His Royal Highness Crown Prince Alexander hosted a dinner at the White Palace today in honor of Arch hierarchs of the Serbian Orthodox Church who are participating in the regular Church Assembly.

Dinner was attended by His Holiness Patriarch Irinej of Serbia with Metropolitans and Bishops of the Church, Prof. Dr Mileta Radojevic, director of the Office for cooperation with churches and religious organizations and members of the advisory bodies to the Crown.

“It is an honour to welcome Arch hierarchs of our Church to the home of my ancestors. I am always happy to be with you and to hear words of faith and wisdom! We pray to God to bless this meeting. We are aware of great problems and challenges that lay ahead of us. We must understand and accept our responsibilities, as individuals and as a nation. To work together to respond with good to evil and with love to hate. Please let us pray Arch hierarchs of our Church that God gives you strength and courage, and to give us all strength, faith and love not to embarrass ourselves before God, before ourselves and centuries. As you know, my cousin Prince Alexander, the eldest son of Prince Paul and Princess Olga passed away last week. We will bury him in Oplenac tomorrow. Eternal glory to him!”

Thanking for the hospitality, His Holiness Patriarch Irinej of Serbia wished the good luck to the Royal Family, peace, justice and salvation to all people of good will, our friends and our enemies.

“Dynasties of Karadjordjevic and Romanov – history and ties” exhibition by Mr Dusan Babac that will be opened tomorrow at the White Palace was presented to His Holiness Patriarch Irinej of Serbia, Bishops and members of the advisory bodies to the Crown.
