King Milan Obrenović ruled Serbia from 1868 to 1889. During that period, several liberation wars were waged, and Serbia gained international recognition by decisions of the Congress of Berlin which took place on 13th July 1878. King Milan died in Vienna on 11th February 1901, and he was buried in a tomb in the Monastery of Krušedol on Fruška Gora. King Milan remained remembered for successful reforms with far reaching consequences, such as highly successful reform of the military, as well as the overall accelerated Europeanisation of Serbia.
