\u2018The entire event Serbia Is Calling You is a wonderful event. This year again we have a record number of children from a record number of countries. I am very proud to be able to host you here in Belgrade, at the Palace of Serbia,\u2019 said President Vu\u010di\u0107.<\/p>\n
Vu\u010di\u0107 recalled that this camp had been gathering young Serbs from all over the world for five years and stated that every new generation filled him with renewed joy and stronger faith in the future, a beautiful future of our people.<\/p>\n
\u2018I am glad that you have already seen the Church of St Sava and Belgrade Waterfront promenade, and I believe that also you coming from America, Canada, Australia, from almost all European countries, including Benelux countries, Germany, France, Italy and all countries of the region, will grow to love Belgrade even more. And you, children from our country from Kosovo and Metohija and those who came from the Republic of Srpska, thank you very much for being here today,\u2019 said Vu\u010di\u0107 to the children.<\/p>\n
He recalled the verses by the Serbian poet Aleksa \u0160anti\u0107 \u2018wherever there is a Serbian soul, there is my homeland, my home and my native hearth\u2019 and stated his deep gratitude for the opportunity, even briefly, to be part of this community.<\/p>\n
\u2018Dear children, in front of me I see not only young athletes, but also future leaders, ambassadors of our culture and members of a big family that is connected not only by race, but above all by a huge love for Serbia. For the unaware, there are children here who play football, basketball, handball, volleyball, and tennis, they are very successful, some are members of their national teams,\u2019 said Vu\u010di\u0107.<\/p>\n
He told the children that Serbia was not just a place on the map, but a feeling of love and belonging.<\/p>\n
\u2018She is in our heart, but also in yours, in your every step, in your every victory and in every friendship you have made here,\u2019 said Vu\u010di\u0107 and thanked the camp organizers for creating a safe and inspiring place where children can learn and develop.<\/p>\n
\u2018Finally, I want to tell you that I am very proud of all of you. When you return to your homes outside Serbia, always keep in mind \u0160anti\u0107\u2019s verses and my words. Serbia is always within you, because the Serbian heart beats in you,\u2019 Vu\u010di\u0107 concluded.<\/p>\n
The children offered the president a framed world map with marked countries they come from, while they received tablets from Vu\u010di\u0107.<\/p>\n
The camp Serbia Is Calling You has been gathering children from Kosovo and Metohija, from the region and the diaspora for five years.
