and 1990.
The monument is dedicated to Kosmaj
partisans and fighters from the Posavina (Sava River) region who died during the
National Liberation War (World War II). The monument was inaugurated on 2 July
1971 to mark the 30th anniversary of the unit’s formation. The words on the
plaque translate as follows;
“On July 2, 1941, the Kosmaj-Posavina Partisan
detachment was formed at this place. At the end of July, two new Kosmajski and
Posavski were formed from this detachment. During all four years of the war, the
libertarian rifle did not stop firing here at the gates of Belgrade. 5,820
fighters and partisan associates fell for freedom, including 3,411 young men and
women. Sixteen fighters were declared national heroes.”
