Annunciation – Patron Feast Day of the Post of Serbia
The Post of Serbia celebrated the Annunciation feast, for the first time in the largest and most important processing centre, the Regional Postal and Logistics Centre "Belgrade" in Zemun.
"My wish was to mark this solemn and important date here, instead at the headquarters at Takovska 2, for several reasons. Patron Feast Day, i.e. Slava, which Serbian people celebrate and others do not, is a feast during which family and friends gather, and we are all one family here, relatives and friends. It is important that we spread this spirit of Slava everywhere we are, to 1,570 post offices, to 4,700 settlements where we are located," said the host of the celebration, Acting Director of the Post of Serbia Zoran Anđelković, at the beginning of the toast.
Director Zoran Anđelković congratulated Patron Feast Day to the employees: "Not only did we gather here, we also sent a message to all citizens that we want to preserve ourselves, our history, habits and customs, one of the most important of which is the celebration of the Patron Saint’s or Feast Day, i.e. Slava. The Annunciation is not only a Christian holiday, it is also a holiday of love, togetherness, exchange of opinions and experiences. That is why it is important to preserve this holiday and celebrate it as a feast for all employees of the Post of Serbia."
Anđelković also said that as a result of sincere faith in what we do, good news is coming - on the day of celebration, robots for processing postal items started working at the Postal and Logistics Centre in Zemun, which practically means establishing their work in Novi Sad, Niš and Kragujevac as well.
He said that just as he believed in robotic support, he also strongly believes in parcel lockers and their development and expansion of their network, but also in collective mailboxes, on which, he said, we should be working even faster and with more dedication.
"We have received a new Law on Postal Services, electronic delivery is here, there is still a lot of work to be done on that project, we need to develop a software and purchase equipment, but that is the future of the Post, this way we will be closer to citizens and citizens to us," said Anđelković.
The Feast of the Annunciation is one of the 12 greatest Christian holidays, it is one of the most cheerful events and one of the most joyous Christian holidays and is always celebrated on April 7, exactly nine months before Christmas.
The celebration was attended by employees, the Enterprise’s management, directors of working units from all around Serbia, union representatives and numerous high-ranking officials from ministries, partner institutions and organizations.
The guests then had the opportunity to see and observe the process of robotic processing of postal items in the technological space of the postal centre.
