ARMISTICE DAY MARKED BY LAYING FLOWER WREATS ON THE BRITISH AND SERBIAN SOLDIERS CEMETARY

At the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, at the exact time when a hundred years ago when hostilities ceased on the Western Front in 1918, the memorial service was held at the military cemetery at Delijski Vis, where the British and Serbian soldiers who were killed in First World War were buried together. With the highest state and military honors the wreaths were laid by official City of Nis delegation and the delegations of the Serbian Army, the Police, the Nisava Administrative District, the Russian-Serbian Humanitarian Center, the Association of the Descendants of War Participants and other. On this occasion City of Nis Deputy Mayor Milos Bandjur said that this was one of the most important days for whole Serbian nation, which reminded us of the end of a great war for homeland, for bare survival and salvation of the nation. “We are proud of the heroism and the undertaking made by the Serbian soldier and all the Serbian people, and because of the fact that the Serbian armies draw in blood the borders of the common state of Yugoslavia. But, from today’s point of view, we must be sad. We are one of the saddest nations that marks the end of a great war, because the question is whether the people who lost one third of the population and 52 percent of the male population have won,” as Deputy Mayor Bandjur pointed out and added that too great a victim was given for something in what we believed, for a state that turned out to be the goal just for us, while for everyone else it was a means to achieve some other goal. “
