Vucic with Serbian children from the region: The Serbs are one people no matter where they live

The President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, today received children from the region – Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, and Slovenia, who live in Belgrade, and told them to always know that the Serbs were one people no matter where they lived and that the most important thing for the Serbs was to preserve their language, writing system, culture, and to take care of each other regardless of which side of the Drina and Danube they lived on and to build the future together.

Vucic greeted the children, daycare teacher, and teachers and thanked them for being in the Presidency of Serbia.

"This is your house, you are not guests, you are on your own land, this is your land," Vucic said to the children from Vukovar, Trpinja, Negoslavci, Drvar, and Koper...

He asked them to play, and study, but also to learn the Cyrillic alphabet and to love their Serbia.

"We will try to help as much as we can, to be with you as much as your parents are with their Serbia, and we cannot imagine a greater love. Those in Serbia can never understand how much Serbia is loved by those on the other side of the Drina and the Danube," he said.

He expressed his infinite happiness that they were present there today and asked them what they had liked the most in Belgrade, whether the Church of Saint Sava, the National Museum...

"The temple is really beautiful, probably the most beautiful and not only the Orthodox one, but it is definitely the most beautiful Orthodox temple with the mosaic," Vucic said and invited them to come to Belgrade always and as often as possible.

As he stated, next time he might go on a tour with them, maybe Belgrade Waterfront, to explain to them how it had been before it had been renovated.

"But we had dreams, big dreams, maybe one day you too will build Serbia. We love you very much, you are as much a host here as we are, thank you and welcome to your house," Vucic said.

Tara Sekulic from Croatia conveyed warm greetings from the region.

"Our people carry the culture, language, and country in their minds and hearts. We feel here every moment that we are among our own, we would like to host you in the villages and towns where we come from, and we would like to show you the Serbian culture. Thank you Serbia for everything," Tara said.

Dusica Runic, mayor of the Drvar municipality, told journalists that all those who lived west of the Drina saw Belgrade and Serbia as their home.

"I am glad that I can participate in this program; in this way, we contribute to the youngest people experiencing these parts as their home tomorrow because those of us who live outside of Serbia perceive Serbia as a second home and mother to all the Serbs," Runic said.

As she stated, care for the Serbs from the region had been improved since Vucic had become President, who, she recalled, had been to Drvar twice.

With the help of Serbia, as she says, they managed to solve problems that may be small for some, but huge for them.

The girl Milica Sabljic from Drvar said that she liked Belgrade Waterfront and the Church of Saint Sava the most.

"I like to come here, it was nice," she said and indicated that she would come again.
