I rarely write analytical pieces, and I am often not ready to comment on public events. But this time, as was the case a few months ago when the Ukrainian ecclesiastical events were taking place, I felt compelled to do so after hearing contradictory and largely immature comments by a number of figures in the public space on the forthcoming visit of Pope Francis to Sofia.

INTERVIEW WITH HIS ALL HOLINESS ECUMENICAL PATRIARCH BARTHOLOMEW BY ZIVOJIN RAKOCEVIC, JOURNALIST OF THE SERBIAN NEWSPAPER ''POLITIKA''

Ecumenical Patriarchate

Your All-Holiness, we thank you for your time and courtesy in providing the readers of “Politika” with answers to some very sensitive matters, which characterize the positions of Orthodoxy in the contemporary world, and specifically—as you know quite well—in answering a few very important questions concerning the Church of Ukraine. We admit that your explanation and arguments regarding this situation have not been satisfactorily presented to the Serbian audience. On the other hand, the opinion and position of the Russian Church is constantly being repeated in the Serbian mass media, and so, the readers are fully familiar with it. With this interview, we will seek to take advantage of the present opportunity in order to clarify your positions and recent actions. Therefore, we would like to begin with some general topics and afterward, move on to more specific questions.

PRIMATE OF ALBANIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH CALLS PATRIARCH BARTHOLOMEW TO HOLD PAN-ORTHODOX DISCUSSION ON UKRAINIAN PROBLEM

                The Russian Orthodox Church. Department for External Church Relations

On March 29, 2019, the official internet portal of the Albanian Orthodox Church published the text of a letter written by His Beatitude Anastasios, Archbishop of Tirana and All Albania, to the Primate of the Church of Constantinople. As it is noted in the introductory part of the publication, in his previous correspondence with the Patriarch of Constantinople, Archbishop Anastasios did not receive an answer to the perplexities set forth in the Letter of January 14, in which the Holy Synod of the Albanian Church was reported to refrain from the recognition of the so-called ‘Orthodox Church of Ukraine’ created by the Patriarchate of Constantinople.

In his published letter, His Beatitude Archbishop Anastasios pointed out that the decisions made by Patriarch Bartholomew on the Ukrainian problem have failed to heal the divisions while creating a threat of dividing Universal Orthodoxy. His Beatitude gave special attention to the problem of the apostolic succession of the Ukrainian schismatic leaders and their followers admitted to communion with the Patriarchate of Constantinople.

Below is the full text of the letter.
