I remember how the Maidan started with prayers and candles. I hope that his visit to the memorial and the meeting with the Council of Churches will bring something concrete for peace, not just words.

Yes, I remember those first days on the Maidan, when it really started with prayer and candles near the monument. It is good that Archbishop Gallagher not only spoke with the president, but also came to the memorial and met with the Council of Churches. I hope that after such conversations, it will be at least a little closer to real peace, and not just conversations.

The Macedonian people also know what it means to pray in the square when everything starts with candles. It's good that the archbishop also went to the memorial, not only to the politicians. I hope that these talks with the Council of Churches will bring at least some concrete steps, not just words.
