The Independence Day of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan was celebrated in Belgrade. A number of guests from the cultural and political life of Serbia gathered at the Metropol hotel reception.
The ceremony was held in memory on March 23, 1940, when Muslims from the south of Asia got together in Lahore, and brought a resolution on the founding of an independent country in which they will be able to regulate their lives in accordance with their own beliefs and aspirations. Seven years later, on August 14, 1947, led by Azem Mohamed Ali Jinnah, they formed the first Islamic republic in the world.
