Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić  asked Russia to support the Serbian Orthodox Church, Interfax reports.

“Her (SOC – Ed.) survival is in jeopardy,” said Mr. Vučić on Thursday, June 18, at a press conference following talks with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. “I requested and said that Serbia would also continue its support and that Putin’s arrival at the opening of the grand St. Sava church would mean an additional impetus not only for our cultural and religious ties but would further strengthen the position of our people and our country, including the Serbian Orthodox Church.”

The Serbian leader noted that during his visit to Moscow, which is planned in the coming days, he expects to exchange assessments on various international issues with the President of the Russian Federation, including “how Serbia can sustain and maintain its interests.”

As reported by the UOJ, earlier the Primate of the Serbian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Irinej, asked Alexandar Vučić to protect the Serbs living in Montenegro.
