On the occasion of marking the day of Serbian unity, freedom and national flag, the day when we celebrate the breakthrough of the Salonika front, we present the film Guardian of Honor and Pride dedicated to \u0110or\u0111e Mihailovi\u0107, the legendary guardian of the Serbian military cemetery Zeitenlik in Thessaloniki.<\/p>\n
Zeitenlik Serbian military cemetery is one of the holiest places for the Serbian people. Over 8,000 Serbian soldiers who died in the First World War fighting for freedom are buried there. For half a century already, their guardian \u0110or\u0111e Mihailovi\u0107 has been watching over the thousands of mounds of Serbian warriors.<\/p>\n
Since 1960, every morning before sunrise, in a military uniform, the last guardian from the Mihailovi\u0107 line has been cleaning the cemetery, opening the iron gate, lighting candles and welcoming and sending off the descendants of the warriors who were stopped in eternal peace after the terrible Golgotha and the breakthrough of the Salonika front.<\/p>\n
The 25-minute film was shot by the company World Media Banja Luka, with the support of the Republic of Srpska Representation in Greece, Ministry of European Integration and International Cooperation, and Office of the President of the Republic of Srpska.<\/p>\n
