"Even today, every Serbian soldier is guided by your immortal feats in their infinite love for their homeland.Rest in peace and be confident that they are committed to preserving the memory of you, that they wear military uniform with dignity and strive hard to preserve the free and independent Serbia that you fought for.
Heroes, may your memory live forever. Thank you”.
