SRBAC - Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic on Thursday thanked Patriarch Porfirije of the Serbian Orthodox Church for his patience and understanding during a meeting at the Osovica monastery in the Republika Srpska municipality of Srbac earlier in the day.

The meeting, which addressed the most significant national issues, was also attended by Republika Srpska President Milorad Dodik.

In a post on his buducnostsrbijeav Instagram profile, Vucic wrote that the "always wise and mild words of Patriarch Porfirije unite, bring together and spiritually strengthen all of us who are fighting everyday challenges and the difficult ordeals our people is again facing."

"That is why we are grateful for every word and the endless patience and understanding he showed for us at this meeting, too, in a discussion about issues that are not easy at all, and our clergy will continue to pray for unity of Serbs wherever they may live. Thank you, Your Holiness," Vucic concluded.
