The President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, received Serbian children from the region in the building of the General Secretariat of the President of the Republic.

– Thank you very much for being here today, this is your house and you are not guests here, you are at your own. This is your country and it will always welcome you with open arms – said Vučić.

He told the children that theirs was to play, learn and love their country, and that the state would do everything to provide them with best possible living conditions.

– Next time, let us meet in another venue, let us visit Belgrade Waterfront, let me show you, explain to you how it used to be, that we had big dreams and that we realized those dreams. So that you see that you too can have big dreams and that you can build Serbia in every sense – said Vučić.

The children offered Vučić drawings as a present and received presents at the end of the reception.

Belgrade hosts the first opening of the six summer camps, which will accommodate 800 Serbian children from the region aged 12 to 18 until 29 August.

The first camp will receive 90 children from Kumanovo, North Macedonia, for five days, and then Belgrade will host children from Romania, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia.

During their stay, the children will have the opportunity to participate in various sports activities and to see several theater plays and cinema screenings.
