      Not anymore. The People's Salvation Cathedral (Romanian: Catedrala Mântuirii Neamului), also known as the National Cathedral (Romanian: Catedrala Națională), an Eastern Orthodox cathedral under construction in Bucharest, which will serve as the patriarchal cathedral of the Romanian Orthodox Church, is the largest and the tallest and will therefore have the biggest mosaics as well.

    Just a small correction. The remains of Saint Sava were originally buried in Tarnovo, Bulgaria where he died (he did a lot of traveling) and were later transferred to the Mileševa Monastery near the town of Prijepolje, which is in south-west Serbia. Only after a failed rebellion were they dug up, taken to the Vračar plateau where the Temple now stands (a Temple is any church shaped like an equal-armed cross rather than the more traditional elongated cross).
    There are plenty of purists that will insist on a very strict dress code when entering a church, e.g. long pants and shirts for men, dresses and head covering for women and such, but in practice covering your knees and shoulders for both genders is the more de facto standard, for both locals and foreign tourists alike.

    Mosaics inside the St Sava temple were made by Russian artists. Big part of it is donation of Russia.
    Many great places aside from St Sava temple and some other churches were made by Russian architects too.
    So no wonder about huge respect and love for Russia and Russians in Serbia.
    They were never throwing bombs here, instead they were acting progressively all the time (leave aside communism, that was the business of USSR, not to be mixed with Russia).

    Sveti Sava isn't the founder of religion. He is a founder of Serbian Orthodox church. There is a difference. The Orthodox religion existed way before. The real meaning of the word Orthodox means the real celebration in Slavic languages. If you take a moment to read about The great schism, you'll find out that the Catholicism was a sinful separation from the one true Christianity that is today specified as Orthodoxy in order to specify which is which. But Orthodoxy is basically a one true belief.

    This church is a tourist destination so the rules are a bit lax, otherwise it's custom in Orthodox churches that you have to cover your limbs, men can't wear hats and women have to cover their head when they enter so they way you were dressed is not appropriate and if you go to any other Orthodox church in Serbia you will likely be denied entrance. Just an FYI as in an interesting fact, not a critique in any way.
