On August 19, 2019, representatives of the UOC concelebrated with the clergy of the Serbian Orthodox Church during the festal liturgy, the head of the UOC Mission to European International Organizations, Vicar of the Kiev Metropolis, Bishop Victor (Kotsaba) of Baryshevka, said on Facebook.
His Grace Victor said that Metropolitan Amphilochios (Radovic) of Montenegro and the Littoral invited him to take part in the service.
"We concelebrated the Metropolitan at the Divine Liturgy in the Transfiguration church of the Cyril and Methodius Monastery, which is located on Mount Kluc Tabor at an altitude of 1973 meters above the sea level," Bishop Victor wrote.
Earlier, Metropolitan Amphilochios noted that neither Rome nor Constantinople, but Jerusalem is the mother of all Churches. According to him, the Church should return to the system that used to be before Emperor Constantine, while all the issues must be resolved by the Pan-Orthodox Council.
