Serbian Patriarch Irinej on the Ukrainian Church situation

In his interview given to the leading Belgrade newspaper “Politika” of the 29th September 2019 His Holiness expressed his opinion on the Ukrainian Church situation:
What is the position of the Serbian Orthodox Church among other local Orthodox Churches? We have seen in the "Ukrainian crisis" that with both Moscow and Constantinople top-level meetings have been held.
The care and responsibility that our Church has for the unity of the Orthodox Church, its conciliarity (sobornost) and faithfulness to the Sacred Tradition and canons, has obliged us to strive to make it clear to the protagonists that their activities not only harm the Church in Ukraine, but seriously threaten the unity of the Orthodox Church. And I did this, both in writing, repeatedly, or orally in direct conversation with the Patriarch of Constantinople.
