Dear colleagues, veterans and participants of the War!

In these difficult days for our country, we celebrate, together with all of Europe, this Day of Remembrance and Reconciliation and the 71st Anniversary of the Victory over Nazism in Europe.

These days have special meaning and represent heroism, fortitude, military service and eternal sorrow for the millions of victims of the Second World War.

Unfortunately, every year there are fewer witnesses of those terrible times. So I want to remember and honour all veterans and participants of the Second World War, and those who passed through difficult years of occupation and the hell of concentration camps, and those who revived their native country from ashes.

I wish all veterans good health, optimism, active longevity and a peaceful sky overhead.
