The Round Table organised an event to commemorate the 20th<\/sup> Anniversary of  the NATO\u2019s war against Yugoslavia. The event was held on the 10th<\/sup> June 2019, to mark the last day of the war and began with a memorial service at the St Sava Church in London. The commemoration opened with a short film provided by the Serbian Embassy, on the bombing campaign, its victims and the heroes of the Serbian armed forces who defended the nation from the world\u2019s most powerful war machines. This was followed by presentations by a panel of experts chaired by Aleks Simi\u0107. The panel included: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phil Hammond, Professor of Media and Communications
Misha Gavrilovic, Co-Chairman of the British-Serbian Alliance for Peace

Among the audience of Serbs from London and further afield were VIPs including HRH Princess Katarina, Her Excellency the Ambassador Aleksandra Joksimovi\u0107 and husband, Counsellor Marijana Ognjanovi\u0107, Colonel Danko \u0160trbac \u2013 Assistant Defence Attach\u00e9, Mr. Veljko Jelenkovi\u0107 \u2013 Third Secretary at the Embassy and his wife plus John Livingston QC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
