Central state ceremony marking St. Vitus Day held in Kruševac
Kruševac,
28 June 2025
The state ceremony, held at Kosovo Heroes Square (Trg kosovskih junaka) in Kruševac, was also attended by Minister of Defence Bratislav Gašić, government ministers, members of the Ministry of Defence and the Serbian Armed Forces, representatives of local authorities and numerous citizens.
In his address, Macut highlighted the importance of today’s holiday, emphasising that our six-century-long St. Vitus Day gathering is with each passing year becoming ever more important, significant and essential.
Gašić stated that St. Vitus Day symbolises the centuries-long struggle to preserve the identity of the Serbian people, and the fight for freedom and justice.
This great holiday reminds us of the selflessness and courage of our ancestors, who understood that honour and freedom are worth as much as life itself, the Minister said, adding that this very awareness is woven into the foundation of both our people and our army.
As their successors, we must continue along that same path – the path of preserving peace and stability, but also of building a better future for all of us, Gašić concluded.
