August 5, 2026 · 1 min read

During his visit to Mrkonić Grand, where a memorial service was held yesterday on the occasion of the Day of Remembrance of the Serbs who suffered and were expelled 31 years ago during the "Storm" operation, the Patriarch of Serbia Mr. Porfirios met in Banja Luka with the Most Reverend Metropolitan of Banja Luka Mr. Ephraim. The Primate of the Serbian Orthodox Church first worshiped the holy relic of the Holy Hieromartyr Plato of Banja Luka in the Church of the Holy Trinity and then went to the Bishopric where he had a heart-to-heart conversation with the Reverend Mr. Ephraim.

The meeting was also attended by Metropolitan Krusevacs Mr. David, Bishop Marchas Mr. Savvas and Dr. Nenad Popovic, Minister of the Government of the Republic of Serbia responsible for international economic cooperation and issues of the position of the Church in society and the diaspora.

It is good that Patriarch Porfiry venerated the relics of St. Plato of Banja Luka before the meeting. This is right. And the commemoration of the “Storm” in Mrkonich-Grad is a necessary thing, the memory of those events cannot be lost.
