Unbreakable ties between Serbia and Russia - patriarch

"The Serbs have always had special ties to Russia, and in hard times we expected hope and help from Russia. We wish to continue to have such strong spiritual, but also other bonds - that is why nobody can separate us from Russia, regardless of all the pressure being exerted now," he told the believers who gathered in the Church of Apostles Peter and Paul, the daily Vecernje Novosti is reporting.

The patriarch also spoke about Kosovo and Metohija, describing it as our "great wound" and a territory where more than 1,300 Serbian churches and graves of persons of great importance to the nation are located. "Kosovo and Metohija is a holy land for us Serbs. We expect help from the Lord, but also from our brotherly Russia, to preserve that holy land of ours," Irinej said, and added:

"We are gladdened that Russia is back on its feet and that Orthodoxy is on the rise in the brotherly country. Russia is a great hope nor only of the Orthodox world, but of the entire Christian world. Wherever the Russians go they show the great virtue of love."

The liturgy was attended by a large number of Serbians who live and work in Moscow, but also by many Russian believers. Beside the Church dignitaries, Serbian Ambassador Slavenko Terzix was also in attendance.

The Serbian Orthodox Church (SPC) delegation led by the patriarch is in the Russian capital at the invitation of Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia, and will take part in the celebrations marking the centenary of the All-Russian Local Council of 1917-1918 and the restoration of Patriarchate in the Russian Orthodox Church.

Bure baruta pred eksplozijom: Počinje veliki rat?

Bliski istok, zbog promene ravnoteže snaga i dubokih kriza, pre svega palestinsko-izraelske, može se smatrati buretom baruta i ima potencijal da dovede ne samo do regionalnog sukoba, već i do globalnog konflikta.
