- We believe in life, which we demonstrate by paying tribute to those who lost their lives. We can only justify and promise life, and we are promising this before the victims we bow before - Vucic said.

- Serbia needs children and schools and every form of communication. We will not forget, and we will not let anyone conquer us. Serbia will remain to be a country of defiant and undefeated people - he said.

Seventeen years ago on March 24, NATO war planes started bombing the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, with air strikes killing between 759 and 4,000 people over the 77 days that followed.

On May 30, 1999, NATO mounted a daylight raid on a bridge in the central Serbian town of Varvarin, which left 10 civilians dead and 17 severely injured.
