St. Vidovdan is not just a day of remembrance - it is a day of vows, vows to faith, freedom and the right to be ourselves in our own place, announced today the Deputy Prime Minister of the Government of Montenegro for Demography and Youth and Minister of Sports and Youth, Dragoslav Šćekić.
"On this day, in 1389, on Kosovo Polje, our ancestors did not go to death - but to immortality. They left us a signpost: there is no freedom without sacrifice, nor a state without dignity. Like many times throughout history, then we were at the gate and the defender of Europe, preserving the values of freedom, culture and duration with our lives. This must be known and respected - because this is how unity, which has often been violated among the peoples of Europe, is best preserved and built. Today, more than ever, it is our obligation to preserve what they died for - our identity, our Serbian people. We do not agree to oblivion, to rewriting history, or to humiliation under the pretext of modernity," Šćekić stressed in a statement submitted by the Socialist People's Party (SNP), of which he is the vice president.
He added that "our people, wherever they live, have the right to live freely and with dignity."
"Vidovdan is a vow – and a vow is not broken. Cheers to Vidovdan," said Šćekić.
