Population on 01-Apr-02 : 40678
-------------------------------
Pirot is a city located in Serbia and Montenegro at 43.17? N 22.60? E. In 2003, the city had a total population of 40,800.
It is the administrative center of the Pirot District If looking for only two words as to fully describe the fate of the town such as Pirot, those would definitively be “a road” and “a boarder”. A road, an everlasting tie between the Middle Europe and the Orient, was connecting the town to a peaceful valley aside the road itself. Then again, a local history was greatly influenced by the Old Age ancient tribes, different cultures, provinces, empires, and states and nations bordering with the town. The roads trough the Balkan Ranges were stipulated by the ground configuration, including the mountain direction and the river-basins cutting trough the mountain and the peninsula itself, but a position of the fertile valley in these uplands of Europe, as well. The town of Pirot is situated on the most important road in the southeastern Europe. To be more specific, it is located in the foot of the biggest mountain range in this part of the Old Continent and on a river connecting the eastern and the western side of the Balkan Peninsula, in a value surrounded by the woodlands. In contrast to the road passing trough the same route from the very beginning, the borders were frequently changed. Despite the military politics and the economy interests of the nations inhabiting the central part of the Balkans or passing trough it as conquerors or migrants, the town remained on this very spot all this time. Although being changed frequently, the boarders always marked this very place, which was enduring the features of a specific time within. As a final point, the town of Pirot is positioned almost in the very centre of The Balkans, half-a-way between Ni? and Sofia, mid-a-road between The Pannonian Lowlands and The Thracian Lowlands and, finally, on the shortest route, when heading for Asia.
