Printer Friendly Version Anniversary of Armistice Day, 11.11.2016. @ 16 November 2016 02:44 PM

On the occasion of the 11th November, the Day of the signing of the Armistice in World War I, it was organized the laying of wreaths on the memorial of the Serbian military cemetery in Zeitinlik.

On behalf of the Republic of Serbia, the wreath was laid by Mr. Sinisa Pavic, the Consul General of the Republic of Serbia in Thessaloniki, followed by the representatives of the Greek Government and Army, the diplomatic corps and the Association for preserving the tradition of the First World War.

After the laying of wreaths and minutes of silence, the ceremony was concluded with Serbian and Greek Anthems.

In accordance with long standing practice, the guardian of Serbian military cemetery in Zeitinlik, g. Djordje Mihailovic., assisted Consul General in a wreath-laying ceremony (which was, in our opinion, particularly interesting to audience).

After the ceremony on the Serbian military cemetery in Zeitinlik, the same ceremonies were held in Russian, French, British and Italian military cemetery (in the complex of Zeitinlik), where the Consul General of RS in Thessaloniki, also laid a wreath.

The closing ceremony of the 11th November was held at the headquarters of III Corps of the Greek Army.
