Armistice Day

Armistice Day in Serbia, observed on November 11th, commemorates the end of World War I and honors the sacrifices of Serbian soldiers and civilians during the conflict. Known locally as *Dan primirja*, it marks the signing of the Armistice of 1918, which brought an end to the hostilities on the Western Front. Serbia, having endured immense suffering and loss during the war, holds this day as a solemn reminder of its resilience and the heavy toll of the conflict. The day is marked by official ceremonies, wreath-laying at war memorials, and moments of silence to pay tribute to the fallen. The Serbian flag is often displayed, and the holiday serves as a time for reflection on peace, freedom, and the importance of remembering history. Armistice Day is also a public holiday in Serbia, allowing citizens to participate in commemorative events and honor the legacy of those who fought for their country.
