  • A low water level in the Danube-Tisa-Danube canal in Novi Sad has revealed the remains of a Yugo car, locally known as a "stojadin".
  • The discovery follows the recent uncovering of 18th-century fortification remnants near the Petrovaradin Fortress due to low Danube water levels.
  • The exact circumstances of how the car ended up in the canal remain unknown, with another vehicle partially visible deeper within.

Novi Sad's Danube-Tisa-Danube canal is yielding unexpected discoveries as low water levels expose hidden remnants. Following the recent uncovering of 18th-century fortifications near the Petrovaradin Fortress, the canal itself has revealed more recent, though less historically significant, secrets.

Between the Temerinski and Klisanski bridges, the skeletal remains of a "stojadin" โ€“ a Yugo car โ€“ have surfaced. It remains a mystery how the vehicle came to rest in the canal, whether through accident, chance, or deliberate action.

Reporters observed another vehicle submerged deeper in the canal, with only its roof visible. This discovery adds to a series of finds along the Danube attributed to low water levels, including shipwrecks in Croatia, mammoth remains and a Roman bridge in Bulgaria, and other vehicles.
