Vidovdan, that sacred cornerstone of Serbian national identity, is back in the spotlight—but not in the way anyone would want. Petar Petković, director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija, sent a clear message to Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija: despite Priština banning his visits for two and a half years and imposing absurd restrictions, Serbia remains an unshakable support for its people.
“Vidovdan is not just a date on the calendar; it is the essence of our national identity and moral backbone,” said Petković. But here’s the real kicker: Priština has banned the display of Serbian symbols during the holiday! Yes, you read that right—in the 21st century, in Europe, someone thinks it’s normal to impose restrictions on national symbols.
This holiday, which has been a symbol of resistance and unity for centuries, is now marked under pressure and blockades. The Kurti regime sets traps and provocations every year, but Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija remain dignified and peaceful. Petković stated that Serbs will celebrate Vidovdan above all these provocations because the values this day carries are more important than daily politics and attempts to undermine the foundations of the state.
If you think this is just another holiday greeting, think again. This is a fight for the survival of identity, for the right to be who you are despite all obstacles. Vidovdan is not just the past—it is the present and future of the Serbian people in Kosovo and Metohija.
What do you think? Is it normal for someone in Europe to ban national symbols? Drop your thoughts in the comments or at least crack a joke about these absurdities—sometimes laughter is the best weapon against madness.
