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.

The Patriarch of the Serbian Orthodox Church, Irinej (90), died today at the VMC Karaburma, where he was hospitalized due to a coronavirus infection, after his health condition worsened.
