This massive statue is, I assume* of the significant Balkan figure of the late 1790s and early 1800s, Đorđe Petrović
(His first name would sound like George as the accented 'D' becomes soft).
He was known as Karađorđe meaning Black (i.e. dark-haired) George.
A Serbian by birth, he rose from impoverished roots to become a significant leader in the first Serbian uprisings against Ottoman forces. He was assassinated by agents of a rival Serbian leader - Milos Obrenovic. Before his death he had fathered offspring who became the Karađorđevic dynasty. His Grandson became Petar I, King of Serbia and his great-grandson Alexander I King of Yugoslavia from 1921 until his death by assassination in 1934.

*There is no plaque or sign on the statue but it is the only statue located in Karadordev park, thence the assumption
