Summary/Abstract: During WW I many Serbian soldiers’ cemeteries were made in Greece. The well known are Zeytinlik (Thessaloniki) and Kosturnica on the island of Vido, that is, Blue cemetery in the water on Ionic Sea. These are historic monuments, visited by many thousands of Serbs each year. Except for their artistic values, these places are held to have other values for the visitors. This paper discusses functions and meanings these cemeteries have in everyday life of the contemporary Serbs on collective and individual plans.
