Serbian Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister Ivica Dacic opened an exhibition of Serbian flags and banners from the period of the First World War at the National Museum in the southern Serbian city of Nis on Tuesday, as part of the celebration of Serbia's Statehood Day. Dacic congratulated all Serbian citizens on their country's Statehood Day. “Representative exhibits that opened on this occasion in Nis, Novi Sad, Belgrade, Kragujevac and Valjevo are not just exhibitions - they also represent an exceptionally rare occasion for all of us to see the insignia that symbolize our country,” Dacic pointed out. In historic Oplenac in central Serbia, the Serbian Orthodox Church services will be dedicated to the fallen participants in the 1804 uprising, which started on February 15 (the feast of Sretenje - the Presentation of Jesus at the Temple). This has been taken as the start of formation of the Serbian armed forces, and is celebrated as Army Day. The day also marked the adoption of the first Constitution in 1835 of the modern Serb state - which was emerging after the nation's medieval kingdom and empire were destroyed in the Ottoman Turk invasion and occupation.
