On the occasion of the 95th anniversary of the birth of the national hero and statesman Veljko Milatović and the commemoration of ten years of the restoration of the independence of Montenegro, SUBNOR of Montenegro and UBNOR of anti-fascist Nikšić organized a festive academy.
Speaking about the life of Milatović, Slobodan Mirjačić, president of UBNOR, said that "Veljko was adorned with all the virtues of a man, a visionary, a democrat, a friend of all well-meaning people".
"He was far-sighted, rich in spirit, and above all modest and unobtrusive. He spoke little, and when he spoke, he quickly convinced his interlocutors of the correctness of his story. He behaved with ordinary people as if he was with them every day, intimately and cordially. Numerous articles, interviews, conversations, monographs, books have been written about Veljko, but Veljko is an untold story," said Mirjačić.
Branko Lukovac said that Milatović, with his knowledge, experience, wisdom and advice, contributed a lot to the determination for the independence and independence of Montenegro to prevail in Montenegro, in the leadership and in the public.
And Marko Špadijer pointed out that, as he said, the seeds of Montenegrin sovereignty with Milatović. According to him, Milatović was an extraordinary man, a good-natured person who rejected stereotypes about people and tried to see the best in every person. Milatović, as Špadijer said, always emphasized the moral and not the political values of man, he did not like populism, and even less popularity.
The writer Branko Banjević spared no words of praise for Milatović, visionary and statesman, revolutionary and national hero, a man who, as he said, was one of the most honorable, most complete, freest and humane personalities he knew.
"The man who is brave and moral at all times is free. It was enough for him to be free, to be a man," said Banjević and added that Milatović was one of the greatest figures in Montenegrin history.
"I never felt him as an authority. He was not blind to reality, but saw everything. He belonged to the culture as much as to the fight," said Banjević and said that as long as Nikšić remembers Milatović, he will know what he needs to progress.
The choir of the "Dara Čokorilo" Music School, Vesna Vučinić, Vili Ferdinandi, Bojana Marković, Tijana Blečić took part in the program, while Jana Bjelic and Miro Nikolić led the program and read excerpts.
