Wednesday, September 19, 2018
Deputy Mayor Andreja Mladenović, the Director of Economics, Finance and Treasury at LUKOIL SRBIJA Aleksandar Simbirev, and the Director of the Dadov Youth Theatre Vladimir Mijović signed a contract today at Stari dvor for the implementation of the project "Celebrating 100 years since the end of the First World War and the liberation of Belgrade during the Second World War - Days of Freedom."
“During the ‘Days of Freedom’ event taking place from October 19 until November 1, Belgrade will, for the first time, celebrate two very important events at the same time - the liberation of Belgrade during the Second World War on October 20, 1944, and the liberation of the capital during the First World War on November 01, 1918”, Mladenović announced.
He stressed that all our allies - Russia, France, Great Britain and Greece - would be thanked during “Days of Freedom”. "The goal of the event is to familiarize the youngest among us with the significance of both these dates, and to convey to them the sacrifices made by our ancestors who gave their lives so we could live freely in our City. The Dadov, in cooperation with the Children's Cultural Center, has prepared a rich program for this occasion. We will also organize two classes, on October 19 and November 1, during which the children will be taught about the importance and the value of freedom,” Mladenović concluded.
The Deputy Mayor thanked LUKOIL for its three-year cooperation and support of numerous city-wide projects - FEST, the Christmas Village, the Documentary and Short Film Festival and the "Days of Belgrade".
On behalf of LUKOIL SERBIA the Director of Economics, Finance and Treasury Aleksandar Simbirev stressed that the signed contract only further strengthens a well-founded, successful cooperation, which aims to improve the implementation of projects organized for the benefit of the citizens of Belgrade in the fields of culture, sports and social protection. “We are grateful to the City of Belgrade for being able to participate in these projects. I hope that this cooperation will continue in the future,” Simbirev said.
The Director of the Dadov Youth Theater Vladimir Mijović thanked LUKOIL for its support and assistance, on behalf of all the institutions of the City of Belgrade who are the bearers of this event.
