President of the National Assembly of the Republic of Srpska Nedeljko Čubrilović awarded today the winners of the competition for primary school students from the Republic of Srpska, organized in order to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Parliament.
Addressing the winners of the contest, at the reception organized today at the National Assembly, the President stressed that the students from all of our elementary schools were included. He recalled that the celebration of this anniversary began on 24 October, by holding Special Session of Parliament, on the day when 25 years ago a decision about the formation of the Assembly of the Serbian People in Bosnia and Herzegovina had been made. According to him, various activities related to the celebration of the anniversary will last until January 9th and the Day of the Republic.
It is of great importance that this anniversary celebration was supported by students and their teachers, because the National Assembly, as the highest constitutional, legislative, and house of representatives, manifests the will of all citizens of the Republic of Srpska.
