Within the framework of President Shavkat Mirziyoyev's official visit to Serbia, First Lady of our country Ziroat Mirziyoyeva visited a number of historical and cultural sites in Belgrade, accompanied by Serbia's First Lady Tamara Vucic.
Among the visited locations were two sites that hold a special place in Serbia's national history and spiritual heritage — the National Museum of Serbia and the Church of Saint Sava. The First Ladies' visit to these facilities demonstrated the attention being paid to cultural and humanitarian ties between the two countries.
The first destination in Belgrade — the National Museum

A rare manuscript that caught the First Ladies' attention
Special attention was paid to one of the most important exhibits in the museum — the Miroslav Gospel.
Dating back to the 12th century, this manuscript is considered one of the oldest examples of Serbian Cyrillic writing. It stands out not only for its historical value but also for its high artistic quality.
The miniatures of the manuscript are delicately and masterfully decorated.
The Miroslav Gospel was included in UNESCO's "Memory of the World" international register in 2005.
In this regard, the manuscript holds a special place in Serbia's national cultural heritage.
The next destination — the spiritual symbol of Serbia
Following the museum, Ziroat Mirziyoyeva and Tamara Vucic visited the Church of Saint Sava, which is considered one of the largest Orthodox cathedrals in the world.
Located in Belgrade, this huge structure is one of Serbia's important religious and spiritual symbols.
The First Ladies familiarized themselves with the church's unique architectural appearance and interior decoration.
