Patriarch Kirill receives honorary doctorate

The Russian patriarch received the honorary doctorate from UB Rector Vladimir Bumbaširević, who said that the title was awarded at the proposal of the scientific and educational council of the Faculty of Orthodox Theology.

Thanking for the distinguished title, Patriarch Kirill, who is on an official visit to Serbia, expressed joy at becoming part of the renowned institution of higher education, which he said has prepared outstanding scientists, state officials and culture professionals for life and work .

The head of the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) pointed to the position of Russia and the Russian church on the situation in Kosovo and Metohija, which he said is the cradle of Serbian Orthodox Christianity and Serbian statehood.

We admire the courage of those Serbs who, despite the threat to their existence, refuse to leave the land of their ancestors, and we support the just position of the Serbian Orthodox Church regarding Kosovo and Metohija, Patriarch Kirill said.

We look forward to the participation of the Russian Federation in UNESCO projects aimed at renovating many holy sites in the much-suffering land, he said.
