The Minister without portfolio in the Government of the Republic of Serbia, responsible for monitoring the situation, proposing measures and participating in the coordination of activities in the field of Serbia\u2019s relations with the diaspora, \u0110or\u0111e Mili\u0107evi\u0107, visited the Saints Cyril and Methodius Elementary School in Ku\u010devi\u0161te, Republic of North Macedonia, yesterday, on the occasion of the celebration of the school Slava \u2013 Saint Sava.<\/p>\n
Mili\u0107evi\u0107 recalled that teaching at that school unfolded in the Serbian language, saying that this was an important pillar of preserving the language, culture and identity. Saint Sava taught us that knowledge was the path to freedom and that school was the foundation of a nation. This day is more than a holiday because the identity of a nation is preserved through books, language and faith, he said.<\/p>\n
The Minister stated that this school was not only an educational institution, but a bridge between the past and the future, a place where children learnt not only letters, but also the meaning of dignity, tolerance and unity. Serbia stands by its schools, teachers, students and parents wherever they are, noted Mili\u0107evi\u0107, adding that knowledge was power.<\/p>\n
I wish you a happy school Slava and may Ku\u010devi\u0161te in North Macedonia remain a place where the Serbian word is learned, preserved and proudly passed on, he said.<\/p>\n
The ceremony was also attended by the Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of North Macedonia and Minister of Inter-Community Relations Ivan Stoilkovi\u0107, the school principal Ver\u010de Slavkovi\u0107, parents and students.<\/p>\n
