As announced by the Serbian Orthodox Church, on the occasion of the repose of the blessed Serbian Patriarch Irinej, the Holy Synod of Bishops of the Serbian Orthodox Church held a session on November 20, 2020 at the Serbian Patriarchate in Belgrade and took the decisions provided by the Constitution of the Serbian Orthodox Church in such situations.
Today, the Government of Serbia has taken the decision to declare three days of mourning in Serbia on the occasion of the death of Patriarch Irinej.
The decision was made that the Holy Synod of Bishops will assume patriarchal duties in accordance with Article 62 of the Constitution of the Serbian Orthodox Church, and that the Holy Synod will be presided over by Metropolitan Chrysostom of Dabro-Bosnia until the election of a new Serbian Patriarch.
The Holy Synod of Bishops elected His Eminence Bishop Jovan of Šumadija as administrator of the vacant archbishopric of Belgrade and Karlovac in accordance with article 70 of the Constitution of the Serbian Orthodox Church.
The Constitution of the Serbian Orthodox Church stipulates that a Serbian patriarch can be anyone who has been a “diocesan bishop for at least five years”, and the procedure requires that three candidates be chosen by secret ballot by Parliament, whose equal members are all metropolitans and bishops of Serbia and the world.
On the occasion of the death of Patriarch Irinej, statements of condolences arrive from officials and public figures of Serbia and the region.
