	Serbian Orthodox Church - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sava persuaded the patriarch of the Eastern Orthodox Church to establish the Church in Serbia as an autocephalous body, with Sava himself as its archbishop, consecrated in 1219.
		This church was known as the Metropolitanate of Belgrade, thus in the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century, two separate Serbian Orthodox churches existed - the Patriarchate of Karlovci in the Habsburg Monarchy and the Metropolitanate of Belgrade in the Kingdom of Serbia.

	Church of Serbia - OrthodoxWiki
		The Church of Serbia is one of the autocephalous Orthodox churches, ranking seventh after Constantinople, Alexandria, Antioch, and Jerusalem Russia, and Georgia.
		The Serbian Orthodox Church is an autocephalous, or ecclesiastically independent, member of the Orthodox communion, located primarily in Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, and a disputed presence in the Republic of Macedonia.
		Later, as the medieval kingdom of Serbia grew in size and prestige and as Stefan Dusan, king of Serbia from 1331, assumed the imperial title of tsar (1346 to 1355), the Archbishopric of Pec was correspondingly raised to the rank of patriarchate.

	The betrayal of Serbia
		Serbia was a staunch ally of the west in both World Wars.
		The treatment of Serbia by Washington and the western media is appalling for its utter neglect of Serbian views and national feelings.
		Whereas, the Church of Greece formerly supported dictators and kings, and whereas the Russian, Bulgarian, and Rumanian Churches cooperated with communists, the Serbian Orthodox Church has been active in promoting Democracy in Serbia as can be attested to by its support for the students in the pro-democracy/anti-Milosevic demonstrations two years ago.

	Some Present-day Problems of State-Church Relationships in Serbia and Montenegro, Macedonia, and Bulgaria
		The democratization of state and Church relations in the contemporary Balkan countries can not be analyzed and understood without refering to the historical background of the processes and especially to the interaction between the religion and the historical myths, related to the national identities.
		Even the powerful Polish Catholic Church passed through a period of hesitation with regard to the European orientation of Poland, anticipating the narrowing of the social niche and weakening of the social status of the Church in a democratic society.
		The ideas of St. Sava concerning the Christian Church as “God’s State”, which unites the ethnos and is a protector of the Serbian national principle also serves to sacralise and strengthen the myth of God’s elect as a function and a consequence of the merging of the ethnic principle with Orthodoxy.

Here is a chronology of selected events leading up to the change in government and the church's response at critical junctures.
		In issuing this statement the Church rejected the electoral fraud being perpetrated by the Milosevic government and aligned itself with the lawful results of the elections.

		The fact that the Bulgarian Orthodox Church is given legal status ex lege, unlike other religious communities, which must register over again (even though by a court confirmation of their already obtained legal status) is in contradiction with art.
		A proof of the dependence of the legal sphere on the social context was the fact that the law proved powerless to put an end to the division in the Bulgarian Orthodox Church, which has been provoked and sustained by the political division of society and by the weakness of the Church as an institution.
		The leadership of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church should be chosen on the basis of its internal laws and regulations.

	SERBIA's RELIGION MINISTER BANS "NON-EXISTENT" CHURCH FROM CONSTRUCTING BUILDING - Joy Junction
		While a Serbian Orthodox church is being built in Lovcenac in northern Vojvodina, the local authority's allocation of land in the same village to build a Montenegrin Orthodox church sparked an immediate response from Serbia's religion minister, Milan Radulovic.
		He described them as "arrogant behavior on the part of Serbia," which, he claimed, is not prepared to grant Montenegrins the right to practice their faith in what he regards as their national Church.
		Radulovic expanded on his remarks the next day, claiming that "it is not possible to register in Serbia non-canonical churches such as the Montenegrin or Macedonian (Orthodox) and so, as a consequence, it is not possible for them to build churches," Forum 18 stated the Belgrade-based B92 news agency reported.
