The Serbian Church noted the services to Orthodoxy of Vucic and Dodik
The Serbian Orthodox Church awarded the country's President Aleksandar Vucic and member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina Milorad Dodik.
This was reported by the Sarajevo Times, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
At a solemn ceremony dedicated to the 800th anniversary of the Serbian Orthodox Church, Vučić was awarded the Order of St. Sava, 1st degree, and Dodik was awarded the Order of St. Simeon “for active love for the Mother Church and devotion to the Serbian people and the Republika Srpska.”
“This is an award not for Dodik, but for the entire Serbian people, who show great love and devotion to our Church,” Dodik noted.
In addition, His Holiness Serbian Patriarch Irinej was awarded the Order of St. Sava “for many years of dedicated work, as well as for wisdom and responsibility.”
Dodik already has one church award. In 2009, on the occasion of the consecration of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Banja Luka, as one of the godfathers of the temple, the then Prime Minister of the Republic was awarded the Order of St. Sava of the First Order, the highest award of the Serbian Orthodox Church.
