“The outcome of the so-called internal dialogue on Kosovo and Metohija would be as its current flow – multiplied voices, and the state leadership must seriously take into account the stance of the majority of Serbs, Serbian Orthodox Church Bishop of Backa Irinej said, emphasising he does not believe the Serbian people would let down its identity formed in Kosovo, KIM Radio reported.
“The outcome would be as its current flow – multiplied voices. But it has become already clear what the majority of Serbs is pledging for. Therefore, I think the state leadership must seriously take into account the majority stance of the Serbian people. I personally do not believe that our people can break their essence, identity and its source formed in Kosovo and Metohija and normed as the Kosovo’s oath, spiritual vertical and historic self-awareness,” Bishop Irinej told Novosti daily.
Bishop Irinej recalled the statement of the Serbian Orthodox Church Patriarch Irinej who said “that we expect the help of the Lord, but also brotherly Russia to preserve our holly land Kosovo and Metohija.”
“I would like to remind on anthological statements of the Russian Church and state officials they will not betray Serbs, unless we betray ourselves and they will not allow false Thaci’s state to enter the United Nations, unless we make it possible previously by accepting an ultimatum of the USA and the EU, even in a twisted form “of a legally binding agreement” between the two sides, that will not obstruct each other way to the international organizations,” Bishop Irinej emphasised.
Speaking about the Serbian Orthodox Church heritage in Kosovo, Bishop Irinej said “that what had not been destroyed meanwhile, is safe now,” Serbian media reported.
