In addition to the attacks on all of us, they also struck at the sixteen minutes of silence dedicated to the victims, inflicting new wounds.

However, in that sixteen minutes of silence, anger was heard, but noble and creative thoughts emerged, forms of resistance and hope.

As an eternal tribute to the victims, during those sixteen minutes, an ode to life in a just, organized society of equality and freedom was born.

That daily sixteen minutes of silence has become a remedy and healing for ailing society.

In those sixteen minutes, we stood in solidarity with the families of the victims in Ribnikar, in Dubona and Mali Orašje, with the Milivojević family and all other innocent victims whom the authorities have neglected.

From that sixteen minutes of condolence, a new Serbia is emerging: a land of justice for all victims, where everyone will face the evil they have sown.

Sixteen minutes forced even those who did not understand the act to stop, reflect, and, in silence, await that seventeenth minute.

For the power of sixteen minutes of silence has given us the opportunity to speak out, to freely shout about freedom, and the strength to achieve all that we dreamed of while the silence lasted.
