Diaspora and Serbs in the Region Committee Chairman Miodrag Linta Meets with New President of Alliance of Serbs of France Djuro Cetkovic

Miodrag Linta, Chairman of the Committee on the Diaspora and Serbs in the Region, met with Djuro Cetkovic, the new President of the Alliance of Serbs of France on 25 October 2018.


Cetkovic informed the Committee Chairman about the activities of the Alliance as the umbrella organization in France and announced the activities planned for next year. The very active 10,000-strong Alliance organizes the days of Serbian Culture (in cooperation with the Serbian Embassy), St. Sava Ball and a celebration of Vidovdan every year.

At exhibition in celebration of victory in World War One, 11 November, in Paris in front of the Dôme des Invalides, to be attended by heads of 25 states, one of the central pieces will be the small steam engine used to transport ammunition on the Salonika Front (in possession of the Serbian Railway Museum since 1951), which will be exhibited to France and the world thanks to the efforts of fellow-citizens.

Cetkovic also spoke about the two French MPs of Serbian origin, Zivka Park and Liliane Tanguy, who champion Serbian interests. Thanks to the lobbying of the Alliance of Serbs of France and its excellent contacts with the members of CHREDO (organization for the protection of Christians in the Middle East) the organization is planning a visit to Kosovo next spring, for the realization of which the support of the Committee on the Diaspora and Serbs in the Region would be invaluable to make sure its delegation is received by National Assembly high dignitaries.

The Alliance of Serbs of France will also mark the 800 years of independence of the Serbian Orthodox Church at Paris City Hall next year and will send an invitation to the Committee.

Committee Chairman Miodrag Linta thanked Cetkovic for the in-depth presentation of the Alliance’s activities stressing that he would urge the Committee to intensify cooperation with it.
