The Roman Catholic archbishop of Belgrade said the possible visit of Pope Benedict XVI to Serbia would be very significant. Stanislav Hocevar was quoted as saying that Serbia would "thus present itself as a state that is aware of its historic role and would become the driving force of dialogue in the region". "Pope visit of great importance for Serbia" "A visit by the Pope would mean that Serbia, knowing that it lives between the East and the West, is seriously assuming its historic role. Secondly, it would mean that it would become the driving force for dialogue, because only through dialogue is something new born, something positive, in a dialogue in which Serbia could promote something new for mankind," Hocevar said in an interview for Beta news agency. He went on to say that the Catholic Church in Serbia is "too little known and that little is usually said about it in the media". "Otherwise, I can say that a positive process is taking place in Serbia - of the harmonizing of relations between the society and the believers, or between the state and the church, but this process has to be supported further," Hocevar said.

Snažno nevreme stiže u Srbiju

U većem delu Srbije će danas pre podne biti pretežno sunčano, toplo, suvo i vetrovito, uz olujnu košavu u Beogradu, na jugu Banata, u Pomoravlju i donjem Podunavlju, a već u poslepodnevnim satima biće kratkotrajne kiše ili pljuskova.
