“In the fight against fascism, the Montenegrin people made enormous sacrifices for freedom. The post-war census determined a total of 18.573 dead fighters, victims of fascist terror and civilian victims from Montenegro. Today, we remember with pride and reverence the fighters of the Podgorica region, who were led by 52 People’s heroes from this city were an example of courage and heroism on the battlefield. 1.500 fighters gave their lives on the altar of freedom. About 5.000 fighters participated in the NOP. They were brave and determined and our people and our country, and because of that we still remember with pride the role of Montenegro in the anti-fascist coalition and our contribution to the great victory of humanity over Nazism,” said Radojević.
“Inspired by the determination to defend their enslaved homeland to the last, inspired by a deep faith in the victory of their just cause, the fighters of our army have dealt merciless and fierce blows to the common enemy since 1941. Their immortal deeds will live forever in the hearts of our people and their future generations , while the scenes of the famous battles on Sutjeska, Zelengora, and Neretva are eternal monuments to the heroism of your and our fallen comrades.” To those victims and their courage we owe the freedom we have today and that is why, even today, we are united around the idea of anti-fascism, the idea that today is the heritage of advanced humanity former homelands that fought, lived, died and fought for the freedom of our country,” said the president of SOBNOR of Montenegro.
