On the Day of Serbian Unity, Freedom and National Flag, the Alliance of Serbian Associations of Slovenia (SSDS) and the Alliance of Serbs of Slovenia (SSS) officially signed the Declaration on the Fundamental Principles of Cooperation. This document is the first step toward unity of the Serbian community in Slovenia and creates space for deepening cooperation between the two largest alliances of Serbs from Slovenia.

Both Alliances have the same goals – to preserve fundamental features of Serbian identity – Serbian language, Cyrillic alphabet, culture, tradition and national symbols.

The declaration notes that both alliances recognized the need to achieve unity of the Serbian national community in Slovenia, and emphasizes their common commitment to preserving the fundamental features of Serbian identity – Serbian language, Cyrillic alphabet, culture, tradition and national symbols. Through joint work and projects, SSDS and SSS are ready to contribute to the realization of these goals, which they recognize as a starting point, but at the same time as strategic priorities in protecting the rights and position of Serbs in Slovenia.

SSS President, Vladimir Kokanović, MA, pointed out on this occasion that he was very glad that the signing of the joint declaration took place precisely on the day of marking the breakthrough of the Salonika Front, the day of Serbian victories and all-Serbian unity. ‘I believe that this is only the first step in our joint efforts to work on uniting the entire Serbian community in Slovenia. I am grateful to our SSDS friends and partners and I am looking forward to deepening our future cooperation.’
