H.E. Niklas Lindqvist and Mrs. Tracy Dolan hosted a reception at the residence on Finnish Independence Day
The Embassy of Finland in Belgrade and colleagues, friends and partners celebrated 107 years of Finnish independence with good food, music and socialising.
This day is a national public holiday in Finland. On 6 December, a flag-flying day celebrated Finland’s declaration of independence from Russia after the Bolsheviks took power in late 1917. Official Independence Day festivities usually involve raising the Finnish flag on Tähtitorninmäki (“Observatory Hill”) in Helsinki.
