Later the DECR chairman had a talk with Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski at the Government’s residence. Participating in the talk were Macedonian Foreign Minister N. Popovski and Russian Ambassador O. Shcherbak.

On the same day, Metropolitan Hilarion met with the head of the Macedonian Orthodox Church, Archbishop Stephan of Ohrid and Macedonia. They discussed the settlement of the canonical status of this church structure which is outside communion with the world Orthodoxy.

Metropolitan Hilarion also visited the Russian embassy and had a talk with Ambassador O. Shcherbak.

Since you are here…

…we do have a small request. More and more people visit Orthodoxy and the World website. However, resources for editorial are scarce. In comparison to some mass media, we do not make paid subscription. It is our deepest belief that preaching Christ for money is wrong.

Having said that, Pravmir provides daily articles from an autonomous news service, weekly wall newspaper for churches, lectorium, photos, videos, hosting and servers. Editors and translators work together towards one goal: to make our four websites possible - Pravmir.ru, Neinvalid.ru, Matrony.ru and Pravmir.com. Therefore our request for help is understandable.

For example, 5 euros a month is it a lot or little? A cup of coffee? It is not that much for a family budget, but it is a significant amount for Pravmir.

If everyone reading Pravmir could donate 5 euros a month, they would contribute greatly to our ability to spread the word of Christ, Orthodoxy, life's purpose, family and society.
