Petition was started to name Belgrade interanational Airport after great Serb-American Nikola Tesla. Son of Serbian Ortodox priest e was born in Serb populated region of Kingdom Of Dalmatia, Austria-Hungary on july 9th 1856. Went to USA as young man, where he achived great scientific success. He died in 1943 NYC, USA, celebrated as one of the gratest minds in human history side-by side Edison Marcconi, Pupin, Bell... His birth-house in Smiljani village was destroyed by Croate tanks when crews realised who was born in that house. This Serbian action is taken in celebration of 150 years form birth of this genious, and to promote new, friendly relations with USA, for which Nikola Tesla is best representative in history.

It is story,
But he also worked on wireless, in same time as Marcconni, and that was recognised later publicly.
I was surprissed to see his x-ray like shots of one women`s foot using his lectical mashine without x-rays!
Saw that in Tesla`s museum in Belgrade.
Thanks man!
This is still a petition, isn't it? I think if it's true, Croatia will start to object and make their own claim of Tesla.
Interesting. I always Tesla was a Russian.
They are also useful for frying enemy Prism tanks.
I think that Edison,who Tesla considered a friend, convinced
Tesla to wire Niagara Falls with DC, causing a huge fire that
financially devastated Tesla.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
They were one of my favorites, especially "Edison's Medicine."

I recently flew from Bucharest, Romania to Belgrade. The ONLY smoking flight I have been on recently. Everyone was smoking. In Bucharest, Dimitru Duduman is the big national hero. But I think Tesla trumps Duduman.
Ping!
Belgrade will also be changing its name to ArtBelgrade.

Edison royally screwed Tesla earlier on in his career, but it wasn't related to Niagara Falls.
There is a movie in the making and David Bowie ("the man who fell to earth") plays Tesla.
