Renowned Serbian footballer Nemanja Vidić, celebrated for his achievements on the field, delivered an emotional message to Serbs in Kosovo, highlighting their resilience and determination during challenging times. Speaking to KoSSev after receiving the “Knight of the Calling” award, Vidić expressed gratitude for the honor, emphasizing its significance beyond his sports career.
“This award is one of the most important in my life, not just because of my sports career, but because of what I do outside of it,” Vidić said. The award ceremony took place on December 8 at the National Theatre in Belgrade, and Vidić sees it as a responsibility to continue promoting positive societal values.
“All the values that this society and free-minded people wish to promote must be upheld to build a better future,” he added.
A Message to Kosovo Serbs
Using the opportunity, Vidić sent a heartfelt message to Kosovo Serbs, urging them to persevere in their fight for better living conditions.
“I send my warm regards to my fellow citizens in Kosovo. I wish them a happy New Year, good health, and the strength to fight for a better life and status. Just as people across the world strive in different areas of society, so do we here in Serbia,” he said.
He further emphasized that this struggle is not just about perseverance but also about belief.
“People should remain true to who they are. I know my fellow citizens in Kosovo are survivors, and that’s why we’ve endured and remained strong through these difficult times,” Vidić concluded.
