Vukovar City authorities on Friday called on all prospective visitors to the city on Remembrance Day, observed on 18 November, to behave responsibly in accordance with epidemiological recommendations.

COVID certificates will not be necessary to participate in the Remembrance Day march, however, it is essential to adhere to all prescribed epidemiological measures. Participants are required to wear masks and keep their distance and it is recommended to additionally disinfect hands, the authorities said.
