Vucic: Church root of our friendship with Russia

BELGRADE - The Church of St Sava is another symbol of Serbian-Russian brotherhood and it should be a firm root of our friendship with Russia that will weather all storms, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said after a mosaic was ceremonially unveiled in the dome of the Belgrade church.

"This dome above us is probably the best place to remind ourselves of the sanctity of some ties, in particular those between the churches and the nations of Russia and Serbia, nations that originated from the same tribe, that were brothers in times of trouble, that fought together against hatred and won freedom for everyone of us," he noted.
