Gradska opstina Palilula

I congratulate all the citizens of Palilula Municipality in Nis on Statehood Day.

SRETENJE is a day that reminds us how Serbs heroically fought for both freedom and democracy. The struggle for national liberation from the Turks, which was started by the leader Karadjordje in 1804 with national unity and great battles, continued with the adoption of the Constitution of Sretenje in 1835. The Sretenje constitution of Serbia was made in the image of the Belgian and French constitutional laws and charters of that time, and it was very liberal and modern. He hinted at the beginning of modern European democracy.

Courage and state wisdom, patriotism and democracy, are the achievements of our statehood and further development of Serbia. Long live Serbia!

Bratislav Vuckovic, President of the City Municipality of Palilula Nis
