Milica Mulroney receives Knight of St. Sava Order of Diplomatic Pacifism

Belgrade, 21 October 2019

First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ivica Dacic presented today the wife of former Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, Milica-Mila (Pivnicki) Mulroney, with the Knight of St. Sava Order of Diplomatic Pacifism.

Dacic said that the Serbian diaspora is an important resource for the development of Serbia, but also an irreplaceable bridge for cooperation with countries and peoples around the world.

He underlined that Milica certainly deserves this significant recognition and added that the Pivnicki family is an example of how the diaspora should treat their motherland.

Ever since she was Canada's First Lady between 1984 and 1993 until today, she has remained the pride of Serbia because she knew how to preserve Serbian identity, religion and language, while contributing to the development of Serbian-Canadian relations, Dacic said.

The First Deputy Prime Minister highlighted the importance that our fellow citizens abroad have for the development of their motherland, but also vice versa.

We must work even harder and with more commitment to attract our people from the diaspora, to secure their maximum support by appropriately enabling them to engage their capacity, friendships, contacts and resources for the patriotism and love for their homeland, as the Pivnicki family has always done, Dacic said.
