Peter Vladikovic, Serbia’s Honorary Consul in Vancouver, laid a wreath at the Victory Square Cenotaph on November 11, honoring those who sacrificed their lives in the pursuit of freedom.
The wreath-laying ceremony marked Remembrance Day, an annual observance commemorating members of the armed forces who lost their lives in military service.
The Serbian Honorary Consulate in Vancouver shared photographs of the tribute, describing it as an opportunity to honor previous generations and preserve the memory of their sacrifice. The wreath featured a commemorative inscription paying tribute to ancestors.
The Serbian delegation joined the annual commemoration at Victory Square, one of Vancouver’s principal locations for Remembrance Day ceremonies.
The tradition at Victory Square dates back to 1924, marking 102 years since the establishment of the square and its cenotaph.
This year’s observance included a veterans’ parade and the laying of wreaths, bringing together representatives of the community to remember those who gave their lives in service.
Vladikovic’s participation also highlighted the Serbian community’s presence in British Columbia and its commitment to honoring shared historical traditions and the sacrifices made in the name of freedom.
