Serbia marked Armistice Day on Wednesday as a holiday with state institutions 
and schools closed for the day.

The end of the fighting in World War I has been marked as a state holiday in 
Serbia since 2012. Prior to the pandemic, the first class of the day was a 
history lesson about the Great War, a tradition started in 2005.

To mark the anniversary, Serbian Parliament Speaker Ivica Dacic and Labor, 
Employment, Veterans’ and Social Affairs Minister Darija Kisic Tepavcevic will 
lay wreaths on the monument to the soldiers who defended Belgrade in that war. 
President Aleksandar Vucic will present medals to individuals and institutions. 
 

Serbians wear badges with a green and black ribbon around a purple flower 
(Ramonda Nathalie or Nathalie’s Ramonda found in Serbia and North Macedonia and 
named after Queen Natalija Obrenovic) which is considered to be a symbol of the 
Serbian army’s struggle in the Great War.
