Macut attends ceremonial academy marking Serbia’s Statehood Day in Vukovar

Belgrade/Vukovar, 20 February 2026

Prime Minister Professor Đuro Macut, MD, DSc, today attended a ceremonial academy at the Serbian Home in Vukovar on the occasion of Serbia’s Statehood Day.

Macut stated that the state of Serbia will do everything to ensure that the Serbian people in Croatia remain and endure in their ancestral homes and exercise the rights that belong to them – the right to their language, script and church.

All our institutions stand ready at any moment to help make your daily lives easier. It is our duty and obligation to guarantee your rights and to be your partner in all your activities, the Prime Minister emphasised.

Speaking about Serbia’s Statehood Day, he recalled that our ancestors, who created the modern Serbian state more than two centuries ago, were driven by a desire for freedom, but also by the ability to recognise the importance of education and learning.

This is something we too must do today, wherever we may be. We must be aware that only through learning, education and professional development can we preserve our identity and our name, the Prime Minister said, adding that our state is ready to provide maximum assistance to all our compatriots, wherever they may live.

According to him, this is why an agreement was recently signed to facilitate the recognition of qualifications, so that at least one bureaucratic hurdle could be removed.

During his visit to Vukovar and Dalj, the Prime Minister also met with representatives of the clergy and the Holy Petka Foundation to discuss the position of Serbs in Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western Syrmia.
