His Holiness Serbian Patriarch Irinej received His Eminence Pietro Cardinal Parolin, State Secretary of the Holy See, in the Serbian Patriarchate in Belgrade, on June 30, 2018.

His Eminence thanked His Holiness for the cordial reception, during which a discussion was held on numerous topics concerning the  life of the two Churches. Patriarch Irinej expressed his gratitude to Cardinal Parolin for the  visit and a message of Pope Francis of Rome as well as for the official position of the Vatican which prefers  dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina to an unilateral recognition of an independence of the southern Serbian province of Kosovo and Metohija.

The reception was attended by His Excellency Luciano Suriani, Apostolic Nuncio in Belgrade; His Eminence Porphirije, Metropolitan of Zagreb-Ljubljana; His Grace Bishop Irinej of Bachka; mons. Giovanni Gaspari, official of the State Secretariat of the Vatican; mons. Filipo Kolnago, First Secretary of the Nunciature; Revd. Aleksandar Ninkovic, associate of the Nunciature, and deacon Dr. Aleksandar Prascevic, head of the Serbian Patriarch’s Office.

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.
