Greeting to a Godfather for the occasion on March 1st
Pozdrav kumu s 01 marts (vesna)
'kum' does not necessarily have to be 'godfather'like in US. Although that is actual translation 'kum' also can be someone who participated in certain family events such as 'wedding', a person who signed the marriage certificate as the witness, 'kum' also can be someone who cuts the child's hair the very first time, the person who was chosen to baptize a child etc. In all means 'kum' is known to the family and obviously liked and respected enough to be included in such precious events.
I hope it helps.

Tanja Abramovic (X)
: Vesna is a personal name meaning "spring"; in Serbian, however, no one would ever say "vesna" for "spring"; spring is "prolece"; also, spring does not officially begin on March 1; "vesna" is just one of the several typos in the above sentence .

Greeting to godfather (Vesna)
I could not determine what "s 01 marts" really means, and therefore left it out of translated text.
My analysis of source also resulted with the following:
1. Give a godfather (best) regards (as of 21/03) on the beginning of spring
2. Give a godfather (best) regards. Vesna.
