Original poster: Bert Hickman <bert.hickman@xxxxxxxxxx>

The 150th anniversary of Tesla's birth will be next July 10th.

?ZAGREB, Croatia ? Croatia in 2006 will celebrate the 150th anniversary of the birth of Nikola Tesla, an ethnic Serb who did pioneering work in electricity in the United States in late 19th and early 20th century, the country?s parliament decided Thursday.

The government will finance the finishing of restoration of Tesla?s home in a village in central Croatia and turn it into a museum. Conferences and lectures on Tesla?s work are also planned.
?
Damir Kajin, a deputy from the Istrian Party, said Tesla?s assertion that he was ?equally proud of my Serbian parents and my Croatian homeland? should be a model for future relations between Serbs and Croats in Croatia.?
