The organizers express their gratitude to all who helped holding of this manifestation, proving by that their humanity, honor and invincible freedom-loving and St. Sava Christian spirit.
The organizers also thank those government circles and servants of the NATO secret services who did everything to prevent or spoil holding of this rally, and after failing to achieve that, they influenced the “Obraz” group and some other unstable young people to produce skirmishes. When the participants and the security of the rally put these young people away of the Republic Square, their clashes with the police in the streets far away from the rally were misused by the mentioned circles and servants in order to spin the media in the way to give great publicity to these clashes and to the content and character of the rally – almost no publicity! To their shame and to our honor!
This was neither rally of rightists nor of leftists, but of patriots and freedom fighters. This was a rally of the proud people of the united, free Serbia.
