The audience will hear an address from co-chairmen of the organizing committee for the project dubbed "Edict of Milan 313 - 2013, Serbia" - Serbian President Tomislav Nikolić and Patriarch Irinej, who will officially open the year of celebration.
Russian Ambassador in Belgrade Alexander Chepurin will act as host for the evening, and the guests will include Serbian Prime Minister Ivica Dačić, cabinet ministers and the diplomatic corps.
The project's manager Slavica Trifunović has said the ceremony will include several parts and begin with a reading of the Edict. Then the Moscow Sretensky Monastery Choir, one of the world's best choirs, will perform an hour-long concert of sacred and secular music.
Roman Emperor Constantine the Great (272-337), born in Naissus (Niš), signed a legal document in 313 proclaiming religious equality and putting a stop to the persecution of Christians.
Serbia will mark 17 centuries of the Edict over the course of the entire year with theater performances, exhibits and concerts.
I have at no time heard or read that Constantine was a Serb. Yes he was born in what is today Nis in Serbia but that is it.
Constantine was a ruthless manipulator that held power with the sword and it was only in his last days that he was christened. However, he is seen as the organizer of the first Church and its canonical rules as well as the New Testament we have today.
This is being celebrate in Nis because its in Serbia and not Albania and for the hundredth time let it sink in your Albanian heads that he was not a Serb but a Roman general. He saw himself as a Roman so who are you to proclaim him an “Illyrian”?.

Serbs aren't stealing the history, they are acknowledging it. And Serbs most likely do have Illyrian blood. They combined with the people there and both Serbs and Croats were calling themselves Illyrians LONG before the Germans and Austrians in the 19th century started claiming Albanians were Illyrians.
The Germans and Austrians were worried about the Croat and Serbs Illyrian and pan-Slavic movements so they decided to suppress those while they started the artificial Albanians were Illyrians movement.
