The Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, through Foreign Minister Yván Gil, extended its congratulations to the people and the Government of the Republic of Serbia this Sunday, February 15. The commemoration of Serbian National Day motivates this official greeting that strengthens ties between both nations. The message highlights the importance of self-determination and sovereignty as shared principles.
Through his official channels, the Minister for Foreign Affairs recalled the beginning of the Serbian people’s fight for their freedom. This date marks a fundamental milestone in the identity of the Balkan nation by remembering the feat that began in 1804. The revolutionary process against the rule of the Ottoman Empire laid the foundations for the modern independence that that country celebrates today.
The official letter also highlights the relevance of the Sretenje Constitution, adopted in 1835 as the country’s first Magna Carta. This cutting-edge document symbolized the consolidation of the State and the legal sovereignty of Serbia before the world. Venezuela recognizes in this historical event an example of resistance and institutional organization for people seeking their own destiny.
The Bolivarian Government reaffirmed its admiration for the territorial integrity and the right to development that Serbia currently defends. Both nations maintain a common vision on the defense of independence in the face of external pressures. Foreign Minister Gil stated that the Serbian revolution allowed us to achieve sovereignty that Venezuela respects and supports with enthusiasm.
“Venezuela extends its congratulations to the people and Government of Serbia in this celebration of the independence and sovereignty achieved,” said the diplomat. The message underlines that the spirit of struggle unites Caracas and Belgrade in the international arena. This ideological coincidence facilitates mutual understanding in multilateral forums where respect for self-determination is debated.
The commemoration serves to remember that the freedom of people is born from the sacrifice and political clarity of their historical leaders. Venezuela identifies in Serbian history values similar to those of the South American emancipatory feat. This recognition strengthens the sense of brotherhood between two geographically distant but politically close regions.
With this gesture, the Venezuelan Executive ratifies its willingness to strengthen ties of cooperation with the Balkan nation. Bilateral relations are governed by the principles of mutual respect, solidarity and reciprocal benefit. The Foreign Ministry plans a joint work agenda that will allow for deepening exchanges in various strategic areas during the coming months.
