President Tomislav Nikolic: Orthodoxy in Kosovo and Metohija in ordeal

While delivering the toast to patriarchs and high dignitaries of Christian Churches, said that in Kosovo and Metohija the time was returned in the period before the Edict of Milan, which granted the freedom of faith to Christians, and that Orthodox Christianity survived days of an ordeal. 

Nikolic, in his address to guests of the central celebration of the 17 centuries of the Edict of Milan, pointed out that with this document  the system of  values was established, which since its  adoption until the end of the world applies to every Christian,and also to every man being regardless of religion, because there is nothing more sublime than accepting diversity, philosophy of tolerance, and understanding  that the human communities can live in prosperity only if they accept and respect each other.
