Excerpt from The Lay of Kossovo: Serbia's Past and Present, (1389-1917) For the first time for centuries last year the Serbs were not able to celebrate their great national festival in freedom in their own country. Their British friends most graciously made it possible for them to observe Kossovo Day in Great Britain - a tribute, of course, to the heroism of the Serbs, but also a proof of the great interest of the British public in the Serbian people and of an increasing appreciation of their cause.
