Unveiling "The Secret of the Stone Girl" Third Time in the Karađorđević Underground City of Mali Zvornik (PHOTO)
Peter II Karađorđević last walked the halls of the Mali Zvornik Underground City on April 12, 1941, and left Serbia forever. Eight and a half decades and three days later, the third "Secret of the Stone Girl" event was held. The complex, built into a hollow rock next to the Drina river, which was long a secret such that even today many residents of Mali Zvornik have not stepped into it, was once again brought to life.
