The central state ceremony was led by Minister of Labour, Employment, Veteran and Social Affairs Zoran Djordjevic, who said that at least what our and future generations can do is foster the memory of the ancestors and the significance of their undertaking.
At the ceremony, Djordjevic underlined, the French-German cooperation is one of the most important foundations of the EU.
Unfortunately, the region of the Western Balkans had to go through another bloody historic period in order to finally find its way into the European integration path, he said.
Serbia's strategic orientation is therefore European integration and military neutrality, he pointed out.
Wreaths and flowers were laid by representatives of the city of Belgrade, representatives of foreign embassies, associations that nurture the traditions of free wars, and after the honors, the artistic programme followed.
