Brnabic: Only strong Serbia can solve issues of national interest

BELGRADE - Congratulating Serbians on Statehood Day, Serbian PM Ana Brnabic said on Thursday only an economically strong and stable Serbia, governed by people who truly loved their country, could persevere in solving issues of state and national interest.

"On behalf of the Government of Serbia and on my own behalf, I congratulate the citizens of Serbia on the national holiday Statehood Day as we commemorate the Sretenje (The Meeting of the Lord) Constitution, the foundation of the modern Serbian state, and remember our glorious ancestors whose vision of a modern and free state we live today," Brnabic wrote in her Statehood Day message, released by the government press office.

"Only an economically strong and stable Serbia, governed by people who truly love their country, can persevere in solving issues of state and national interest. That is why, being aware of our responsibility, we have the obligation to safeguard our country eternally and continue to cherish the origins of Serbian statehood and constitutionality in the modern era," Brnabic noted.
