Serbs have no cohesive factor to unite them – Sarovic

RS Vice-president Mirko Sarovic participated in the 10th Serb Congress of Unity in Cleveland, Ohio. Sarovic stated that the Serb people have no cohesive factor to unite them in religion, ideas and national interests. “Serbs are disturbingly far from the developed and democratic world” added Sarovic. “Citizens of the RS deserve responsible officials. Every man in the world can serve his nation.” Sarovic met with several respected Serbs from the US to discuss the current situation of the Serb people.
