“On the behalf of the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia and myself, please allow me to extend our sincerest condolences on the death of Fidel Castro, a statesman whose political figure has left an indelible mark on a whole era.

I received the news on the departure of this man and leader with deep grief, but I am sure that his staunch commitment to a vision of freedom and defence of Cuba’s sovereignty is not only his people’s heritage, but a living inspiration to people around the world.

Please convey our deepest sympathies, at this grave moment, to the family of late Fidel Castro and the people of Cuba.”
