Kosovo raises the bar for the Serbian Patriarch, Porfirije will be unaccompanied
The Patriarch of the Serbian Orthodox Church, Porfirije

The Patriarch of the Serbian Orthodox Church, Porfirije, has been allowed to visit Kosovo, as part of the preparations for the Orthodox Christmas, which is celebrated on January 7. The office of the Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, said that the head of the Kosovo Government responded positively to the request for permission to visit Porfirija. This request was sent to Kurti by the Minister for Return and Communities, Nenad Rashič.

"Patriarch Porfirije has warned that this afternoon he will come to the border crossing between Kosovo and Serbia and that he wants to enter without his bodyguards, even though he has not requested a visit, according to the provisions of the existing agreement," the announcement said.

According to the Government, Porfirija's warning that he will enter Kosovo without a bodyguard is "another proof that Kosovo is a safer country than Serbia".

Patriarch Porfirije had planned to visit Kosovo at the end of December. However, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Diaspora of Kosovo had set some conditions before he was allowed to visit Kosovo. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs at that time said that Porfirija was asked to condemn or distance himself from "the actions of members of the Church who are providing support to criminal groups in the north of Kosovo" who were "responsible for the barricades" erected in that part.

Afterwards, Serbian officials stated that the head of the Serbian Orthodox Church was denied entry into Kosovo through the Merdara border crossing. Porfirije had planned to stay in Kosovo from December 26 to 28, 2022, at a time when tensions between Kosovo and Serbia were high, after groups of local Serbs had erected barricades in the northern part of the country, inhabited by a majority of Serbs. On December 28, the Serbs decided to remove the barricades, arguing that their demands for such a thing had been met./REL
