First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Serbia Ivica Dacic sent his best wishes to the President of the Federation of Jewish Communities in Serbia Mr. Robert Sabados, to the Rabbi of the Jewish community in Serbia, Mr. Isaac Asiel, and to all citizens of Serbia celebrating the major feast of Pesach.

"On behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and on my own behalf, I extend most cordial congratulations to all citizens of Serbia celebrating the major Jewish feast of Pesach, with a wish that this holy day brings good health, peace and well-being to them and to their families and friends.

The rich culture and tradition of the Jewish community in Serbia is woven into the history and culture of Serbia. For centuries now, we have been living together in Serbia as friends, tied by the inextricable bonds, forged in our joint sufferings and struggles. I trust that this holy day of hope, salvation and faith in a better life will encourage us all to be more understanding and to cherish mutual respect and tolerance, and that we will continue to build a better future and a better life for the benefit of Serbia and all its citizens."
