BELGRADE, Serbia, Oct. 26 (UPI) -- Two stolen Pablo Picasso paintings have been discovered in Belgrade, police said Wednesday.

Serbian Interior Minister Ivica Dacic said Serbian investigators recovered the paintings "Head of horse" and "Glass and pitcher" with the help of Swiss police, Tanjug news agency reported.

The paintings, dating to 1944 and 1962, were stolen from an exhibition in Pfaeffikon, Switzerland, in February 2008 while there were on loan from the Sprengel Museum in Hannover, Germany.
