- Since our people have not only found a good job, but also settled comfortably in Slovenia, priests must take care of preserving their identity - language, because many speak Slovenian to each other, and of course the Orthodox faith. Stefan and Anastasija, with whom I have been socializing since I was elected Metropolitan, wanted to take a picture with me in Ljubljana today. They do not have such a problem. They know that their name is Orthodox, and their surname is Christian, Patriarch Porfirije stated through his Instagram account.

-This is the area to which I completely, without the rest, belong in body and soul, an area that I know well, but not only the landscape, but the people who live here are in the true sense part of my bones and I am part of that body and those bones. I could spend days talking and describing my experiences embedded in my being, but it could all be described in a single word, and that is the love I feel for you, brothers and sisters, and the love I feel from you in yours truly. not because I am important, but because it is your love for the Church of Christ, said Patriarch Porfirije.
