A World War I bomb has been safely removed from a construction site near Serbia’s parliament in Belgrade on Sunday.
The bomb weighed close to 300 kilograms and was found on Wednesday.
It was used by the Austro-Hungarian army when it captured the capital during World War I, according to Interior Minister Ivica Dacić.
Before the move, the police urged residents in the area to be careful, to move their vehicles and, if possible, temporarily leave their homes.
The bomb was taken to sandy terrain about six miles from Belgrade where it was destroyed.

The Liberals want to scrap the school grade F, which excludes many from high school, write Education Minister Johan Pehrson and Education Minister Lotta Edholm on SvD Debatt.
“Replace the grade F with a more nuanced system”, they write, and mean that the current six-point grading system, A-F, should be replaced by what they call a more symmetrical scale.
“We should not have a grading system that leads to a large percentage of students being excluded from upper secondary education.”
The debate article comes a few days after Edholm’s turn in an interview with Dagens Nyheter. Then she opened to introducing a new grading system without an F limit. The Minister of Education has previously said no to removing the grade.

A British public prosecutor’s office says it received evidence against now-disgraced former Harrods owner Mohamed al-Fayed twice in the 2000s.
This week the BBC published a documentary in which the late billionaire is accused of several cases of abuse. In the documentary, the BBC spoke to over 20 women who worked at Harrods from the 1980s onwards. Several of them testify that they were raped by al-Fayed.
After that, the lawyers representing the victims announced that they had received more than 150 new pieces of information related to the allegations against al-Fayed, who died last year.
A spokesman for the prosecutor’s office said on Sunday that police presented evidence against al-Fayed regarding sexual abuse in 2009 and 2015.
In 2008, al-Fayed was accused of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl, and prosecutors reviewed the evidence the following year.
In 2013, the billionaire was accused of raping a woman, which was investigated in 2015.
In both cases, prosecutors said there was no “realistic prospect of a conviction” – and no charges were brought.
