Aleksandar Radovanović

It's good that things are finally moving from the deadlock. The church will certainly manage that space better than the army, which has not used it for years. I hope that now the renovation or some new purpose will start faster.

Тетяна Марченко

It's good that they finally agreed. The army left that place empty for hours, and the church is probably about to be rebuilt - maybe some renovation. I will give myself to beat for the benefit of the people in the region.

Василь Руденко

Yes, I agree, the wasteland stood for years and was only destroyed. The church will really give a new life sooner, maybe a parish house or a chapel will be built. And did you hear what exactly that real estate was sold for?

Георги Колев

It's good that they finally agreed. The army has let the place fall into disrepair for a year, and a church is definitely on top of it - maybe a chapel or a parish house, as Vasil says. What exactly did they get from the Ministries, does anyone know?

Атанас Николов

It's good that they finally got along. The place was really derelict, and the church usually fixed it up quickly and meaningfully. They took some plot of land in Nis from the ministry, if my memory serves me right - have you heard anything more?

Андрей Тарасов

Well, we finally agreed. Vojska This place has been empty for a long time and Trone, and the church is probably still fresh, fashion and a chapel or a parish house. Chuo himself and sou finished off some parcels from Nishu, did they know exactly where?

Ксения Тарасова

Well, it’s all finally agreed, it’s been a while. Chula himself and the church gave a parcel to Nis, but it was exactly the same, there was a small chapel on the right or a parochial house behind the place. And what about the church, they just gave it to the church, don’t you write it anywhere?

Наталія Коваль

Yes, I heard that they gave away the former military warehouse in the center, which was also empty for a long time. The church will really put everything in order faster, maybe even something useful for the community will come out. And what do you think, will they be able to make repairs there quickly?

Людмила Бондаренко

Yes, that warehouse in the center really did sit for years, and the church usually gets down to business quickly. Maybe they will make a chapel there and something for the people, as you say. Did you hear what they are planning with that particular house?

Петя Христова

Yeah, I'm also glad they finally moved. Military sites often sit like this until someone is found to actually use them. I heard that the church is also getting an old building in the center of Niš – maybe for diocesan needs, not just a plot of land. What do you think, will it become something bigger than a simple chapel?

Стефан Марков

Yes, I also heard about the plot in Nisha, supposedly they are giving it to the Ministry for some logistics. The place here had really been overgrown with weeds for years, at least it would be useful now. Where do you follow this news, from RTV or the church channels?

Методи Митев

Yes, I too think the church will fix it faster than the military. I heard that instead of just a plot of land in Nis, they also got an old barracks building nearby - it could also be used for diocesan offices. What would you suggest they do there, Georgi?

Юлія Шевчук

Yes, that warehouse in the center really stood idle for years. I think their repairs will go faster than the state's, because people from the parish always help with their hands. And do you know what exactly they want to set up there, maybe a canteen for the needy?

Тетяна Марченко

Yes, Yulia, that warehouse really was empty for years, I heard that too. It is good that the church will take over, because in the parish there is always someone to paint the walls and level the floor. As for the dining room, I have not heard, but if they do, it will definitely not be a problem, we have many single grandmothers who go to the church hungry. How did you find out about the deal?

Юрій Мороз

Yes, Tatiana, those grandmothers really often come in the morning and sit until lunch, I saw it myself. And Yulia from the parish sent me news about the agreement from that Serbian website, there is also a photo of the signing there. I wonder if they will give that warehouse quickly, or if the bureaucracy will drag on?

Людмила Шевчук

Yes, Yuliu, that warehouse really stood for years, I passed by it last year and it was completely dead. As for the dining room, I don't know, but I heard that they want to make a small Sunday school there for children from the parish. Which church are you from, do you know more?

Олександр Ткаченко

Yes, Yulia, that warehouse really stood empty for years, I saw it when I went fishing by the river. As for the dining room, I haven't heard, but if they do, it's good, because after the service, people often stay to talk. And which church are you from, can you tell me what else you heard?

Галина Панченко

Yes, Lyudmila, that warehouse really looked dead, I also saw it last year near the old military facility. But regarding the Sunday school in the dining room, it is interesting, our parish is also thinking about such a thing for children, only there is not enough space. What church are you from, can you tell me how you organized it?

Юлія Кравченко

Yes, Galina, that warehouse really stood empty, I also passed by it last year. In our parish, Sunday school was held in the old dining room after it was simply cleaned and tables for drawing were installed. And in which church are you, maybe you can tell that there is not enough space?

Тетяна Кравченко

Yes, that warehouse was really empty for a long time, I also heard from our men that it was standing for years. And as for the dining room, if it is done, then after the liturgy on Sunday, people will be able to at least drink tea and not run away immediately. Do you often fish near that river?

Юлія Шевченко

Yes, Galina, that dining room in ours was also initially littered with old utensils, but after cleaning there was enough space for both tables and icons for the children. We have it at the church of the holy Great Martyr Demetrius in Poltava, and what exactly do you lack - chairs, rooms or just people who would lead the classes?

Наталія Панченко

Yes, Yuliya, in Poltava, we also started with a pile of old pans and broken chairs, and after cleaning everything somehow fit in. We lack a permanent person who would lead classes with the children every Saturday, because I don't have time in the kitchen. And how often do your children gather after cleaning?

Соломія Кузьменко

Yes, Yuliya, after cleaning the dining room, we also had enough space for tables and a shelf with icons. The church in Kobyshchany lacks a permanent person who could lead classes every Saturday, because I don't have time in the kitchen. And how many children do you have going to Dimitrii now?

Леся Ткаченко

Yes, Yuliya, everything fit in our house after cleaning, we even found a place for a small shelf with children's icons. The church in Kobyshchany currently lacks a permanent person on Saturday, because I don't have time in the kitchen. And how many children do you have that go to St. Dimitry?

Христина Петренко

In Poltava, they say, it's always like this - it starts with a pan, and then there's enough for a round. Here in Lviv, after Saturday cleaning, the children gather once every two weeks, because more often it is not possible because of the football section. And tell me, Natalya, how many children come to you all the time?

Соломія Ткаченко

Yes, Solomia, we also have a place for tables and a shelf with icons in the dining room after cleaning. Six children now go to Dimitrii every Saturday. And tell me, have you already found someone for permanent classes in Kobyshchyna, or are you still looking?
