Serbian National Anthem | by Kosovo Day Committee
Serbian National Anthem sheet music and words
Great Britain commemorated Kossovo/Kosovo Day on 28 June 1916 . This is the day, in 1389, when the Serbian army faced off against the Ottoman army during the Battle of Kosovo. It is a Serbian religious holiday that commemorates Saint Lazar other martyrs who fell in the fighting. By conicidence, it is the day that Archduke Franz Ferdinand visited Sarajevo in 1914 and also the same date of the signing of the Treaty of Versailles in 1919. Because Serbia was under occupation and so many of her people were in exile, meaning that they could not commemorate the day in Serbia, a committee was set up in Britain to honour Kosovo Day on 28 June 1916, and to act as a public reminder of the situation in Serbia. This is the sheet music and words to the Serbian National Anthem sold by the Kosovo Day Committee for one penny for Kosovo Day in 1916.
