Serbian Patriarch Irinej bestows Church’s highest decoration to President Vucic

The Patriarch of the Serbian Orthodox Church, His Beatitude Irinej, bestowed this week the Order of St. Sava to the country’s president, Alexander Vučić, on the occasion of the 800-year anniversary of the establishment of the Autocephalous Serbian Orthodox Church.

The decoration of the Order of St. Sava is the highest distinction bestowed by the Serbian Orthodox Church.

“He has done great deeds, not only for our time, but for the whole of Serbia and its future,” Patriarch Irinej said.

Vucic said in his acceptance speech that the award of the order obliged him to “fight harder for Serbia and its unity”.

The order was named after the founder of the Serbian Orthodox Church.
