“In the Middle Ages, our country became a respectable country in medieval Europe. Today, sadly, we do not have, say, any medieval ruler on banknotes, we do not feed the memory of the Middle Ages as our medieval rulers deserve and for I’m especially happy about that, Serbian President Aleksandar Vui, we got a monument to Stefan Nemanja, “Vesi noted.
He added that the erection of such a monument shows that Serbia finally cares about its history, culture and that it respects itself first, and when it respects itself, it can also travel to others.
As he said, the time when we are ashamed of our past, when we do not care to nurture our cultural, social, historical values, and when we apologize to others is gone forever.
