Novi Sad officials commemorate 108th anniversary of city liberation

Novi Sad Mayor Žarko Mićin and City Assembly President Dina Vučinić laid wreaths at the Memorial Cross for fallen fighters from 1912 to 1918 at the Dormition Church courtyard. The ceremony marked the 108th anniversary of the liberation of Novi Sad during World War I.

Mayor Mićin described November 9 as one of the most significant dates in the city's history, symbolizing the return of freedom and a turning point that led to the annexation of Vojvodina to the Kingdom of Serbia. The event was attended by representatives of the Serbian Army, the South Bačka District, descendants of war participants, and various veterans' associations.

The liberation occurred on November 9, 1918, when Serbian military units under the command of Vojvoda Petar Bojović entered the city, ending Austro-Hungarian rule.
