Today’s Ilinden reminds us of the responsibility we carry – to preserve and advance the Republic, to uphold the values of unity, solidarity, and understanding, and to work toward a future in which every citizen feels dignified and equal.

Happy August 2nd, Ilinden – Republic Day! May its message of unity, dignity, and a vision for a better tomorrow be our guiding light, stated Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Inter-Community Relations, Stoilkovic.
