Budva officials commemorate liberation from World War I

Officials in Budva held ceremonies to mark the anniversary of the city's liberation by the Serbian army on November 8, 1918.

Nikola Jovanović, the President of the Municipality of Budva, laid a wreath at a memorial plaque located above the main gates of the Old Town. Jovanović noted the historical significance of November, linking the anniversary of the World War I liberation to the city's liberation from fascism in World War II. He emphasized the importance of honoring those who fought for freedom and maintaining a culture of remembrance.

Mladen Mikijelj, director of the Public Enterprise for Coastal Zone Management and leader of the “Za budućnost Budve 1718” coalition, also led a delegation to lay a wreath. Mikijelj honored more than 1,500 residents of Budva and Boka who participated in the First World War and returned with the army to liberate the region.
