The metropolitan of Zagreb and Ljubljana, Porfirije, evaluated tonight that Kosovo and Metohija is a question of identity of the Serbs and that, in case we lose it as the foundation of existence, he is not sure that “our people have future”.

“Kosovo is much more than a bribe. The myth is a question of imagination, and Kosovo is an alliance for our patriarch and our Church, it is a question of identity … The vital (interest) of the Church is the preservation of Kosovo and the construction of the Temple of San Sava “, affirmed the Metropolitan.
He also affirmed that he believes that the official church has no other space for action than the people and the state in which he lives, and that he sees cooperation with official institutions as a natural relationship.
“All the previous patriarchs were very open to dialogue and cooperation with the state,” Porphyry said.
On the occasion of the death of the patriarch of the Serbian Orthodox Church, Irinej, Metropolitan Porfirio said that the Serbian Orthodox Church suffered a great blow, and that with his death and the death of Metropolitan Amfilohije, the Church lost “the two strongest pillars” .
The Minister of Family Care and Demography, Radomir Dmitrović, assessed that the criticisms of the possible violation of epidemiological measures during the commemoration of Patriarch Irinej’s death were “absolutely expected” and that they came from “non-national and liberal meetings, mostly infidels and agnostics. “
“(Those circles) who take every opportunity to attack the Serbian Orthodox Church … It is a story about them, about those who say that,” Dmitrović said.
Marija Zdravković, director of KBC “Bežanijska kosa”, said that the allegations that people at the Saturday liturgy “licked ducks” during communion were “very humiliating for people who believe,” but that “it is clear that there is a high probability of epidemic spread (in such cases) ”.
“You cannot say that 100 percent of everyone will contract (corona virus) in such cases,” Zdravkovic said.
