Serbian Orthodox Church Patriarch Irinej, commenting the invitation of the Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic on internal dialogue on Kosovo, stated that Kosovo must not be alienated nor bestowed.

“We appeal to our statesmen they must never give consent to the alienation of Kosovo, because what was taken by force, can be returned, but what is bestowed to someone, it is lost forever, and Serbs and Serbia must not allow that to happen,” stated Patriarch Irinej to RTS.
