Congratulation to the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin

"I heartily congratulate you and all the Orthodox Christians in Russia the holy day of the birth of Christ, with the sincere wish that you spend it in good health, peace and joy.

 

May Christmas remind us of the lasting values of love, charity, forgiveness and caring for our fellowmen, as these are the foundations of Christianity, and may it summon us to respect, understanding, tolerance and harmony, both within families and among nations.

 

In Serbia, we gladly recall your last year's visit, with the hope that you will do us the same honour this year. With gratitude for the active support to our state and national interests, I wish you and the fraternal Russian people wellbeing and prosperity," reads the Christmas congratulation of President Vučić.

 

President Aleksandar Vučić also conveyed his Christmas greetings to the Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev and to the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Kirill.
