The Army of Republika Srpska played a key role in this, and that is why the sacrifice of those who built their lives into the foundations of Srpska must never be forgotten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More than 220,000 fighters passed through the Army of Republika Srpska. 23,801 built their lives into the foundations of Srpska. Their sacrifice must not and will not be forgotten, it was stated from the celebration of Vidovdan in Prijedor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 Each of us, every Serbian fighter, every Serbian knight, carried the cross of the Kosovo heroes on their back. On that path, freedom resurrected, the holy site of Republika Srpska resurrected. On that path, none of us looked at what force was in front of us, but what holy site we were defending \u2014 said the Minister of Labor and Veterans&#8217; and Disability Protection of Republika Srpska, Radan Ostoji\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Vidovdan covenant has remained in our culture and tradition as a symbol that a person steps up when their people need to be defended, said the Prime Minister Savo Mini\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 The Defense-Patriotic War was fought precisely under that covenant. Every time we need to remember history, we must know that the best, the bravest, are not among us. The Serbian fighter has always been under the right flag. Our tricolor was on the right side of history, in every possible war \u2014 said the Prime Minister of Republika Srpska, Savo Mini\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For almost six and a half centuries, Vidovdan has been and remains a symbol of freedom, unity, and endurance of the Serbian people, points out the President of Srpska, Sinisa Karan. He states that a people who do not have their own state disappear, and especially are not free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Obilje\u017eena krsna slava Vojske Republike Srpske - Vidovdan\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XcCK0A8KoIc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 When you say Vidovdan, you see 600 years of struggle of the Serbian people for freedom. You see its tragedy, all its falls and all its rises and resurrections. What we want to say today is that the Serbs from this side of the Drina have fulfilled both the Saint Sava and the Vidovdan covenant, and that covenant is called Republika Srpska \u2014 emphasized the President of Republika Srpska, Sinisa Karan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The heritage of the Army of Republika Srpska is now cherished by the Third Infantry Regiment &#8220;Republika Srpska&#8221; of the Armed Forces of BiH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 The Serbian soldier has never led wars of conquest, but has exclusively led defensive wars and, in that sacrifice of his, brought freedom to his Serbian people, but also to other peoples \u2014 stated the Deputy Minister of Defense in the Council of Ministers, Aleksandar Goganovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The krsna slava of the Army of Republika Srpska was also celebrated in the barracks in Bijeljina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 Vidovdan is one of the greatest dates in the history of the Serbian people, which gives many messages of courage and freedom. It is also a day of remembrance for all Serbian heroes from the Battle of Kosovo until today \u2014 said the commander of the barracks &#8220;Vojvoda Stepa Stepanovi\u0107&#8221;, Bijeljina, Colonel Dragana Stevanovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the Battle of Kosovo to the Defense-Patriotic War, Vidovdan remains a symbol of sacrifice and perseverance of the Serbian people. Precisely on these values, it was stated from the ceremony, rests the obligation to nurture the tradition of the Army of Republika Srpska and the memory of all who gave their lives for Srpska.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">MORE TOPICS:<\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/horror-in-zrenjanin-the-body-of-a-man-in-a-state-of-decomposition-found-at-the-bathing-beach-police-trying-to-determine-the-identity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">HORROR IN ZRENJANIN: The body of a man in a state of decomposition found at the bathing beach, police trying to determine the identity!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/the-general-is-still-immobile-he-feels-a-little-better-ratko-mladics-condition-still-serious-today-he-is-being-examined-by-a-serbian-neuropsychiatrist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">\u201cTHE GENERAL IS STILL IMMOBILE, HE FEELS A LITTLE BETTER\u201d: Ratko Mladi\u0107\u2019s condition still serious, today he is being examined by a Serbian neuropsychiatrist!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/the-peak-of-the-heatwave-in-serbia-here-is-where-it-was-warmest-at-noon-and-which-city-is-convincingly-the-hottest\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">THE PEAK OF THE HEATWAVE IN SERBIA: Here is where it was warmest at noon and which city is convincingly the hottest!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/about-50000-people-considered-missing-venezuela-on-the-brink-of-collapse-citizens-digging-through-the-ruins-with-their-bare-hands\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">ABOUT 50,000 PEOPLE CONSIDERED MISSING: Venezuela on the brink of collapse, citizens digging through the ruins with their bare hands!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/there-was-a-spread-of-panic-there-are-no-injuries-the-mia-made-a-statement-about-the-alleged-incident-at-the-belgrade-music-week-festival-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">\u201cTHERE WAS A SPREAD OF PANIC, THERE ARE NO INJURIES\u201d: The MIA made a statement about the alleged incident at the Belgrade Music Week festival!
