Patriarch: To honour the centuries-long presence of Serbs in Kosmet
29/9/2010
Serbian Patriarch Irinej said he was praying to God for problems in Kosovo-Metohija to be resolved in the fairest possible manner, which is to honour the centuries-long presence of Serbs in the Province. He told daily BLIC that the enthronement of patriarchs of the Serbian Orthodox Church in the Pec Patriarchate in Kosmet was a very significant event for the Serbian Orthodox Church and the Serbian people.
The most important thing is that, with this ceremony, we continue the tradition of enthronement of patriarchs and the role of the Pec Patriarchate for our church, he said. The Pec Patriarchate is and will remain our spiritual and administrative centre. The Patriarch will be enthroned in the Pec Patriarchate on Sunday, October 3 and the liturgy begins at 10 am. The Patriarch emphasized his only wish was that everything should take place peacefully, without any problems or incidents.
