Minister Vulin wrote in the memorial guest book:
“The history of the Serbian Armed Forces is the history of Serbia. In difficult times, the military and the people are one, so victory is indisputable and surrender is not possible. No human force has conquered Serbia, neither will a disease. Our ancestors won freedom for us and we will preserve it for posterity. ”
On 23rd April, 1815, on the Christian festival “Cveti”, the Second Serbian Uprising was staged in Takovo, which marks a historic turning point in the creation of a modern Serbian state and army. Since 2012, 23rd April has been marked as the Serbian Armed Forces Day.
