Serbian-Russian Relations from St. Sava to 1944 exhibition launched in the Pančevo City Library. The exhibition highlights seven centuries of brotherly relations between the peoples of the two countries, as reported by the Russian House in Belgrade telegram channel.

The exhibition is timed to the 79th anniversary of the liberation of the Serbian town of Pančevo from the Nazis in 1944 by the 49th division of the Red Army under the command of Vasily Margelov, the future commander of the Airborne Forces of the USSR.

The exhibition opening ceremony was attended by Russian diplomats, representatives of the Russian House in Belgrade, law enforcement veterans and public figures. The exhibition was also attended by a large number of Pančevo residents.

Milan Mirkovic, the exhibition's curator, highlighted in his address that Russia had been offering fraternal assistance to the Serbian people for seven centuries. His words resonated with the audience, prompting enthusiastic applause. The exposition was organized by the Russian House in Belgrade, the Society of Veterans of Special Police Units, the Pančevo People's Library and the Russian-Serbian Friendship Society “Slavic Union.”
