Brnabic, who led the state commemorative ceremony at the Jajinci Memorial Park, pointed out that we are opening a new chapter in which Serbia will become a member of the Union of European States, the largest and most successful peace project in human history, regardless of the challenges it faces today.
She underlined that we continue to confidently preserve peace and nurture anti-fascist values, and said that it is our duty to be proud of our history and to inherit the memory of ancestors and ideals, rejecting all attempts to revise history and relativise crimes.
According to her, the Serbian people was on the right side in both wars, and our ancestors, by resisting the evil, violence, terror and injustice, made an indelible contribution to the freedom and dignity of Serbia and Europe.
Today we are here again to pay our respects to the victims. We pay homage to ancestors who fought for the ideals of freedom and justice, who were killed because they were different, because their killers estimated that their path was not white enough or that their hair was too dark, that their names or surnames were inappropriate. Mostly because they had ideals, Brnabic pointed out.
She reiterated that it is the obligation of all of us to build a society on anti-fascist values with as much zeal as possible.
