Communique of the Holy Synod of Bishops of the Serbian Orthodox Church

5/12/2011 The Holy Synod of Bishops of the Serbian Orthodox Church with this appeal addresses all participants of the drama in the northern region of Kosovo and Metohija, with the warm prayer to God, the only Source of true peace, unity and love among peoples and nations, that they not allow this drama to be turned into a tragedy. To the members of KFOR we assert that the Church expects and asks of them that they act in a spirit of neutrality, exclusively in the service of maintaining peace, that is, that they not act as the “striking fist” of NATO or those powerful Western countries who recognized the phantom “state of Kosovo” and advocate for its “territorial integrity”, while the territorial integrity of Serbia, the international legal order and UN Resolution 1244,they see as last year’s snow, but that they act on behalf of the international community.
