Serbian historical military commemorations

Overview

Serbia has held state ceremonies to commemorate significant historical military victories.

In mid-August 2026, Milica Đurđević Stamenkovski, the Minister for Labor, Employment, Veteran and Social Affairs, led a wreath-laying ceremony near Šabac to mark the 220th anniversary of the Battle of Mišar. Acting as an envoy for the President, the minister described the battle as a major victory in the cycle of Serbian uprisings, achieved through bravery and strategic organization.

Shortly after, a ceremony was held in Tekeriš to mark the 112th anniversary of the Battle of Cer, a key conflict of World War I. Minister Đurđević Stamenkovski, joined by government and military officials, honored the soldiers who died during the battle. In her address, she noted the historical context of the Austro-Hungarian ultimatum of 1914 and highlighted the Battle of Cer as a major victory for the Serbian army and the first significant Allied victory of the war.
