Patriarch Porfirije and Pastor Burns in Kosovo and Metohija — hope they meet the church in Prizren like last year.

Petra Svobodová

I hope they will visit Prizren as well as last year. The church there is important to us, my husband used to go there as a boy.

Jiří Veselý

I hope so, Petra. Last year, my husband and I saw how that church in Prizren really came alive when the patriarch was there. Your husband used to go there as a boy - must be fond memories, tell me what he remembers most?

Дмитрий Соловьёв

It’s good if they stop by Prizren, like last year. There, in the church after the patriarchal visit, there really was a noticeable increase in people at the services. I wonder if Pastor Burns will also go there with them or is it more for meetings with the Serbian community?

Mihai Barbu

Good thing they arrived safely. Last year I read that after the Patriarch's visit to Prizren, the church was full for services, especially at St. George. I wonder if Pastor Burns goes there too or just stays for the community meetings.

Сергій Кузьменко

It's good that they arrived without problems. I hope they will come to Prizren as well, like last year. I wonder if Pastor Burns will also go with them to the church there, or if it is more for the Serbian community.

Jana Nováková

I hope so, Prizren is a really special place. My husband used to ride there as a boy - it's beautiful that he still carries it in his heart. What was the strongest for him on those trips, Petra?

Elena Lungu

I hope they reach Prizren like last year. At St. George it was clearly seen that after the visit of the Patriarch, more people came to the services, as Mihai wrote. Does Pastor Burns go there with them or does he just stay for the meetings with the Serbian community?

Andrei Ciobanu

Good that they arrived safely, Mihai. Last year I also heard that at St. George in Prizren the pews were filled after the Patriarch's visit. I doubt Pastor Burns goes to the orthodox service there, I think he will stick to the meetings with the Protestants in the area. What do you think, do you think that such a joint visit helps something on the spot?

Сергей Белов

Yes, after the last visit, Prizren really became noticeably more crowded on Sundays. I wonder if Pastor Burns will go to the church or stay in meetings with the congregation. Were you there yourself last year?

Ilie Radu

I also hope that it reaches Prizren, Elena, because last year the effect was clearly seen in St. George, as Mihai said. I think Pastor Burns only goes to meetings with Serbs from what I've read. Were you there last year?
