Anniversary of the death of the guards at Dragisa Misovic Clinical-Hospital Centre
Laying wreaths at the monument to the members of the Guards Brigade of the Yugoslav Armed Forces and patients of Dr Dragisa Misovic Clinical-Hospital Centre, killed in NATO bombings marked the 15th anniversary of their death.
Wreaths were laid by the delegation of the Serbian Armed Forces, led by Brigadier General Milomir Todorovic, Commander of the Serbian Armed Forces Guard, then the City of Belgrade headed by Nikola Nikodijevic, President of the Assembly of Belgrade City, as well as representatives of Dragisa Misovic hospital, families and friends of the dead and families of those killed in the Serbian Broadcasting Company building.- Our duty is to preserve the memory. We cannot bring the lives, but we must keep the memory of the people who are innocent victims and spread the knowledge of what happened 15 years ago and what injustice and damage were inflicted on Serbia. Hoping that something like that will never happen again to us, we will mark this date every year, because although these are mourning days for us today and we are suffering major disasters, we will strive to preserve the memory of all those who gave their lives for the country working honestly and fairly, so that we can live in peace today and be able to defend it – Nikola Nikodijevic said.
