Željka Cvijanović, the Serb member of the BiH Presidency, sent the Serb people her greetings on World War One Armistice Day.
She reminded that in the Great War they had stood on the right side of history, the side of truth, justice and freedom.
“On World War One Armistice Day, November 11, we pay deep tribute to all our ancestors, glorious patriots who, guided by faith, courage and boundless love for their homeland, made immeasurable sacrifices for the freedom of their people,” Cvijanović said in her message.
She said that for the Serb people November 11 was a day of great victory and the fulfillment of a centuries-old aspiration for freedom, but also a date that reminded of enormous suffering and magnificent feats.
“We remember with pride and gratitude their glorious struggle and the fact that in the Great War the Serb people stood on the right side of history – the side of truth, justice and freedom,” Cvijanović said.
She said their heroic sacrifice remained a lasting warning, but also a pledge and a duty to preserve peace, cherish freedom and honor with dignity the memory of those who had won that freedom through their suffering and courage.
“Eternal glory and gratitude to them,” Cvijanović said.
