Easter greetings of the Minister of Defence



Easter greetings of the Minister of Defence

On the occasion of the major Christian festival, the Resurrection of our Lord, Jesus Christ, I extend my cordial greetings to all the members of the Ministry of Defence and the Serbian Armed Forces who observe this festival in accordance with the Julian calendar.

Today, when almost the entire world, including our country, is facing the scourge of biblical proportions caused by a new disease, it is necessary that we fight the great battle together, through actions and prayer, in order to preserve our people.

I wish you continued success in fulfilling your tasks, illuminated by the light of Christ's resurrection, and knowing that this is the true path to building the peace in our fatherland.

Christ rose from the dead and brought joy and hope to all who believe in His resurrection, that they will emerge victorious from all life’s adversities. Therefore, wishing that the Risen Lord preserves your health and the health of your loved ones during this difficult period for our people and our country, I greet you with the triumphant greeting:

CHRIST IS RISEN!

Easter greetings to His Holiness Patriarch Irinej of Serbia

Your Holiness,

On behalf of the members of the Ministry of Defence and the Serbian Armed Forces and on my personal behalf, I extend my best wishes and cordial greetings as you celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

In this difficult time, when we are all waging a great battle for the preservation of our people together, through actions and prayer, may the Risen Lord give you good health and spiritual strength to continue to steadfastly guide Serbian Church which God has entrusted to you.

Just as Christ has resurrected, so with faith that we too will emerge victorious from this battle, I greet you with the greeting of the victory of life over death:

CHRIST IS RISEN!
