In early November 2026, officials in Budva, Montenegro, and Novi Sad, Serbia, held ceremonies to commemorate the anniversaries of their respective cities' liberations during World War I.

In Budva, Municipal President Nikola Jovanović laid a wreath at a memorial plaque in the Old Town to honor the Serbian army's liberation of the city on November 8, 1918. Mladen Mikijelj, leader of the “Za budućnost Budve 1718” coalition, also led a delegation to honor the more than 1,500 residents of Budva and Boka who participated in the war.

In Novi Sad, Mayor Žarko Mićin and City Assembly President Dina Vučinić laid wreaths at the Memorial Cross for fallen fighters at the Dormition Church courtyard. The ceremony marked the 108th anniversary of the city's liberation on November 9, 1918, when Serbian military units under Vojvoda Petar Bojović ended Austro-Hungarian rule.
