Victory Day historic date, pledge to preserve peace, freedom
Belgrade,
9 May 2026
Minister of Labour, Employment, Veteran and Social Affairs Milica Đurđević Stamenkovski stated in her address that, for the Serbian people, freedom has always been more valuable than life itself and has been paid for at the highest price.
She recalled that Serbia was among the first to rise up against that evil in both the First and the Second World War.
Therefore, Serbia today has not only a moral duty, but also the historical right, to call for reconciliation, dialogue, agreement and reason, Đurđević Stamenkovski said.
The Minister stated that there can be no solution to the Balkan issue without resolving the Serbian national question, adding that it is therefore our obligation to remind both our European partners and friends, in the East and the West, that we have always been on the right side of history.
Brnabić stressed that today there is no greater duty for each of us than the fight for remembrance and memory, for shedding new light on the past and the factual circumstances related to the Second World War, in opposition to relativisation.
Peace is the only battle worth fighting, and Serbia intends only to pursue that goal, Brnabić said, adding that the fight against forgetting is important so that we may once again have a future that is possible only through peace, dialogue and compromise.
