Belgrade, 13 August 2009 – On behalf of HRH Crown
Prince Alexander II, Mr. Cedomir Antic, member of the Crown Cabinet
laid a wreath at the Monument of Karadjordje and Misar heroes near
Sabac.
In his speech in front of several hundred people
in Misar, Mr. Antic emphasized: “It is good that Serbia is renewing
and that we are building a new Serbia, but we have to build on
foundations laid out by the great heroes of our history, among whom
Karadjordje and his heroic brothers in arms stand out with glory and
pride”.
Besides the organizers of this anniversary, local
community of Misar and Association “First Serbian uprising”, and
several hundred citizens who came from all over Serbia, there were

soldiers at the Misar hill near Sabac, and prevented them from
reaching Belgrade. It was a great moral and military victory for
Serbia.
