Many political and religious officials, including Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, gave their condolences for the death of His Holiness Patriarch Pavle. Medvedev said in his message today, addressed to his Serbian counterpart Boris Tadic, that the feat of the late leader of the Serbian Orthodox Church (SPC) "was an example of great and self-sacrificing service to the Church and homeland, and care for the needs and interests of his people.” Russian president sends condolences “The period that Patriarch Pavle spent on the Pec throne [the Patriarchate of Pec] coincided with the most difficult temptations that his people had faced. They found and continue to find moral support from the Serbian Orthodox Church, taking spiritual strength, which is so necessary for the creative development of the society and the strengthening of statehood,” Medvedev said in his letter of condolences. He also sent a telegram to SPC Metropolitan Amfilohije, "the guardian of the patriarchy throne", stating that the “long and difficult life path of the Serbian Orthodox Church head was tied closely to the fate of his congregation.” Other leaders who sent their condolences included Macedonian President Gjorgje Ivanov, Croatian Assembly Speaker Luka Bebic, Bosnia-Herzegovina Presidency Chairman Zeljko Komsic and Serb official in the Bosnia-Herzegovina Presidency Nebojsa Radmanovic.
