In the 19th century, under the reign of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, on the border of the Turkish Empire, Novi Sad had developed into an important economic center and a cultural, national and political center of all the Serbs – hence it was poetically called Serbian Athens (and Svetozar Miletiæ– Little Serbian Athens).
