Orthodox church renews controversial call for inventor's remains to be moved to St Sava's Cathedral
A long-running dispute in Belgrade over what should be done with the remains of Nikola Tesla, one of the world's greatest inventors, has flared up again after the Serbian Orthodox church reiterated its demand for his ashes to be moved to a cathedral.
The ashes of the man who developed, among other things, the alternating current electricity supply system widely in use today have been preserved in a gold-coloured sphere in the Nikola Tesla museum in the Serbian capital since 1957.
