Three French heirs to a collection of over 400 works of art, including by 19th century painters Renoir, Matisse and Degas, have sued Serbia, saying its National Museum in Belgrade has held the works illegally since 1949.The 429 pieces were part of a collection belonging to a prominent French art dealer and collector, Ambroise Vollard, who died in July 1939 in an accident.As World War Two broke out in Europe, part of his collection was transferred to Yugoslavian Erih Slomovic for safekeeping, but Slomovic, who was Jewish, was subsequently arrested and killed in a concentration camp in 1943.
