May Hanukkah – the symbol of light, hope and miracle – but also of hope for a better future and new beginnings reminds us all that we hold our destinies in our own hands and that we are able to perform our own miracles every day. We must not forget that only through the power of human spirit and firm determination can we fight for the values we believe in and make a contribution to a better, safer and more successful world", reads the congratulatory message by Minister Dacic.
