25 years ago, defending the fatherland, on the front line, by enemy hands, in the battles around the Ko\u0161are outpost, infantry lieutenant Aleksandar \u0110urovi\u0107 from Priboj was killed.
It was a bloody Saint George’s Day in 1999, and this May 6th, the hero’s burial place, in his native Crnuza, near Priboj, was visited by former comrades-in-arms and commanders, local government leaders, neighbors, friends, and schoolmates, along with his family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Years pass, but memories live on. Heroic deeds must not be forgotten. We must remember. Heroes and their deeds. Because they gave the most sacred thing they had for this country, their lives. On the ramparts of the fatherland, on the holy Serbian land in Kosovo and Metohija, many Serbian heroes remained. Among them was Aleksandar \u0110urovi\u0107 from Priboj, an active officer, the best in his class, an infantry lieutenant, the commander of the Department of the famous Fifth Battalion of the Military Police,” those gathered at the commemoration of the Serbian hero told RINA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the demonstrated courage and heroism, Lieutenant \u0110urovi\u0107 also received a medal for bravery, and Aleksandar’s comrades, members of the Association of Veterans of the Security Agencies and Military Police of Serbia, come every year to the annual memorial service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
