We do not forget NATO aggression; Vučić in Prokuplje: They wanted to destroy Serbia, but we are not giving up

The ceremony was held on the Square of Heroes of Toplica.

"This nation is stronger and Serbia is stronger than you think"

Vučić: They wanted to destroy our Serbia, but we are not giving up yet

"The first NATO bomb that killed a Serbian soldier fell right here, it killed Boban Nedeljkovic. I mentioned that because his father said: What is more important to you, a child, your son or your country? Even when it happened to him, he could not answer that question. And they killed Boban because they wanted to destroy our Serbia and they think they succeeded in that. Many years have passed and we still don't give up," said Vučić.

"There is a small nation that does not accept orders from the outside, that fights for its children and the future," continued the President of Serbia.

He also recalled that little Bojana Tošović died in her father's arms.

"Tonight I visited the family of little Bojana, the youngest child, a baby who was killed by NATO with a direct missile, which destroyed their house. Bojana was 11 months old, she died in her father's arms. Bojana's father was less than 30 years old at the time."

"What they actually wanted to tell us - is that we don't regret it, we have done our job of breaking Serbia into pieces. I tell them: you haven't accomplished your mission, Serbia is stronger and this nation, you cannot take away our freedom, you can take away our air, freedom we won't give it to you," said Vučić.

"We will never join NATO, we will preserve and protect our military neutrality. You have not punished Serbia, you cannot take away our right to live for our country. Toplica is a part of heroic Serbia, a part with which not even an inch of Serbia can be compared because here are the greatest number of heroes. Here are our greatest heroes. Little Serbia will fight with truth, honor, knowledge, everything it has at its disposal to preserve its territory, its people and its future. We don't have a spare homeland and just like this song said "We love you, our motherland", long live the future of Serbia! And all you friends, real and fake, thank you for everything, they tried to destroy Serbia, but they never succeeded. And this rain is a sign of the rebirth of Serbia. 25 years ago it was a beautiful day, and that's when they started killing. In front of you is a Serbia that will know how to protect itself and defend itself. I hope that we will see each other on much better occasions, and we will not give Serbia to them. Long live Serbia," said Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić.
