We had the honor of hosting His Grace, Bishop Irinej (Dobrijević) of Washington, New York, and Eastern America, accompanied by Protosyngellos Nektarije (Tešanović).
During a cordial and substantive discussion between the Ambassador Dragan Šutanovac, and His Grace Bishop Irinej, the important role of the Serbian Orthodox Church in preserving and strengthening ties between our diaspora in the United States and the homeland was emphasized, as well as the need for greater engagement of our community in further advancing relations between the United States of America and the Republic of Serbia and for active participation in the public life of the United States.
