The 63rd anniversary of the breakthrough of the Sremski Front in the Second World War was marked today at the Sremski Front Memorial in Adasevci near Sid.
Wreaths were laid at the memorial by Minister of Culture Vojislav Brajovic, on behalf of the Serbian government, as well as representatives of the embassies of Russia, Ukraine and Belarus, the Serbian Army and the Federation of Associations of Veterans of the National Liberation War (SUBNOR) of Serbia, Croatia, Macedonia and Republika Srpska.
The anniversary of the breakthrough of the Sremski Front was celebrated with the highest state and military honours.
Speaking at the event, Brajovic said that cherishing the memory of the innocent victims of the members of the Yugoslav National Liberation Army and the civilian population is a debt the modern generation must pay.
He said that war is one of the most tragic events showing the alienation, intolerance and enmity the human race suffers from and the Second World War has become memorable for the sheer volume of massive crimes which frequently transgressed into genocide.
According to Brajovic, it is the obligation of a democratic and civil society to cherish the memory of innocent victims and freedom fighters, to protect it from being erased and thus to contribute to creating a world where such events may never be repeated.
Members of the Yugoslav National Liberation Army and its allies broke through many enemy lines after months of fighting and enormous sacrifices so that finally the country could be led to freedom in the Second World War.
From October 21, 1944 to April 12, 1945, a battle was fought for 175 days in which more than 250,000 soldiers took part on both sides, and the Yugoslav National Liberation Army was joined by troops of the Red Army, the Bulgarian Army and Italian brigades.
