Lisičji Potok (Serbian Cyrillic: Лисичји Поток, romanized: Fox Creek) is an urban neighborhood of Belgrade, the capital of Serbia.
[1] Halfway between the Beli Dvor and the seat of the local community Košutnjak, there is a drinking fountain which is built at the spring of the Lisičji Potok creek.
Named King's drinking fountain (Serbian Cyrillic: Краљева чесма, Kraljeva česma), it was built and consecrated on 5 July 1936 when it was ceremonially handed over to Belgrade's mayor Vlada Ilić.
[4][5] After the Partisans liberated Belgrade from Germans in the fall of 1944, the new Communist authorities conducted reprisals and organized massive executions of population.
The park would also include a small, stone-made amphitheater, newly planted trees and flowers, benches and a cross-shaped monument dedicated to the victims of the Communist regime.
Groups of self-organized citizens, family members of the executed ones, take care of the location which remains in bad shape.
[6] Lisičji Potok used to be rarely inhabited wooded area and it was chosen as a location for the military depot for medical supplies.
In the early 2000s, due to the political changes which caused a vacuum in all levels of government, private entrepreneurs without gaining regular permits cut down over 1,000 trees for the purpose of constructing vast apartment complexes.
