In 1955, Kopitar's remains were transferred to Navje Memorial Park, where his gravestone is also now displayed, at the edge of the former St. Christopher's Cemetery. A neighbourhood in Belgrade, the capital of Serbia, called Kopitareva Gradina, is named after him. Notes References Lencek, Rado. To Honor Jernej Kopitar 1780–1980. Papers in Slavic Philology, no. 2.
