Brothers Karl and Peter Stefanovic will be honoured with their own park alongside other notable Australians of Serbian descent
They have both forged successful careers in media.
And now brothers Karl and Peter Stefanovic are to be recognised as two high-profile Australians of Serbian descent, by a South Western Sydney council.
As reported by The Sunday Telegraph, Karl, 46, and Peter, 38, whose father is half Serbian, will be honoured with their own public park, alongside other notable personalities.

The location of the park and how exactly how the brothers will be honoured, is yet to be made public.
In a pitch by Liverpool councillors, obtained by The Sunday Telegraph, the park ‘would honour modern Australians of Serbian descent such as Rale Rasic, Jelena Dokic, Professor Ana Deletic, and Karl and Peter Stefanovic’.
It will, however, not be named the ‘Stefanovic Park’.
Appearing on Nova’s Kate, Tim and Marty radio show in May 2017, Karl revealed that his surname is often pronounced incorrectly.

‘Is there a Serbian version of Stefanovic? Have we tidied it up for the Anglo world we live in?’ radio host Marty Sheargold asked Karl.
‘Yes – Stef-AHN-oh-VICH,’ he responded, adding that after a few issues at school, his father ‘changed it to Stefanovic’ as it ‘sounded more Australian’.
Karl began his career with the Nine Network as a reporter for National Nine News in Brisbane back in 2000.

However, he is most known for his role on Nine’s Today show, which he currently co-hosts alongside Allison Langdon.
Peter commenced his career at Nine as a reporter for A Current Affair and Nine News in 2004.
After a lengthy stint as a foreign correspondent, Peter returned home, landing roles on Nine’s Weekend Today and 60 Minutes.
He now co-hosts Sky News Australia’s First Edition alongside Laura Jayes.
