The tenth Days of Srpska in Serbia were solemnly opened last night in Belgrade.<\/p>\n
The ceremony was attended by the highest representatives of Srpska and Serbia, His Holiness Serbian Patriarch Porfirije, ministers of the two governments, army and police generals, academicians, prominent artists and businessmen.<\/p>\n
The event was officially opened by an appropriate oration of the Prime Minister of the Republic of Srpska, Radovan Vi\u0161kovi\u0107.<\/p>\n
Vi\u0161kovi\u0107 pointed out that since 2013, the aim of this event had been to strengthen the ties between the Serbian people on both sides of the Drina, and primarily those related to establishing connections, be they in business, science or culture.<\/p>\n
\u2013 It is a great pleasure for me that tonight, here in Belgrade, in the temple of Serbian culture, we are ceremoniously opening the tenth edition of the Days of Srpska in Serbia, a unique event that thus also confirms Serbian unity. In the next six days, various cultural contents, tourist sites and natural beauty, as well as investment opportunities of the Republic of Srpska will be presented in 10 cities across Serbia \u2013 Vi\u0161kovi\u0107 said.<\/p>\n
The prime minister noted that Serbia was the most important partner of the Republic of Srpska, but, above all, a friend and ally.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Need it be noted that our largest foreign trade partner, but also investor, is Serbia, with total investments of as much as two billion and 140 million BAM. It is often said that there are no friendships in politics and international relations, only interests. The Republic of Srpska and Serbia prove exactly the opposite \u2013 a sincere unity, friendship and partnership that endure and will endure as long as the Serbian people \u2013 emphasized Vi\u0161kovi\u0107.<\/p>\n
Patriarch Porfirije blessed the Srpska Days in Serbia, saying that Serbs needed to be united wherever they lived and to build the future by following the testament left by the blessedly reposed Serbian Patriarch Pavle \u2013 Let us be human.<\/p>\n
Patriarch Porfirije expressed his satisfaction with the tonight\u2019s gathering in Belgrade, recalling that the Republic of Srpska, which he called the youngest sister of Nemanja\u2019s Ra\u0161ka, had been born on the historical native land of Tvrtko I and received the name Srpska at the time of the immortal patriarchate of the successor of Saint Sava and his own unmatched predecessor, Patriarch Pavle who had lived what he had taught others \u2013 to be human.<\/p>\n
\u2013 This light-bearing thread connected us tonight and brought us into a unity which shows the beauty of God\u2019s gifts and diversity. It is a bequest and a sacred obligation of each one of us, Serbs, no matter where and with whom we live, and above all here in our native areas \u2013 said the patriarch.<\/p>\n
The President of the National Assembly of Serbia, Vladimir Orli\u0107, said that during the Days of Srpska in Serbia, essentially everyone was the host because everyone was at home there, stressing that harmony, unity, brotherly love and closeness were indisputable.<\/p>\n
He noted that this produced significant cooperation to the benefit and pride of our one and only nation.<\/p>\n
\u2013 And this event, which has already become traditional, is an outstanding example of cooperation, and this year we have a jubilee. It connects further our cities, municipalities, people, strengthens the ties of the people on both sides of the Drina \u2013 said Orli\u0107.<\/p>\n
The Head of the Republic of Srpska Representative Office in Serbia, Mla\u0111en Cicovi\u0107, said that this event, in addition to presenting Srpska to Serbia, intended to contribute to fostering Serbian unity, preserving Serbian language and script, religion and traditional values.<\/p>\n
Cicovi\u0107 stated that these values were love for the close ones, tolerance for neighbors, recognition of Serbian national interests in culture and science, business and politics.<\/p>\n
He pointed out that this event made the already never better cooperation between the Republic of Srpska and Serbia seem even more visible and abundant in its own way in the joy of the unity of the Serbian people on both sides of the Drina.<\/p>\n
