The Minister of European Integration and International Cooperation of the Republic of Srpska, Zlatan Klokić, said on Zlatibor that the greatest value of Serbs was their unity, wherever they were.

Addressing the many guests at the Unity and Strength – Serbia event, Klokić noted that he was pleased that Serbs from all over the world had gathered precisely on Vidovdan.

– Know that in these difficult times for all of us, the greatest value is our unity. Do not let those who want to violate that unity deceive you, even on this day. It is indissoluble, sacred and we will always promote it as the central and most important issue – said Klokić.

– I am glad that we have gathered precisely on this day. Vidovdan is an important date for Serbs, and that is why my heart is full when I see such a large number of our people in one place, having arrived from all over the world – stated Klokić.

He noted that Serbs from the diaspora were ambassadors of culture, language and tradition, who spread the values of the Serbian people around the world.

– Therefore, protect and defend Serbia and Srpska wherever you are – said Klokić.

Minister Klokić noted the importance of preserving national identity through language, script, culture, tradition and customs.

– The institutions of the Republic of Srpska and Serbia are ready for all our compatriots living abroad and the doors are open for them for all activities they wish to carry out in the Republic of Srpska and Serbia – said Klokić while attending the panel discussion on The Role of the Diaspora in the Process of Preserving Cultural, Educational and National Identity as part of the two-day Unity and Strength – Serbia event on Zlatibor.

Minister Klokić stated that the Serbian people should be united as that was the only way of their preservation in these challenging times.
