(MENAFN) Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said his country will never forgive North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) for the thousands of civilians killed in 1999, after 20 years of starting the NATO bombing.
Under the slogan "We will forgive if we can, but we will forget only if we perish", leaders of the state, church and military, ambassadors and citizens gathered at a city square in downtown Nis with lit candles to mark the Day of Remembrance for the Victims of the NATO Aggression.
The country has started marking the Remembrance Day five years ago, while Vucic told them that preserving the memory of the victims of the 1999 bombing is vital for the survival of Serbian people in the future.
"Nobody was held responsible for these crimes. Serbian civilians, our children were a permitted target of the NATO aggression...these children and people will never be forgotten," he added.
