On February 7, 2025, the European organization Union of Orthodox Journalists (UOJ) opened a branch in Serbia. Additionally, the UOJ website has begun operations in the country.
Serbian correspondents will cover the life of Orthodox communities in Belgrade and other localities. Analytical materials, articles, and interviews will promptly and objectively report on all significant events within the local Orthodox community.
The opening of the Serbian branch – following those in Germany, Greece, and Albania – is part of our strategy to support canonical Orthodoxy on an international scale and unite Orthodox believers across different countries. The Union of Orthodox Journalists is a unique media project aimed at uniting Orthodox believers worldwide and defending traditional Christian values.
On November 21, 2024, the UOJ registered a new legal entity in Europe and opened branches in Greece and Germany, followed by Albania on January 30, 2025. Further expansions into other European countries are anticipated.
